During the primaries I would see this panic that really never amounted to anything so I guess what's going on now doesn't faze me (exept to put me off McCain). I think that the media will burn some people out on Palin because it gets annoying to hear about the same thing over and over again and they're not actually revealing anything about her at all. It's sort of like an American Idol type obsession which wears thin.

I remember how when Obama basically sealed up the nomination, Tim Russert said he would love to be a history teacher the next day. That would have been a great day to be one but now I feel bad for any government teachers having to discuss this travesty since they can't point to a great system and the issues of the day.

Palin's people are even attacking Matt Damon for having an opinion about her being like a bad Disney movie. I suppose that next they'll attack Roger Ebert for giving her a bad review. Everybody's victimizing her but I think they are wrong in assuming that the constant woe is me is going to play well with everyone.

I think at some point it is fair to make the statement that if she is offended by comments like these, then she isn't up to the job that she is applying for. There really is an expectation that she be accountable to the public and not just stand up, say a few words and then go hide.

Thanks for the link, Jess. Very interesting.

:D:D:D

Good points. I did see that about Matt Damon. It's very clear now that they will pounce on every little thing as long as it gives them a good sound bite.

And for a woman who is supposed to be so "tough", she sure does cry a lot. Now they're saying that they are going to keep her campaigning with McCain for a few more weeks. They are probably wanting larger crowds for McCain and they know he would never get them without the pit bull by his side.

And the tv media is playing right into their hands. Example: McCain is up in Missouri by 5 points. He has a solid lead. Obama is leading by 5 points in Penn., and he is barely holding on. Plus, it's a close race.

The MSM kill me. Instead of talking about 9/11, they have spent their time today bringing up SP's name every chance they get, and saying the Obama campaign is back on their heals with no way to respond.

You know.....THAT BS.

GMAFB. That really just pisses me the [!@#$%^&*] off. Hopefully the American voter is going to get tired of all this PalinLove and see right through her. Like what was said earlier - she can't just keep running out, speaking a few words and then go ducking for cover.

Why is the MSM treating her with kid gloves? Because she's a woman???

I think it is the case of the MSM being scared to be once again accused of sexism. If they say anything about her, people will blast them.

It is what they report and how they report it. That Hocky Mom crap and all the personal stuff, that has nothing to do with her record, is the crap they are focusing on.

The ones doing the real reporting are getting the job done. The others? Screw 'em.

Are you telling me that because Palin has stolen the "I am new, I am fresh" mantle from Obama, that now she DESERVES to be attacked unfairly?

LOL

Oh Obama fever has cooled down, so now what are his disciples doing!

The DEMS made a big mistake not nominating Clinton...she could have won this race easily!

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
