Fans Rejoice: “LOST defeated the State of the Union today!

ABC News’ Jake Tapper and Karen Travers report:

Fans of ABC’s “Lost” can breathe a sigh of relief.

The millions of viewers eagerly waiting to see what happened to Juliet, Jack, and the Swan station at the end of last season’s cliff-hanger no longer have to worry that the answers to their questions will be delayed because of President Obama’s first State of the Union address.

President Obama will not pre-empt the premiere of the show’s final season, set to air on Tuesday Feb. 2, the White House said today.

Asked by ABC News’ Ann Compton if the president was aware of the recent Internet kerfuffle over the potential scheduling conflict, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs indicated today that Feb. 2 is safe.

You would be suprised how many Obama haters I heard attack him for "pre-empting" the Charlie Brown Christmas special!
 
obama talks to much on tv. I really have no use for it unless hes giving us details about the top secret health care plan.

You can expect a visit from the men in black for daring to mention the double secret probationary health care agenda. You are beneath the class of citizen that is entitled to know anything about this bill. Bend over, grab your ankles and take it... you filthy 'I want to know' swine.

I suggest you get on board with my plan which is 10 more years of paying the man.. then i join the man. Either become a member of the lower class in disguise aka own house outright and have plenty of savings but take a low paying easy job for spending money; or i will get a govt job.

Well now, what the Prez has to say may be important. However, I've been waiting since last MAY to find out what happened to everyone on the island when that bomb went off!!

Get your priorities straight America...what happened to Jack and Kate?

While I understand the peace of mind that comes with paying off a home, I just refinanced at 4.8% for a 30 fixed last month. I in turn took the equity money and invested in a non-traded REIT that is paying 7%. While that rate is not guaranteed by any means, given the steals they are getting on current purchases from distressed sellers, I am not too concerned with the interest declining. Plus I have the cap appreciation potential of the properties. As long as I can confidently return more than that 4.8%, I shall not pay it off faster than needed.

I stopped watching that show when it went from absurdity right into a shift to ludicrous speed.

It's a science fiction show...if you were looking for a show grounded in reality, stick with Law & Order.

Me, I like not having all the answers every once in a while.

Suspension of disbelief, my friend.

It's all about suspension of disbelief.

I've been hooked since day one and although it occasionally goes a little cuckoo, I am onboard for the whole ride.

While I did stop watching the show, my real intent was to throw out a Spaceballs reference as I watched it again this weekend and it cracked me up.

im going in opposite direction. im closing on a 10year loan tomorrow afternoon at 4.25% with 2K lender credit towards closing costs so out of pocket cost to me is $500 bucks. My intention at this point is to un-shackle myself of fixed costs as quickly as possible. Your method makes logical sense but I threw logic out the window when I invested 25% of my money for the first 7years of my career into DC plans and have nothing to show for it now. I could be paid off living in a 500k home on capecod working part time for spending money right now.

I can also understand that line of reasoning. Which is why I did not put the equity into the market, but rather non-traded REITs. That could still blow up on me, but my level of certainty is far higher there than with where the equity markets might go.

As you are aware... it just comes down to risk/reward preferences. You are taking a more conservative rout and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. I in turn risk potential security for the greater profit potential.

I im fairly risky in my investment choices always been. I didnt cash anything out.. still have 6figures saves in DC plans.. im just only doing 6% now and instead putting more into my equity. First i paid and closed all cc's and cars. now im paying off house. hate having the ball an chain of fixed payments around my neck. Maybe its corporate burnout at age 35.
