State of the Something

[fictional]

I didn't hear it. I only read it. But that was quite bad enough, thank you. As far as I can tell, it just takes this already decimated (in the colloquial sense of "destroyed & mutilated") country even further down the path to total fuckery. The health insurance thing is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard of, as far as I can tell, and just fucks the already fucked Medicare/Medicaid thing even more than it already was, which I didn't think was possible, honestly. I really thought the speech would tone down on the Iraq stuff, but the new troops etc., the Civilian Army Reserve etc., just indicate to me how very much this administration is banging, with axes, on the deck of an already sinking ship. The Democratic rebuttal was as much as you could expect, I suppose, from these weak-assed centrist Democrats. I want to say it's better than nothing, but I'm not sure I believe it. However, end times seem ever nigh; after the 2.5 seconds the speech spent on global warming, I wanted to ask these assholes if they've been outside recently? Those cherry blossoms aren't supposed to bloom in January, Mr. President. You know that, right? Right??

Sigh. Instead of watching this on TV, I watched my long awaited Veronica Mars: Back from Hiatus. And...


I miss you, show. Where did you go? Token...I mean, Wallace? Where are you??? Logan? Please a) reattach your balls b) have a storyline of your own that does not involve being ball-less c) come back and don't ever leave me again. I still love you. That goes for all y'all actually, now that I think about it. But what was this episode even about? Vegans? PETA? Ooo-kay. Veronica, that was the clumsiest detecting I've ever seen, except maybe that stuff you were pulling, Keith, you idiot. STOP WOUNDING ME WITH THESE CRAZY POD PEOPLE. Mac, you still rock. We missed you.

Also, Dear Kristin Bell: I know you are an extremely talented actress. I'm sorry you don't think that Veronica should be in love with Logan. However, you are in the minority - Rob thinks so, the other writers think so, Logan thinks so, VERONICA thinks so, and most importantly, I think so. Please stop playing it otherwise. I find it terribly confusing. Thank you.

GAH. This is terrible. I'm still so in love with this show, but it's starting to remind me of Buffy Season Six - and we all know what came after that. Yep, you got it. Buffy Season 7. Don't do it, Rob Thomas! Come back to us!!!!

Oh well. I shouldn't complain, I suppose. I've a surfeit of excellent TV going on right now - Heroes, Supernatural. I'm still waiting to catch up on Friday Night Lights. I'm finally watching Dexter, which I completely adore. Rome awaits. But I love you, Veronica Mars. And I really miss you, and 3x09 was so great, and Logan, with the CAR! and the BAT! and just *swoon*. [Whatever happened with that? Weren't you in, like, jail? Don't the Sheriff's Dept kind of have it in for you? Didn't you just assault a police officer's car, and torture a couple of dudes in a prison cell?Continuity? Where are you? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?] Don't go away yet, VM. You've still got life in you! It's too soon!
