is there a presidential news conference newly scheduled for tonight at 8:30 Eastern?
Yes. In which the president will blame high gas prices on radical environmentalists.
Or so I've heard.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yep. I'll be tuning in to watch the national media roll over and bark whenever Bush tells them to.

Well, the press conference is certainly not going to be reality tv.

Hmph. Well. That will most likely delay CSI, huh? Which means I can stay at work a little longer and oh GOD I can't believe I just typed that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
shrift, I read somewhere that tonight is gearing up for sweeps, and networks weren't sure if they were going to air the conference.
No idea where I ... right ... IMDB:
President Bush's decision to hold a news conference at 8:30 p.m. tonight (Thursday) throws a monkey wrench into the networks' machinery as they gear up for the first night of the May sweeps. The news conference would come: halfway through the scheduled one-hour edition of CBS's Survivor: Palau and would likely run into CSI: Crime Scene Investigation; during NBC's Will & Grace, which was to have featured guest appearances by Alan Arkin, Debbie Reynolds and Lee Majors -- and probably into The Apprentice at 9:00 p.m.; after the first half hour of ABC's movie, Sweet Home Alabama; and halfway through Fox's The O.C. By midmorning today, only Fox had committed to airing the news conference live.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I think we'll see Dom and Orly cavorting in bed during primetime before we see a sixth season of Angel
Wow. As warmup acts go, that would definitely get the viewers tuning in.
Sigh. No go then - damn. That's what I figured, but since I'd never heard anything about it, and she seemed so sure... ah well.
Ma'alesh.

Well, someone else has to give their son the middle name Marcus, then.
Isaac James Isaac James Isaac James ... how in love am I with that double "a"? You just don't get that so much these days.

Well, there is Aaron, although my only problem with that name is that it's hard to distinguish between "Aaron" and "Erin". But that's just me.
