That's disgusting. I shouldn't be shocked yet I am.

Celebrity Bowling with Jed Allan.

That channel has some promos and an OLTL 1990 episode as well (the one where Viki is shot).

That is a great ad. Efforts in Utah as Trump collapses. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/daily-202/2016/10/14/daily-202-trump-really-is-in-danger-of-losing-utah/58002271e9b69b059243020f/?tid=pm_politics_pop_b

Couldn't happen to a nicer piece of scum...another media darling too. They sure have great taste don't they?

I was glad to see him again. I had a feeling he'd be back today, based on spoilers (and someone breaking an embargo) but it was still nice. And he really looked the part too. I'm happy to see him back with Ben. I hope now we get more exploration of his struggles and, as you said, drop the charges.

Thanks. I just watched it. My comment there: Nice performance from Louise Shaffer. Wasn't Stephanie wearing that when she was murdered? (the gift from Wendy) I guess we know Wendy wasn't killed, as Bela was later made into a good guy who had a happy ending with Sunny, right? I like the montage at the end, although it's sobering to see a Christmas serial killer story. I didn't put this there, but Lisa Peluso's performance is hammy. I wonder if she wasn't comfortable playing a vixen until she got a bit older.

So the above is a bit of Courtney Simon's brief return. Thanks. I wish I could see all of it. I'd heard a fan or two talk about how hideous Louise Shaffer's wardrobe was as Stephanie. They aren't kidding. This [!@#$%^&*] looks like Mrs. Doubtfire formal wear.

I think we're in an era of politicians generally saying what they think, but one of the reasons people are elected should be doing what is right rather than what they feel is best for themselves. And that's increasingly rare now. Not doing that puts you on the road to being Sarah Palin, wherever the hell she is now.

So Trump's defense is, "She's ugly!" regarding the alleged assault on the People reporter. What a shock. Meanwhile, it's time for more Jew-hating conspiracy theories over the tape. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/conspiracy-theory-trump-tape

Ari Zucker speaks out. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/arianne-zucker-trump-today-show

Me too. I'm not sure if we have any chance of substantive issues with this campaign though. Trump is mostly slumbering along because he represents fear and hate - of the world, of the unknown, of the known. Meanwhile, creepy old Joe makes even Halperin seem objective. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/joe-scarborough-skeptical-timing-trump-sexual-assault-allegations

Apparently he'd also have to testify under oath, which would likely backfire. His campaign is planning (and already was) to push even more about Bill's past, with more publicity with Hannity (preaching to the choir at this point surely). I have to wonder at this point if this is just being done to try to repulse voters so much that they stay home. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-campaign-planned-intensify-attacks-bill-clinton-sexual-misconduct Meanwhile, some of that disgusting Fallwell Jr's students are actually fighting back against his craven enabling. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/jerry-falwell-stands-by-trump-amid-assault-allegations-229714

bandstandmike is offering episodes on DVD from 1984 on. They are no longer taking requests after Monday. I think they said you need to contact them on Facebook. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD9ZQME7mFfaEid7Qowlq9Q

George Takei is awesome. Speaking of Russia, apparently there's a story going around about their government ordering families of Russian government officials and so on to return to Russia. This is very worrying if true. Snopes seems to be saying it's based on a misunderstood article. I hope so. http://www.snopes.com/2016/10/12/putin-urging-russian-officials-to-return/

If any of you get a kick out of the old, bad (and sometimes hot) Eric Pollard, what is, I assume, a new version of one of the best old Youtube channels has reuploaded some of their old Eric clips for Chris Chittell’s 30th anniversary in the role. https://vimeo.com/user45005511

The bit about Bethenny cracked me up.

The real problem for America is that the GOP won't bother to look at the consequences - they will just do what they did in 2009 and be all about hating and opposing the POTUS. The GOP should have taken a long look in the mirror in 2009 and again in 2013, but they didn't have to. Part of that is down to the public always giving them second, third, fourth, and fifth chances. A lot of people either believe the hate and the hype, or are suckered into thinking it's not a big deal (I still remember how many in the media swore up and down that the Tea Party was all about taxes and were going to usher in some kind of age of a new fiscal-focused GOP). Until Republicans lose the Senate, are significantly reduced in the house and in state legislatures, and keep losing, nothing can change.

Thanks. I'm glad some are still trying to make new soaps...

To be honest the fans out there who go on and on about Robron and their teenage girl fans and how the show panders to them 24/7 (if a couple who rarely kiss or have scenes alone together is that heavy of pandering than these people have watched few soaps) annoy me as much as some of the more annoying "Robron" fans. I can't stand a lot of their fans, especially the ones who clearly just watch for that mediocre pairing, talk about how awful it is compared to the good old days when Robert was trying to kill people every other month, and talk about how terrible the rest of the show is (or talk about how everything it does is a ripoff of Hollyoaks), but Emmerdale has a lot of awful fans in general. I remember how outraged some of them were when it won a BSA for Best Soap because they said it was down to Robron fans and that meant it shouldn't have won because it didn't win when it was a better show. They are also claiming that "Robron" fans are dumb sheep who will vote for Rebecca as Best Newcomer at the NTAs...yet they've also said these fans will hate her and send hate to the actress. Anyway, the problem with her line is that the show is scared to ever say whether Robert is gay or bisexual. I just hope this isn't some excuse to have him come out as gay. I'm never going to believe the character is gay. And if they do this while they clearly have him having more chemistry with a woman while he barely even interacts with his boyfriend, it will be ludicrous. I don't mind Rebecca (and I thought the entrance with helicopter and villagers scurrying was very funny), but I hope Emily Head stops talking like she has a bit in her teeth. I'm not thrilled with some of the Priya and Rakesh story (her hissing with Chrissie is somewhat embarrassing - the show doesn't really know how to have that type of conflict between women in recent years), but I feel like Priya's really come into her own thanks to her friendship with Leyla miraculously reviving, and her strong bond with her family (I miss Nikhil but I'm enjoying the Sharmas more than I have in a while, even without him). I loved the scene where Jai tried to ask her about Rakesh and she said Rakesh doesn't exist anymore. I think they could still do something with Rakesh if they try, Pasha Bocarie is worth keeping around, but at this point I'd rather see Priya on her own, or with a new man. (I'd also like to see them actually put her in a scene with David...)

I guess they should call the show Superperson?

Nice to see that blatant anti-Semitism is alive and well in politics this year, yet again. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/adam-haber-ad-fiddler-roof
