I was so looking forward to GL today after the previews showed the outburst in court with the kid who was driving when Gus was killed when during the second half of GL that pain in the ass president came on for a special report.I was so pissed off because the one time that GL gets exciting in a long time and that damm idiot has to give a speech.It was better years ago when presidents gave their speeches at night.

There's been a lot of interruptions lately.First they interrupted for the pope,then it was that stupid Sean Bell case and now that clown from the white house.You can't even enjoy tv anymore.Boy,it was so much better years ago.The world was a better place.This day and age sucks.The world was a safer place years ago.

Thanx for the warning, I usually tape it and watch it at 5:00 now I will watch it at 3:00 instead and tape the other show I watch.  I got a good laugh out of your comments.  I don't know why they interrupt the shows for a lot of stuff.  I guess for once, this was of interest to the majority.

I was just starting to lurk back on this site and I had to notice your post.  I have been watching cbs soaps for many years, more then I care to say and I have noticed that the soaps have been interrupted for almost as many of those years.  My favorite was good old Dan Rather who would interrupt something as earth shattering as our 'stories' and then after the news was done, begin to expound on that story for an hour or more.  Today the president, or 'clown' as you call him actually talked about something that is actually interesting-why the heck oil is so darned high, a story that should interest even you.   Also, our former 'clown' president, Billy Bob, used to interrupt the soaps practically every week.  I actually think that THAT is when soaps started getting bumped for nothing stories.

  • Oh yeah, I forgot to mention your calling Bush the 'devil' for daring to speak about something so important as oil prices during your soap was silly. I am not a Bush lover, don't like him at all as a matter of fact, but missing a bit of GL to talk of oil which is becoming a scary topic should NOT label somebody as the devil. (rainydays)
  • Fevuh) I had to laugh...we used to call him 'Dam Blather' on the boards. And his friend 'Slob Schieffer'. I remember one report in particular where Dam interrupted, and went to Slob who was outside of the Capitol here in DC. And Slob's commentary was that 'Congress is inside, right now, casting their votes (for whatever it was). A 'yes' vote means that 'yes' (blah), and a 'no' vote would mean that they don't support (blah bill). They're literally casting their votes one by one, right now. Back to you Dan.' I remember that being the last straw for me. Wow. You don't SAY? A YES vote means YES? REALLY? Well I'll be God Dam*ed. LOL. And a NO vote means NO?? Well shi* a brick, I never would have suspected. Thank GOD we got the low down on all of that. eom
  • Fevuh-Good old Dan used to make me crazy. He really thought we wanted to hear him go on and on and on... Yikes, do I not miss him! (rainydays)
  • TA about Dan! SHUT UP!!! I yelled at him every time. While oil is important, I REALLY think it can wait until night; a few hours probably didn't hurt a thing! Also, if you REALLY think oil is important it would behoove you to check out for yourself the real reasons that it has gone up, and not listen to political doublespeak hooey! he could have actually told the truth this time, don't know. But you STILL need to find out for yourselves, and not count on people with agendas to give you your information. That is a very dangerous way to live! fee
