Three infuriating things, in descending order

1. What the Department of Health and Human Services is trying to do regarding contraceptives. I can't even think about it without having a near-stroke. Please read this, and then contact your elected officials. Because this is some serious bullshit.

2. This debacle with William Sanders. Wow. What an asshat.

3. Once again, The Wire is not Read more... )

And "Mad Men?" I heard good things about it and watched about five or six episodes and then stopped because it's not very good. It looks great but there's nothing to it.

I can't really say about Mad Men since I haven't seen it; though quite a few people on my flist love it.

RE Emmys: nothing but a few behind-the-scene type noms for BSG too. I should not even go there about lack of respect for quality TV that happens to be sf because it just makes me angry. But about The Wire? I don't get it *at all*. Another reason why I pay little attention to awards (Emmys, Oscars, etc). That and I'd rather watch Barney than an awards show. ;)

Nine rolls his eyes at Emmy shenanigans.

Yes, that is the WORST. I also hate the "it's not scifi, it's good!" bullshit that often gets tossed around. GYARGH.

I am rolling my eyes with Nine.

Unfortunately there isn't. Our current government hardly seems to listen to us, let alone people who aren't American. Sigh.

I was just ranting a bit about The Wire's overlook, two! One writing nom, for Simon&Burns. BAH.

I even made a new icon to express my discontent.

ONE nomination in five years, right? Maybe two. WOO. Way to go, Emmys!

Good icon. *g*
