At least in my area, "You Think You Can Dance" trumps the President's speech on health care/reform.

3. It is in Denver.
Fox 31 in Denver is showing the Fox Snooze feed of the speech.

So ... no episodes of The Simpsons this evening.

Where are their priorities?

9. Los Angeles Fox is showing it too
However, I refuse to watch Fox. So I'll watch it on CNN. Not that I like CNN that much either, but, at least they're a far cry from being like Fox.

4. Well, it stands to reason: They all act like children on FOX...
...and children aren't allowed to watch the President.

5. well, duh!
Actually, it would be difficult as it is a live performance "call-in" type of show and it's been hyped for months. At the finale for last season - just a few months ago, they received 2.6 MILLION phone calls for that one show. Since the inception of the show (5 complete seasons) they've received 3/4 of a billion phone calls.

So, I think the logistics were difficult to manage - and there would be a whole hell a lot of pissed off people.

8. The sad thing is, they probably get more votes for that.
Then again, one of those break dancing retards could probably crap out a better health care proposal.
