People never learn when they put the GOP in charge. Remember how things were rocking away under GWB(except for that pesky war) and crash.

 

The worst part is consumers are being even dumber again. People didn't feel enough pain in 2008 to change their habits. Dumb,

The corruption is endless.

 

I think it's really bizarre that Washington hasn't changed their name.  Some of the announcers won't even say it on TV.  I can't say who, I've just noticed it when my husband forces me to watch that god awful game (no offense to those who like it). I just think it's crazy that as a nation we spend billions on a game that is giving people brain injury to a man.

Talking about football, I can't remember the article but I did read recently high school football enrollment is down almost 30 % across the country over the past 5 years. Parents don't want their kids playing a violent life threatening game. People can blame the national anthem protests all they want but it seems there are more and more people just not caring and staying away from it. This when interest in soccer in this country is finally showing more substantial increases.

For some strange reason, I ended up seeing tweets coming in describing the early results for the TN primaries and it looked as if the Democrats had a higher rate of participation than the Republicans last night. I don't know whether that will hold for the general election but that's a very interesting statistic for a state in the Deep South.

Watching a documentary about Trump on BBC Panorama called "Is The President a Sex Pest?" (I kid you not!) and there's a clip of J. Eddie Peck hosting the Miss Teen USA pageant.

  Looking at Peck's IMDB page, it appears that he hosted a couple of pageants in the late 1990s.

I think I've had all that I can stand, the details are stomach-turning.

    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though.
