Keith Olbermann on Proposition 8

13 Nov

I’m probably the last person out there watching this video for the first time, but it was just so good that I had to post it – if you haven’t watched this message from Keith Olbermann about Proposition 8 yet, I encourage you to find the time to do so now (it’s about 6 1/2 minutes long, so make sure you’ve got that long to sit and listen – it’s worth it). Really, I’m mostly just posting this to have it here on record for future reference, but again if you haven’t seen it yet – watch it now!

Dear ABC / TV Gods: You Are Giving Me An Aneurysm

13 Nov

aneurysm (ny-rzm)

A localized, blood-filled dilation of a blood vessel or cardiac chamber caused by disease, such as arteriosclerosis, or weakening of the vessel or chamber wall. A ruptured aneurysm results in hemorrhage and is often fatal.
In case of medical trauma, please send Grey’s Anatomy’s McDreamy or McSteamy and you know, a cardiac doc, too – not sure WHO that is anymore thanks to ABC and their need to F with me.
Seriously? ABC? First you go all anti-gay supposedly and I was just about to let you off the hook since Mark from Ugly Betty is maybe marrying his boyfriend and really after last week’s Grey’s, I’ll consent that it was time for Erica Hahn to leave. I can give you the benefit of the doubt for this. Because let’s face it, getting rid of Burke or even Denny (especially Denny) was far more traumatic, at least for me. I mourned that shit, whereas to Hahn I say, “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out…” But now that you’ve gotten rid of all of your Cardiac Surgeons, was this really the best time for causing me aortic trauma?
Ladies and gentlemen of the Blogland Press, I present to you the photographic evidence of the wrongdoings committed by ABC, Grey’s Anatomy and TV Guide to yours truly.
Example A:
Example B:
So TV Gods, I’m begging you – tell me what’s up? Why would you do this to me? Do you mean to cause me pain? Is this a not-so-subtle hint that you don’t want me watching anymore? That perhaps I need to find something more important to obsess about, like my family? Are you kidding? Seriously? Is it because I am supportive of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, trans-genders and one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eaters?
Am I the only person who has noticed this? Is it only being afflicted to my tv area? I checked the other cable listing for what Verizon Fios is showing and they too seem to think football is more important than me meeting Mer’s old best friend who isn’t Christina and witnessing the less-than-welcoming welcome that she is given by all of Mer’s current friends. That’s just absurd, ABC. Nobody cares about your little football game. At least ABC’s website doesn’t seem to. They seem to think there is a new episode of Grey’s Anatomy on tonight.
Maybe the new episode is SO special that it’s by invitation only and much like every high school party ever held, I wasn’t invited? Is that it? Well for once, popular people, I gotta say, I’d like to be invited – I want to be a cool kid – I WANT MY GREY’S ANATOMY FIX!!!!!! Don’t make me the only person in the entire world who didn’t see this episode. Don’t force me to wake up tomorrow clueless while the rest of the universe is all “Seriously? SERIOUSLY?” and I’m like, “Seriously, what?” and nobody will tell me because it’s all AB information and I have to C my way out of it – screw you ABC. Screw you HARD.
