Another Bernie supporting hypocrite. This man has always given me bad vibes (as TYT does in general) yet he is one of the faces of their movement.

What a talent. I have a couple of collections of his music. I was not aware that he also scored The Doctors until I was watching one of the Retro episodes and immediately noted his distinctive touch. RIP.

It was so freaky when I started watching and immediately heard those cues. 

That reminds me a little of I Wanna Dance WIth You (I can never remember if that was a real song from back in the day or not). 

Dark Shadows had some of the most beautiful music composed for a show. Some of the songs, like Josette's Theme, have never left my head. Initially so simple, sweet, then full on pathos - much like Josette herself. Cobert was a genius. I loved his Blue Whale songs the most.

Never knew Kim and Ariel took turns writing a newspaper column. It's great see more of Ariel. The Dr.Z/Cassandra North stuff amounts to filler .Ariel was to fabulous for that. The family scenes with John, Karen, Dusty and Andy were sweet and cute. Betsy Von Furstenberg looked some much like Eileen Fulton. I thought it was Eileen. 

I never knew what Ariel did after she split with John. I wish they'd kept her around (unless it was Judith Blazer's decision to leave) - there's something very special about her. Instead they just pretended she never existed. 

It's been so long since any new early '80s material popped up and now we get various episodes in the space of a week. A pleasant surprise. I'm glad it's 1984 instead of pornstache Brad and all the low energy 80-82 material.

This is what Bernie Sanders is and this is what we will be spending now to November doing...people who think the (second) most important election of our lifetime needs to be spent on smugging to voters about how communist dictatorships are awesome and America is the real enemy. What happened to all those Joe Rogan voters who are supposed to be so important? Do they love Castro too?

Meanwhile, the cultists are using Obama clips to defend Bernie's views on Castro...but don't they hate Obama? Don't they say he was a war criminal and a fraud? 

They are no better than Trump supporters, and Bernie is basically a communist Trump. 

What a choice. 

Saw these on Youtube. Not sure if they are new or just reuploads, but...

That first one really gets to me. Scott Bryce was such a beautiful crier (no wonder Marland went to town on Craig tears) and such a beautiful man. He always knew how to bring out the vulnerability in  Craig. And he and HBS worked so well together, like a real brother and sister.

It was more important to the media to rip every other candidate to shreds and drive them out. Warren  is the latest victim.

 

I'm glad it's coming out now. And I hope it continues. I really want Warren - I think she'd kill Trump in a head to head debate but I am now leaning more towards Biden after months. I still have reservations, but that last CNN townhall he did was exceptional. Nothing would get done during his tenure as president legislatively - but just his foreign relations experience could help at least start the repair work there. And I while I think Warren might be better, I think he could unify the silent majority at least - that's the forgotten center of the country

 

James Clyborn from SC is going to endorse Biden. That's a big deal and a win in SC would really help the reset. That campaign needs to stop the unforced errors.

It looks like he will end up being a clear second place in Nevada, which at least means he has some distance over the field. I saw that Warren is now second in a national poll, and not hugely behind Bernie (about 9 points), but I think it may be too late to make up the delegates. 

I just wish something could break. In my heart I just don't think Bernie even wants to win. He doesn't have to - he's very rich and will become even more rich if he loses. Warren and Biden at least do want to win and want to fight for us - even if we don't agree with all their plans or methods, it's still something that is valuable. Bernie doesn't want to fight for us. They just want to set everything on fire. Susan Sarandon is focused on Nancy Pelosi - and sadly, to many in his camp, Pelosi is the enemy and Trump is acceptable.

I wish more people up high had made these types of arguments months ago, rather than just randos I see on Twitter. Finally more people are talking about how just because Trump was elected doesn't mean some paradigm shift that will help Bernie. No matter how much most Bernie supporters admire Trump, they don't have the same backgrounds or appeals. 

Another day, another example of St. Bernard pissing away Florida (although that's probably beyond our grasp anyway, but still...) and many voters nationwide.

The main response I see in the comments is people playing "gotcha" with Ana, even though any idiot with a Google can easily know her political background. Talking about her doesn't make videos like this any less toxic for a general.

This was around the time that Will's entire coming out experience was left offcamera. 

Great writing. 

People's Choice Award winning The Colbys!

I'm so sorry I never got to experience Natalie - especially this golden era - live.

Is Kyle Jones Marianne's son? BIG news huh. This will for sure tip the scales and her huge flock of followers will start to feel the Bern. 

 

is Deval still running? I forgot Marianne stopped. 

He suspended.

Grifters unite! What a momentous day for any sucker needing a buck lifted out of their wallet.

At this point, I worry more about how a potential Bernie Sanders nomination might affect down-ballot races.  Sanders proved two years ago that his name and endorsement mean nothing, as all the candidates he'd backed lost in their respective contests.  Plus, the fact remains, we still don't have the Senate, and our hold on the House is shaky, too.  If Bernie were to become the nominee, there's a strong chance the Democrats could lose not just the Senate again, but also the House and the presidency as well; and if/when that happens, the party will be over, in more ways than one.

 

Which is why I can't take seriously Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar's claims that they are concerned about the direction this country has taken under the Donald Trump administration.  If they're as genuinely worried about this country as they say they are, then they need to exercise some common sense and get out of the damn race.  They've built up their respective brands enough to write their own tickets from here on out -- gubernatorial and senatorial races, network political analyst gigs, perhaps even future runs at the WH, you name it -- but this is so not their fight anymore.  The longer Buttigieg and Klobuchar stay in this game, the more they split the moderate vote, making the battle even tougher for Joe Biden, but more importantly, creating a path to the nomination for a divisive man (Sanders) who, I guarantee you, would not win against Trump in a general election.

 

In many respects, I like Buttigieg and Klobuchar, and I would gladly support either of them, if either of them had a real shot at becoming our next president.  However, I don't want to be sitting where I sit this time next year, looking down the path at a second Trump administration, where the GOP once again control all branches of government, and blaming those two in part(icular) for putting us there.

Could Obama tell Amy and Pete to drop out?  I"m sure he has pull with the party still.

 

He should also tell Bloomberg to stop using him in his ads or say he doesn't endorse Bloomberg.

Most likely the main reason Obama is staying quiet, beyond knowing his efforts would backfire, is because of Biden's frailty. At this point I don't really think Pete and Amy dropping out would even necessarily help Biden - he should, by all measures, be pulling away from Pete (Amy, other than New Hampshire and press hype, has mostly been a nonstarter), especially with the move to more diverse states, yet they were still relatively close in Nevada. 

If Steyer's results in Nevada are any indication, then polling may be vastly overstating his support. So that would be good for Biden in South Carolina, but when people seem to be seeking out so many alternatives to Biden, then  it suggests he just hasn't managed to win their support, and I'm not sure he would even if everyone dropped out and endorsed him.

I don't really believe most of the people running genuinely care about anything beyond entitlement and/or grifting. I think that 

Biden and Warren are the main exceptions, which is why I'm sad to see where they've ended up.

The Terms of Endearment theme over that Jeremy & Erica scene ... It's a bit of music that made the daytime rounds. CBS used it to promote the soaps during its 1984-85 affiliate reel. Anyway, I wonder if it was just for the promo or used in the actual episode.

Good catch. Probably just for the promo, but a lovely moment - in many ways Jeremy feels like the one great passionate romance Erica got to have. 

(I wish Susan had kept this nose)

Wasn't Marlena initially a short-term role until Deirdre became popular with fans?
