That's cool!
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hey. New board.
Yay Gossip Girl! With Kristen Bell!
That is all.

I suspect that the CW is ready to give VM:FBI a shot if Rob Thomas has anything at all decent for them. I suspect they are holding onto Kristen Bell in the meantime by hooking her up with this Gossip Girl gig (plus, she does give good voice over). So, she's still working, but she's not committed to anything (like a different new series) that would make it impossible for them to have her be VM:FBI.
I don't care. I'm still free. You can't take my hat from me.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
I've held off on mentioning this because I didn't want to appear like I couldn't see beyond the tip of my own nose but... eh: The depiction of the Irish on this show is outright racist.
So, Keith picks up some thief, sees he has a tattoo that evokes Irishness and assumes that he works with the local Irish mob. I'd assume that too if I lived in a universe where every Irish male I'd met or ever heard made reference to was a murderous thug or Catholic priest. The conflation of Irishness and violent thuggery is a point on which the writers need to stop sucking and then need to stop sucking retroactively because the Fitzpatricks have been one of the most embarrassing aspects of this show over the last two years.

The show is purposefully not politically correct when it comes to portrayal of race and ethnicity, though. The Latino characters are always stereotyped by the rich characters. The Irish are stereotyped by the Latinos. It's part of the feeling of the show. Many of the characters do have racial/ethnic prejudices (although not the good ones like Veronica and Keith). I don't think though, that Keith's assumption was supposed to be evidence of one.
Also, Irishness is now transparent in the U.S. Irish Americans are now as much a part of the status quo here as English Americans, and Americans of other white European decent. The only time Irishness is an issue here, or noticeable is when we (Irish Americans) choose to make it one for reasons of ancestral pride.
