Toups

It's so obvious the American gov't is run by big companies, whether they are big oil companies or big pharmaceutical companies - they do whatever they can do get more money into these businesses. If they think they're going to lose money, they will spend more money on scare tactics. I really hate scare tactics....and some people actually buy into it. That's brutal. So what's the big issue about the health care bill? Can't people just think, like I do (LOL): "Okay, so I'll pay a little more in taxes that will help others in need of health care. But when I get sick or injured, that money eventually comes back to help me out." When I go see a doctor I just show my health care card and I don't pay anything out of my pocket right away. How is it possible that other countries are able to survive with universal health care.....but America can't? Come on. Universal health care needs to start somewhere and it's not going to be perfect, but you can slowly fix that. Just get it done now. Whenever I hear horror stories from Americans, I just shake my head.

I don't know much about politics but Massachusetts should be ashamed of themselves. Massachusetts is suppose to be a liberal state, WTF happened? Way to go Massachusetts! I also don't know much about the American Health Care, but as a Canadian, it boggles my mind how a lot of people don't want universal health care. And now with Brown willing Mass. there's a good chance the health care bill won't get passed? That's horrible. When it comes to health care, I'm so glad I'm in Canada. I never want to get seriously injured in the States. If I'm in the US and I get hurt and it's not life threatening, someone's going to drive me back to Canada! I'll rather be in pain for a couple of hours than have to pay thousands of dollars in medicals bills. I just can't believe people can't get medical help because they can't pay for it. What kind of a world is that?

Thank God!!! Lucy's tenure was soooooo boring. Hope this new guy makes the show more exciting. Since UK soaps are always planned so far in advance, I'm going to assume Lucy's stuff will last air around May or June? That's so far away.

I use The Box too.

What are some examples of "epic pop"?

Finally caught up on all the episodos, and yeah, the show is pretty bad/boring. There's nothing exciting about the show at all. About the flashforward, it's a who killed Calvin story?? Calvin? I find it hard to believe half the town will start to hate him enough to kill him! The show needs to hire better looking girls/women, there's not enough of them. Lucy Allen sucks.

Really? I love "3" but it's not even in my top 10 Britney songs. We're both Britney fans but we have different tastes when it comes to her. LOL

I thought Circus was one of her best albums. It was a vast improvement over Blackout. 1.5 years isn't too bad. That's the title? Don't like it.

Way cool! I hope it's mostly from pre-1997. I'm not a big fan of Brent Nelson and Ken Corday's 1997-Present crap.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up.

Oh cool, Bryan Kirkwood is the new EP??! Sweet! I will definitely tune in to see what he does with EE. I guess I should start watching now in anticipation of BK's arrival. Santer is stepping down in February, and I'm assuming that's off screen.....so when will Santer's material end/BK's material start?

After this past Thursday's episode, I have to declare my love for Dr. Arizona Robbins! I started really liking her after episode 6.5 during the scene with Callie's father: "Most people think that I was named for the state but it's not true. I was named for a battleship -- the USS Arizona. My grandfather was serving on the Arizona when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and he saved 19 men before he drowned. Pretty much everthing my father did his whole life was about honoring that sacrifice. I was raised to be a good man in a storm. Raised to love my country, love my family and protect the things I love. When my father, Colonel Daniel Robbins of the United States Marine Corps, heard that I was lesbian, he said he only had one question. I was prepared for, "How fast can you get the hell out of my house?" but instead it was, "Are you still who I raised you to be?" My father believes in country the way you believe in God. And my father is not a man who bends, but he bent for me because I'm his daughter. I'm a good man in a storm. I love your daugther, and I protect the things I love. Not that I need to. She doesn't need it. She's strong and caring and honorable. And she's who you raised her to be." Now in episode 6.8 when she takes over the mother saying and doing the hand movements, "Bad dreams bad dreams go away good dreams good dreams here to stay," that's the moment where I fell in love with this character. And then she tops it off by saying, "I love you," to Callie at the end of the episode. What a fantastic Arizona episode!

OMG! I just finished watching Hollyoaks Later (I'm so behind, I still haven't watch the October episodes of Hollyoaks yet). Sarah's death! That was stunning to watch, especially the scene where Lydia and Zoe start running to Sarah....the cinematography and directing was just amazing. I figured Lydia was going to set up Zoe but her committing suicide (or trying to if she's not dead) in the shower was also shocking. I just love watching deaths of British soaps, they usually go all out and the location shoots really help. Death on American soaps are so lackluster. Yeah, this story was really dark. Emma and Andrew Moss totally rocked this story. I hope we'll see these characters (except Blue) on the regular show. They could spice up the show. I liked the humour on this story. The Bonnie Tyler "Holding Out For a Hero" dream sequence was hilarious! This story was also funny. Emma is the Snow White costume and the 7 Dwarfs music.......naked Tony with the pigs. I hope the show doesn't wait until the next (if there's one) to amp things up, because the past few months of the show was pretty boring.

I like your optimism!

That is so disappointing!

Awesome! Love the beats. Max Martin continues to rock in his collaborations with Brit. I hope there's gonna be a video for this song and if there is, I hope there's some lesbian action.

I like that cue too. Where does Mark Teschnner find these kids? That little girl playing Molly is really good.

Here's the long (full?) version of Victor's theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC7QtraMtVw Ohh....just found Victor's theme (except it wasn't used for a Victor scene) without any dialogue! And just one more of Victor's theme showcasing the great Victor Newman (loved his line to Diane )

Yikes! You could see JM's ribs. ] Carly has a great body!

Nice! I wanted Beth to win.

Aw damn. Another actress I like. I hope so too.

LOL I agree. Based on that photo, I want Beth Kingston. She looks the hottest.

I'll pass on her. I'm going to miss her too.

WTH! Another hottie is leaving? Damn. Lucy Allan better start hiring more hotties to replace all the ones that left.

Oh no! What were you thinking, Jodi! I hope she gets help.
