Obama Moves State of the Union to Appease "Lost" Fans

I really love that headline, because it's not me being clever - it's true.

If you follow Presidential speech schedules, then you'll know that the next state of the Union address was supposed to be on February 2. And if you follow "Lost" (which, if you're reading this blog, you probably do), then you'll know that February 2 is the long-awaited return of everyone's favorite Island saga since the days of Gilligan. But luckily, Obama will be avoiding the wrath of "Lost" fans by rescheduling his address.

As the Washington Post reported:

The president of the United States apparently feels he needs the "Lost" voting bloc and therefore will not schedule his State of the Union address the same night that ABC had planned to air the two-hour season debut of the second-most-convoluted drama series in the history of TV. 

[...]"Lost" fanatics had their undies in a bunch Wednesday over news that the White House might push back the president's SOTU address to Feb. 2 to enable Obama to use a freshly signed health-care reform law as an audiovisual aid.

Yes, the Post said "undies in a bunch" - where are Woodward and Bernstein when we need them?

Now's a good time to remind you that I've made some wild predictions about season 6 based solely on the episode titles. Check it out, leave your comments and predict your own storylines. Nothing's too crazy...someone has to be right!

[What War Zone???]

Reminds me of Hillel being afraid to schedule anything on Thursday nights in college. Anyone who remembers the 1990s doesn't even need any more details than that.

I remember that night was a nice gesture of the president, we could see our series and the day he was going to be the president we could do with all concentration!
