Lest we forget, what has been going on in Italy over the last several years in regards to the open hostility shown to migrants and ethnic minorities, is as bad as ever, if not worse. Italian Minister Moves to Count and Expel Roma, Drawing Outrage

Now that there will be a vacancy on the UN Human Rights Council, apparently Russia wants a chair. You cannot make this stuff up.

White House deputy Chief of Staff Joe Hagin has ties to a sex cult??! Apparently his resignation comes on the heels of a BuzzFeed story that reported this.

You Tube doesn't even have episodes from half of the Toms uploaded on the site.

Okay, this is not meant to be funny but...

Somehow I doubt the Breitbarts and the Daily Callers of the world would be circulating this news item.

No surprise that under Trump, the DOJ has moved to put more people in jail, and one of the consequences of this + the GOP's 'smaller government' ethos-- "the shortage of correctional officers has grown chronic under President Trump". You now have teachers and clerks serving as substitute guards at maximum security prisons, to a swelling prison population. Nice work, America.

I couldn't change the channel fast enough when that show came on. Maybe that's why I don't remember him.

...but she's just like her husband.

Remember those twits who used to post on this messageboard claiming that HRC would be as bad or worse than Trump? I'm glad that they were booted off --dumb AF. I sincerely doubt that the U.S. would be opening and operating child concentration camps had HRC been POTUS.

@FaulknerAnd it's Venus' Birthday today too!

Still a cute photo though, so I'm gonna use it. No offense to anyone in L.A. but I always thought that the soaps on the West Coast had the worst hair styling. After the 1980s, they truly fell off. The hair on shows like AMC, ATWT, OLTL was usually on point (with the exception of some terrible trends), no matter the ethnicity because they actually had stylists capable of doing hair and working with any texture.

I still don't even know who this mofo is. 411 for those who do.

Does anyone know whatever happened to Ann Mitchell (Jane McDonald Bingham)? Has anyone tried asking Elizabeth Hubbard whether she has kept in touch? I tried looking on IMDB and only found scant biographical information (b. 1956, is that possible??). I tried doing a garden variety search online and came up with some interesting results, none of which had anything to do with Ann Mitchell. The results were pretty wild though, LOL. In the images section some random photos came up including this one, LOL. Sharon Case as Debbie Simon. I think I may try to use this as my new avatar for awhile.

Even less so, ED's Margo, IMO.

How many people have seen this episode recently?

Finally!

They're certainly more blatant and demonstrable and much easier to prove. Every day, at some point, it dawns on me that people actually voted for this. FFS.

Twitter can be a pain but just be aware that IG is owned by Facebook and they mine and harvest all your data for third parties to use/buy. Just as long as you're aware.

How are people going to see them in the U.S. when coverage of the matches are so scattershot? That's a major problem. The WTA, in particular, went for that short money with no long term thinking on how they could make the sport more accessible. Are there droves of little brown kids from Compton who have access to WTA TV and Tennis TV? What about TC's online tier that is exorbitant? US Tennis needs to stop price gouging and trying to handpick faves and open it up to more people. Although Europe (which makes their matches far more accessible) had great numbers. Of course, having the men's and women's champions be European surely made a difference but Eurosport makes their matches much more accessible than their U.S. counterparts do.

These people in the Trump WH make me sick. I find every word they spew to be so distasteful, it's nauseating to me. At times, I cannot even stomach to hear their voices, which is why I haven't even tried to post the verbal confrontation that happened between a reporter and Huckabee Sanders. I literally cannot stand the lot of them.

It's a very similar analogy though. I know there have been some dips in viewers when Tiger wasn't playing but overall, golf's numbers have stayed close to what they have been over the last decade or so. With the emergence of golfers like Jordan Spieth, casual interest has held on, especially at major events. On any given Sunday, you can see golf on CBS during warm weather months. ESPN also regularly covers golf and I'm always seeing highlights on the local/regional nightly news. The Masters, The U.S. Open and the Ryders Cup all get good media coverage (more than 30 seconds, that's for sure) and I don't even watch golf! LOL. If anything, there are more public tennis courts than golf courses open to the public in the U.S.

I remember after Serena won her first major, she was still winning tournaments but she wouldn't become a true Slam contender again for another two years (until 2001 when she lost to Venus at the U.S. Open). U.S. viewers stayed loyal to the sport perhaps because Venus was winning a lot, then you also had Lindsey Davenport who was also a contender for big titles and on the men's side you started to see the emergence of Andy Roddick but all in all, fans were still following the sport (plenty of men were following Kournikova, for reasons we all can guess). Back then, CBS, NBC and even ABC (sometimes) was showing tennis. For many years (especially in the 90s), it was possible to see the autumn swing (which was mainly in Europe, in those days) almost every weekend on basic cable! No expensive digital tier! This is what I mean by accessibility of the sport. I hear tennis fans complaining that they subscribe to WTA TV, yet they're still missing matches! Tennis is the only sport, I truly follow on a consistent basis yet, I sometimes find myself watching NBA finals or even an occasional holiday game between teams(on ABC and ESPN, ESPN3) because it's nice to be able to consistently catch games. Tennis used to be this way but is no longer-- in fact, tennis makes it difficult to find and keep up with the sport. You have to be a dedicated fan to put up with half this nonsense.
