No. I was sick last week and I'm still coughing up a storm. I tried to get a COVID test but the phone lines were jammed. I'm on the mend but I don't want to stand in line until the cough goes away. I'm thinking of taking the day off on Friday and showing up at the BOE first thing.

I want someone to ask this clown crowd of doctors - can you tell me what percentage of Americans actually have access to this type of treatment?  The drugs, the care, etc.  How many.  What percentage because he just tweeted not to be afraid of COVID, that all the drugs and treatments are available.  So tell me please, is this virus dangerous or should we listen to the President - that it's nothing to be afraid of.  Go.  

 

And I would badger and say, "Great - now say something meaningful".

This has also made the debate and the tax stories go into the rearview mirror, and they will continue to speed toward ACB's confirmation along with trying to hype Pence in the debate. They will set the terms, and the media will follow. And we will hear, over and over, how strong Trump is and how anyone who questions or wants to pause is weak and doesn't want America to be strong. 

 

I am just hoping enough voters will not buy this and that the media has lost enough trust with people to where they will tune the talking points out.

My cousin didn't have access to these treatments. We lost him and almost lost his sister. It has been in poor taste these tweets that have been put out. I wish my cousins had gotten these special miracle treatments.

I'm really sorry about your family.  This infuriates me - and his supporters will eat this up.  Like we know - no one has access to this treatment.  And he makes it sound like it's just normal.  And if Joe turns down a live debate (and I sure would) - he'll just gloat and say he's beaten COVID and Joe hasn't.

    • First, let me say I love reading all of your takes and thoughts. They always provide a different point of view... a breath of fresh air... in this sometimes stuffy topic.

      You've inspired me to add my 2 cents about this product placement debacle.  I absolutely HATE the way they are doing product placement in BTG. I really hope this doesn't catch on or evolve into more and more of these moments. It's incredibly off-putting to place them in a highly dramatic moment where we are still on the emotional journey with the character. What is next - Dani spraying the house while having a nervous breakdown? It makes me not want to buy the product they're selling. LOL. That's just me.   
    • I always get the vibe that Martin/Smitty have an emotional abusive relationship set up... but I doubt the show will really go there with that element given that Martin is a Dupree (and we can't have the Duprees be portrayed in a negative light), and because it's a gay male relationship.   Even though abuse in the physical or emotional sense is a huge thing in a lot of gay and lesbian relationships. The Ashley/Naomi scene reads off to me for one reason....  Ashley was talking about the new scandal without any sort of mention and/or subtext.. considering she knew both Silk Press Sheila and Eva.  I'm not sure if the writers have forgotten, if Jen Jacobs isn't able to play subtext, or what.   It's just apparent the writers do not know how to write a young white millennial couple.. and perhaps they need to get a younger white script writer to be on staff... or let the actors play around with the lines to make them more natural/realistic.
    • This is as good a time as any to point out that the 90 minute show was, what I like to call  "cockamamie idea" of Fred Silverman, head of NBC Daytime Programming. He did so well at ABC & CBS but not so NBC. We learned this from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay, 2006, can be found on YouTube, audio only. Now, to be clear, Rauch was completely behind it. Only Lemay fought against it & eventually quit over it.   
    • She was so wonderful. Glad your handle has been a tribute to her.
    • Hopefully Alan has learned to not interrupt or interject with pointless information while someone is in the middle of telling a story. I almost think it would be better if Alan was a producer behind the scenes.. and he just had the actors on screen talking and asking one another questions.  Those interviews tend to work better.
    • It was only recently announced that Denise Alexander passed away on March 5, 2025. She was my all time favorite actress and role model. She will be dearly missed.  Denise Alexander, ‘General Hospital' and ‘Days of Our Lives' Actress, Dies at 85
    • Hopefully Alan will actually read the book beforehand.

    • Am I the only one who immediately thinks of this every time someone mentions Smitty?
