A shaken nation is soothed; 'Lost' won't be pre-empted

The first episode of the final season of "Lost" will spew forth new layers of confusion and complexity (It was all a dream!) right on time after all, with the White House seeking to calm a jittery nation by announcing that the president will not interrupt the long-awaited episode by giving some sort of national address the same night.
Fear ran rampant when it was announced that President Barack Obama wanted to push back the annual State of the Union address — typically held in late January — to February 2, which as everyone knows is the season premiere of "Lost."
Impeachment papers were readied.
But White House press secretary Robert Gibbs assured viewers Friday that he "doesn't foresee a scenario in which millions of people that hope to finally get some conclusion in 'Lost' are pre-empted by the president."
The "Lost" news came in response to a question from ABC correspondent Ann Compton at the afternoon press briefing.
The time slot for "Lost" may be secured, but still no word on what day the president will deliver the State of the Union. Super Bowl Sunday, perhaps?
