pannoni4, who uploads a lot of commercials and sometimes soap operas, has a Google+ channel with a few Y&R episodes from December 1984. Just Google pannoni4's Google+ and you will quickly see a link to their soap page.

There are rumors going around (just rumors, only one part is actually confirmed)...

That's fascinating. So I guess he's the first Oscar-winner to be involved with the show.

Faux News.

More on the wind and solar movements and how Trump's tariff is essentially peeing in the wind (no pun intended). https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/24/trumps-failing-war-green-power-307281

I would say that someone is trying to get these shows killed off, but Bravo doesn't have much else.

Is this a failing upwards situation? Or about connections? I haven't heard much of anything positive about RHOA this season and it seems like filming wasn't very pleasant either, so why would he get another gig?

I guess this is, as so many have said, mostly just being done to try to salvage the natural gas and coal industries. And of course this will cost more jobs, but who cares, right? Not our 'jobs President.' I have to admit I do wonder how effective the market is as I read India is scaling back due to it not being as big as they thought. (I think it was India) I read that some were saying they actually thought the tariffs would be even higher than this, which makes me wonder just how out of control things are behind the scenes.

I was going to ask if you knew her character. I guess you do! I don't think I've ever seen any of her episodes. I think this may be the first Emmerdale actor to get an Oscar nod.

Oh good. I hope this one won't be blocked like NC was.

There was an article last week that talked about how much Kelly resents Congress. I wonder how much of a role that plays. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/12/john-kelly-trump-chief-of-staff-337987 I saw this. I also see that none of the Republicans who went apeshit over the old story about Clinton White House people taking the "w"s off the keyboards before W took over have had a peep about this.

This isn't William Moses in the Delco ad is it?

Yes, it's a pretty awful fanbase - that segment of it, anyway. Crazy.

Kim Rhodes (ex-Cindy Harrison, AW/ATWT) was on Supernatural again last week, as part of the backdoor pilot Wayward Daughters. Most fans of that show will not support anything that doesn't involve "J2," so I doubt it will be picked up, but good luck to her.

Oh that liberal media. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/20/government-shutdown-media-blame-353584?lo=ap_b1 For instance, Republicans crowed and Democrats cried foul Friday night when The New York Times sent out a push alert with the heading, “Senate Democrats blocked passage of a stopgap spending bill to keep the government open. Lawmakers have less than 2 hours before a shutdown.” The AP ran a headline with wording similar to the Times, and its @AP_Politics feed tweeted out last night, “The Latest: Senate Democrats derail bill to avert shutdown.” Conservative sites The Daily Caller and Townhall.com pounced on the headlines, highlighting them in stories. That all led the Washington Post’s Robert Costa to report on Twitter Saturday morning: “House GOP read out headlines of NYT and AP, among others, and talked up idea this is a Dem-causes shutdown, per person there. Person adds that GOP holding to position and believe Senate Dems have to move toward them.”

Another one:

I don't agree with the part about Trump possibly being more popular in November (I think that ship has sunk) but this article talking about how likely it is that Democrats won't do that well in the midterms is otherwise on the nose. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/01/20/democrats-wave-2018-216488

Lisa took a break in 1990 (I think) and Roya Megnot, her predecessor, filled in for her.

I thought this was nice of Mia Farrow.

Another piece of trash. How many have the same views but were smart enough to keep quiet. http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/18/politics/kfile-carl-higbie-on-the-radio/index.html?sr=twCNN011818kfile-carl-higbie-on-the-radio0643PMStory

Does anyone else feel like the porn star stuff is a deliberate media distraction away from bigger material? I think he has some fantasy that if he forces a shutdown then the Democrats will bend his way and he can look like a big hero. And even if it backfires on the GOP (which I have my doubts about as I think "Libruls only care about illegal aliens taking over our country1111!1!!" will have traction), he won't care because he will just say they should have listened to him. He always has to be right and everyone has to kiss up to him and coddle his worst impulses. And yet again Faux News is the real decider: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/18/trump-tv-habits-government-shutdown-2018-346494

I saw that Glenn Greenwald was jumping up and down for Banfield on Twitter. I have no trust in her or in him and I have to wonder what their agenda is. As for whoever wrote that article, she sounds like she's read too many Slate think pieces and believes they're how to operate in the real world. A waste of time.

Frances Bay taking the lead in an episode of The Judge. The title is oddly appropriate for her Twin Peaks character...
