It said only "1991" so we wondered if it was definitely the Oct 2, 1991 episode, or if it could be something else. The update: Confirmation from zap2it.com: the Nov. 27, 2020 repeat is from Oct 2, 1991. "David wears the same disguise as Danny to the Masquerade Ball; Paul and Lauren run into Scott and Sheila". Presumably they'll just use the edited version that aired April 17, 2020.

Hmmm. That would be neat. I don't know for sure that it's Oct 2, 1991. I made the assumption based on the "Be Our Guest" label. But I could be wrong. Thurs Nov 26, 2020: B&B and Y&R will be preempted for a CBS Thanksgiving special and NFL football.

On TVGuide.com, it says that for Friday November 27, 2020 (day after Thanksgiving in USA), there is a episode *NOT* marked "new". Original airdate not listed. It's called "Be Our Guest". (I had no idea what that meant.) Then I checked the Canadian guide here: https://www.ontvtonight.com/ca/guide/listings/tvshow?cid=892144823&pid=9251218863&tm=2020-11-27+19%3A00%3A00&provider=T3153330286 This says that on Friday Nov 27, 2020, CBS will air Y&R "Be Our Guest", original airdate "1991". After googling, I discovered that "Be Our Guest" is how CBS promoted the 1991 Masquerade Ball episode when it aired April 17, 2020. That makes sense, because on Monday November 30th, Y&R kicks off a week of a big party centered around the 12,000th episode which airs Dec. 1st. And Lauralee Bell posted last week an instagram of herself with Tricia Cast and Patty Weaver -- all of whom attended the 1991 ball. It's too bad that the April 2020 airing of the ball edited out Patty Weaver singing George Benson's "Masquerade".

I know! There's a war going on in Nagorno-Karabakh.

McConnell apparently believes pandemics are real things, perhaps because he had polio when he was a toddler? Or maybe he's decided to throw Trump under the bus. Who knows.

President Donald Trump required personnel at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to sign nondisclosure agreements last year before they could be involved with treating him, according to four people familiar with the process. During a surprise trip to Walter Reed on Nov. 16, 2019, Trump mandated signed NDAs from both physicians and nonmedical staff, most of whom are active-duty military service members, these people said. At least two doctors at Walter Reed who refused to sign the NDAs were subsequently not permitted to have any involvement in the president's care, two of the people said. The reason for his trip last year remains shrouded in mystery. The four people familiar with the process did not know whether, during the president's most recent visit over the weekend, he had the same requirement for Walter Reed staff members who had not previously been involved in his care. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-asked-walter-reed-doctors-sign-non-disclosure-agreements-2019-n1242293

Interesting how someone at Regeneron is making statements that contradict the White House doctor's statements.

Quoting excerpts from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: quote: Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis Police officer charged with murdering George Floyd on Memorial Day, posted a $1 million bond Wednesday and was released from the state prison where he was being held pending trial. In response, Gov. Tim Walz announced Wednesday afternoon that he was activating the Minnesota National Guard and mobilizing 100 state troopers and 75 conservation officers to help local law enforcement. “Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of Minnesotans, we have asked the Minnesota National Guard to prepare to assist in keeping the peace,” Walz said in a statement. It says the mobilization was requested by the city of Minneapolis to allay public safety concerns regarding Chauvin’s release from custody. The Guard is mobilizing 100 soldiers and providing equipment and facilities needed to support public safety. It’s unclear how Chauvin afforded the noncash bond, which was backed by a New Jersey-based bail insurer. Financial information related to bond and bail postings are not public data. A bail fundraising effort on GiveSendGo, a Christian crowdfunding site, reported 37 donations totaling $4,198 as of Wednesday; its goal is $125,000. “Chauvin has excellent legal representation but it’s extremely difficult to mount a full & vigorous defense when you can only meet with your attorney once a day for only two hours,” said the fundraiser description. “As importantly, Chauvin deserves to be with his family and friends.” The fundraiser was organized by Chauvin’s family in St. Paul, according to the site. The information could not be independently verified. “I’m gonna keep saving for you, Derek!” wrote one donor who gave $5. “You will be proven innocent!! [sic]” “His release on bond is a painful reminder to George’s family that we are still far from achieving justice,” tweeted attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Floyd’s family in a federal civil rights lawsuit. https://www.startribune.com/chauvin-posts-1m-bond-walks-out-of-prison/572664812/ --- From the CBS Minneapolis TV station: Chauvin’s $1 million bond comes with conditions: he can’t leave the state without written court approval, he’s to have no contact with Floyd’s family, he must remain law abiding and make future court appearances. According to state court records, Chauvin posted a non-cash bond guaranteed by Allegheny Casualty. “He’s financially responsible for a small portion of it. They are the surety that’s on the hook if he were to violate it,” Rachel Moran, associate professor at St. Thomas School of Law, said. “He used a company out of Brainerd that appears to have gotten assurity from a bond insurance company in California. So it’s that bond insurance company in California that’s actually funding this and is on this hook if Chauvin were to somehow violate conditions of the bond.” https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/10/07/former-mpd-officer-derek-chauvin-charged-in-george-floyds-death-expected-to-post-bail-source-says/

On October 7, 2016, (four years ago today). the 2005 Access Hollywood tapes were released. On that day in 2005, Trump was arriving on the Access Hollywood bus to the Days of our Lives set, to tape a cameo for an episode. He bragged about trying to f*ck one woman, and he said stuff about what he wanted to do with another. He made remarks about his entitlement to grab women by the pu_ssy, etc etc. And it was a lot worse than what I just typed. That tape was released 10/07/2016. But Trump still won the 2016 election. Lesson: DO NOT ASSUME that Trump's current scandals will make him lose the 2020 election. Thank you to everyone who is voting, and please continue encouraging everyone you know to VOTE!

They've titled the youtube version "Covita"
