DRW50

She was mixing sleeping pills and alcohol and jumped in the car when she heard Preston was leaving. It was hilarious.

It was all flat. You could see the strings - it was supposed to be very clever that they were with the same man, they'd find out in the Vic, of course Martin would beat him up, and then the hilarious crash that seemed like something from many years ago, like one of those old syndicated shows from the late '80s. Michelle's pleading and whining was embarrassing - I felt so embarrassed when she was cowering. That was NOT Michelle. James Bye as Martin salvaged the only parts that were worth salvaging, when he told Michelle how ashamed he was of her. Jenna Russell was good in that scene and in the pilled out moments near the end but it was all just trash. Sadly the ratings will likely be good so they will keep going to this well of trash. Denise/Kush and Sylvie/Tina were a lot better.

Oh they'll be back to Ste and Harry soon enough. Bleh.

One woman was married to a man in Monticello at that time who was in love with her. The other woman had been married to a man Nicole had had an affair with or something. I think he had died and she blamed Nicole. I would pay money to see that storyline.

To be honest with you I don't trust most news sites these days. I'm just hoping that it trickles down to the average voter in some form. But I don't really know if anyone can understand what he's doing with things like labor regulations unless they feel the effects themselves. Of course many of those who do will still blame Obama anyway, but I hope that isn't the case for everyone.

The main things I saw here were all about Spicer. Then I went to a few political news sites and it was a mix of Yates, Nunes, Yates, the repeal, the regulations, Spicer, etc. But in a celebrity driven culture, a clown is always going to get a lot of attention because it's easier for people to laugh at and get a lot of retweets and likes.

I doubt it was planned that way but it was clever anyway of Trump and the GOP to scale back so many critical regulations and announce that they are pushing forward with another ACA repeal effort while celebrity tweeters and the usual LOL brigades are focused on the latest stupidity of Sean Spicer. Shiny objects always get the job done.

If you have a chance you should watch yesterday's episode. The scene with Ashley and Laurel in the care home will make you cry.

The year Nixon fell apart. With the coarseness and open bigotry of so many politicians these days, especially on the right, sometimes I forget how disturbed he was. http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/03/john-farrell-nixon-book-excerpt-214954

Mike Nelson makes me not bother with that but I hope others enjoy it.

Blame game. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-blame-agenda-stalls-236508

Dingles don't really need an excuse - they just act out of spite.

If those refugees don't know about drug use now, they will soon enough. It's the American way. That article certainly gives a powerful support to the "drug tests now and forever" mindset we are getting in all sectors.

Thanks. I wonder if it was Courtney's choice to go.

That article managed to make me find something worth reading at Salon, which is a feat. http://www.salon.com/2017/03/21/liberal-shaming-of-appalachia-inside-the-media-elites-obsession-with-the-hillbilly-problem/ It's always interesting to me when you have very rich liberals (often white liberals) feeling like this is their big opportunity to tell most of America to go to hell. That's what this type of thinking does. It's couched in cutting off dead-end voters who will always support Trump, but that's just a facade, because many, many people who didn't vote for him will be hurt, and that many people, thanks to the continual cuts to education and loss of independence, wouldn't even know what to do about registering or going to vote. Those people don't matter. Any of the people who actually did vote for Hillary but aren't in enclaves in certain states don't matter either. The only people who matter are those who have spent years jumping up and down and doing absolutely nothing to actually help anyone, but now feel special because they get to use hashtags like "#TheResistance" and crow about how they knew Trump was terrible and Hillary was terrible and they were proven right. This doesn't actually do anything to help anyone - there are no solutions, no ideas. It's just, I guess, I-told-you-so-itis. Even the people who are lucky enough to live in liberal enclaves will suffer, but hey, at least they get to know they're around people who think the right thoughts and sort of kind of feel bad for them...maybe. All that really matters is that certain very rich people on the left are now free to tell us it's time to stop caring, when most of them never cared in the first place. I mostly remember Frank Rich for being one of the many interchangeable W critics at the NYT who mostly served as window dressing while that paper helped send people to war, to die, to return with horrible injuries and little to no support when they returned home. (not to mention all the Iraqis whose lives were destroyed) I have a feeling the reaction to those people was probably the same go-to-hell mentality. It must be nice to feel that good about yourself.

I don't really understand why he is still using the "she won far more votes than were in the states she lost." Yes, she did...and that means absolutely nothing as that isn't how we elect Presidents. Not once does he suggest how we are supposed to win an election, unless he thinks California is the only state. I certainly agree that Democratic politicians need to talk like real people, but he spends the entire article basically telling Democrats to not listen to anyone but themselves and assures them that this is perfectly fine because Republicans are worse at not caring about poor people and that these people are worthless anyway. It's a good way to feel morally superior, and that's about it. He seems far more interested in making sure liberals don't feel guilty than in actually caring about anything else. He doesn't have to worry about that - a lot of the loudest liberals out there only really care about other people when it makes them feel better about themselves. The rest of the time, they just want everyone to burn.

So it looks like some "White House correspondent" from some lying hate site is trying to start trash about Malia Obama. Here's an article on him. https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2017/02/13/dangerous-troll-now-reporting-white-house/215320

I guess that would explain why he didn't shake her hand. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/26/magazine/trump-vs-congress-now-what.html?action=click&contentCollection=magazine&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=sectionfront http://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-obamacare-republicans-freedom-caucus-236515 But Trump’s ire, apparently, wasn’t limited to the conservative rebels. Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.) — leader of the moderate Tuesday Group — confirmed that Trump upbraided him during a recent meeting at the White House and accused him of “destroying” the Republican Party. Dent was referring to an anecdote published Sunday in the New York Times Magazine describing the tense confrontation. “According to an attendee, Trump angrily informed Dent that he was ‘destroying the Republican Party’ and ‘was going to take down tax reform — and I’m going to blame you,” the magazine’s Robert Draper reported. Dent told “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd that the exchange did take place and said he listened to the president “very respectfully.” He also said he had no plans to back down in the face of Trump’s anger.

Thanks. I wish the one where she, Anthony George, and Grayson Hall interacted was around.

Looking at that most of the women haven't aged much at all. Of course Hollywood won't let women age, but they don't look like space aliens either.

I have a tough time believing she would actually say that. She's tough but seems to be very diplomatic and wouldn't lower herself to his level.

I'm sure they'll be right on that...

Mark Faulkner's EON page used to have a great writeup on the show's villainesses, including Elly Jo. I don't know if it does anymore.

James/Scott would be disgusting. Scott should be shot from a cannon. A consistently terrible character. The Hunters were a very good family. Blyton and Gemma Atkinson were great together. I wish Alex Carter was still on Emmerdale so they could all meet up.
