Breaking news on the Fox News website..

I don't believe the President would pre-empt regular programming for just a pep talk. There has to be something newsworthy in this. Or he'll pay dearly with the networks down the road.

[Baghdad Living]

Literal as can be. Its getting dark though, so I have to run to the house soon. The missiles and mortars start at sunset lol.

[NordP]

"...Right now, the only folks watching TV are soap opera junkies and welfare cases."

Don't forget about us out-of-their-home American entrepreneurs, that appreciate our fine President!

alright alright. I'll amend the statement. The only ones watching the tube right now are soap opera junkies, welfare cases AND these folks:

[traumer]

He may announce a coordinated pullout from Iraq...

[jwalburg]

Another freeper mentioned that negotiations are under way to take a "high value" target alive. Could be related.

Bin Laden, perhaps?

[Baghdad Living]

No way. My contract is not up yet!!

[txrangerette]

I know of no pre-emption of usual
programs, do you?

FNC does breaking news alerts when the sun rises.

This speech is very necessary and will be unheard or unseen by about 90% of the country because of when it's given, making it a colossal stupidity.

[Miss Marple]

Doon't you think that you should wait to hear the speech before you decide who the target audience is? Perhaps the target audience is overseas, in which case this is a good time.

Right now, the only folks watching TV are soap opera junkies and welfare cases.

Sorry to say you are wrong on that one. I own two businesses, run both out of my office here, but always, ALWAYS do I have FoxNews on the TV.

[Molly Pitcher]

Timely bump!

That's a good point. And if something really major did happen in Afghanistan with a capture then it would be wise to incorporate it into this speech.

[Molly Pitcher]

My memory is that the war got underway about this time of day, 1 year ago....at least the part we knew about.:-)

[MissAmericanPie]

I suspect they have Ben Ladin.

[DouglasKC]

I suspect they have Ben Ladin.

We'll know in 10 minutes... :-)

[KantianBurke]

There's a BIG difference between having the TV on in the background while you multitask at work and those who are "watching" TV at this time of the day.

[SendShaqtoIraq]

And many schools are on spring break.

[RushLake]

I happen to take exception to that. I'm neither a soap opera junkie or a welfare case. I am retired, I had a job because I didn't want to be a welfare case. By the way, the junkie welfare cases are probably still sleeping it off at this time and won't be up for hours. They get to do that because productive people like you and me get our money redistributed thru the "progressive" tax system as I'm sure you know in order to supplement their underground economy earnings. Besides, I'm far too good looking to be a welfare case, I should be starring in a soap opera as the studly male lead.
