In the ultimate battle between our real and fantasy lives, Lost's
final season premiere may be bumped by President Barack Obama's State
of the Union address.

The White House is currently considering either Jan. 26 or Feb. 2 —
the night of the premiere — for the State of the Union speech, The
Wrap reports. Lost fans aren't exactly the most patient bunch, and a
Twitter hash tag has already been started to protest the possible
scheduling conflict, #NoStateofUnionFeb2.

The Obama administration hasn't decided on Feb. 2, the site reports.
However, if officials do choose to take that major piece of primetime
real estate, Lost may have to move its premiere until the following
Tuesday, Feb. 9.

Of course, there's no pleasing everyone: The Jan. 26 date would
interrupt an all-new episode of American Idol. The White House refused
to comment on the scheduling matter.

And the premier of American Idol getting bumped instead?
I don't think so!

That rat bastard. This is why I don't vote: those fucking politicians
are always screwing with our lives and the things in which we take
pleasure. I wish they would all crawl back to whatever country they
came from and just die in a gutter.

I'm guessing "Lost" is on too tight a schedule to be preempted for a
week. It'd air on Wednesday or Thursday.

This will probably happen. Obama only wants to be on primetime during
sweeps. He is surely the most media focused president we've ever had.

Not every cable channel. I watched a "Three's Company" marathon on
Nick that night. It was a nice temporary escape after being stuck in
Manhattan most of the day.

It's pretty clear what they must do then: give the speech on Jan. 26.
The four options are:

1. Give the speech on Feb. 2. But that fucks up Lost, which is bad.
2. Give the speech on Jan. 26. That fucks up Idol, which is good.
3. Give the speech on some other date.
4. Don't give the stupid speech at all.

But we all know that 4 will never happen and 3 and 4 have the fatal flaw
that they won't fuck up Idol.

Yes, I know. Obama is dithering about whether to pre-empt Lost or American
Idol.
