You can see their contempt for Val in the Jill story ("poor Val"), and it just chugs along. They wrecked Mack more than any other character. He went from being one of my favorite characters to someone I despised.

I'd totally forgotten that. I agree she would have fit in well.

Thanks. Never read that. I never knew John Larkin's daughter was on the show.

I'm trying to remember a time that the White House press corps were actually of any merit. Watergate, maybe? I remember hearing about the laughing and chuckling they did when Reagan's press person would joke about AIDS. I remember their sycophancy with W, and oddities like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Gannon They shouldn't be shut out, as it's just another sign of censorship, but they're just a pointless relic of a time when back-slapping and tomey parties with the Bradlees were all that mattered.

It's trolling. There is no right answer to give because the question is designed for no other reason than to annoy people, I assume.

They don't have much room to talk these days. I'm sure it's true, but Perez Hilton is trash. Kudos to you for all the time and work. I really hope something comes through.

The biggest joke is that the first article I read ended up centering around a Trump tweet from 2015 (over their retiring their elephants due to battles with animal groups). People will never realize that when they make everything about him, he always wins.

I did a double take when I saw Rob Morrow's name tied to Peter Thiel (famous for ridding the world of Gawker in probably about the most destructive way possible). Thankfully it is not the actor I've found attractive for 25 years (still not enough to make me watch the last years of Northern Exposure...), but instead some other person with the same moniker. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/peter-thiel-california-governor-bid-233632

Politico also had a piece on that, interviewing blue-collar women. The problem, as Obama said last year, is that the GOP says and does most of the same things Trump says and does, they're just less blatantly ugly about it. They may have a shinier face, one for the media to tear their hair for yet again, but most of the policies won't change. They may be more likely to not get us bombed to hell, but considering some of the insane things media darling Marco and other "moderate" and "reasonable" Republicans were saying during the primary, I have my doubts.

How sad

I thought this was interesting. http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/01/philippe-reines-donald-trump-214630

That's cute. I wonder if he ever watched Twin Peaks...

I doubt he cares. He had a fit and will again, rinse and repeat. If he didn't stop during the election he won't now.

This seems like such a final goodbye for Cliff and Nina. Did the show plan to write them out but changed their mind?

Thanks. I guess there was a lot of upheaval with the hospital at this time as this was also during that bizarre Jeff recast period.

I'm watching a January 1987 episode and I see Denny Albee at some goodbye party for Nina and Cliff. Who did he play and how long was he on?

Don't a lot of the intelligence and military in the country have issues with Bibi anyway? I was reading about a poll from a few days ago that had 30% of Democratic voters supporting Palestine and 30% Israel. That was seen as a shock as it's always been a wide majority position for Democrats to support Israel. Bibi's power games and his open loathing of Obama seem to have taken a toll.

Thanks. I don't trust Huff Post as I see it as a poorly edited vanity project, but I agree about the others. I just think that thanks to our "liberal" media, most these days don't trust major media outlets, and with good reason.
