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.

CW Source's blog from the upfronts
Thanks for that link, Sumi!
And from that link, it's official: No VM in the CW Upfronts.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I saw CW's list of new shows. It is of ASS. They need to put VM's new FBI show on the schedule post-haste.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Topic!Cindy, I don't know much of anything, but I think your theory may be spot on. See also: FOX putting Fillion on a talent holding deal before Drive got picked up officially, Universal putting Fillion on a talent holding deal before Serenity got picked up officially.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
12:28 First question, asked by me: "Is Veronica dead?"
12;29 OK, here it is in a nutshell, per dawn ostroff. Veronica Mars is dead. But, and there is a but, she says she's "talking to Rob and Kristen" about doing something else. She's not calling it a spin-off, and wouldn't say whether it would feature the character of Veronica. Translation; I'm as confused as ever!
12:33 I will try and get more clarification on this. Please stand by...
12:36 OK, a reporter just asked a VM follow-up — and Dawn continues to dodge. She says they're discussing "an idea," but adds, "I don't think it's going to happen."
12;47 The press conference is over. I tackle dawn just as she tries to escape and I ask her to level with me. Is Veronica dead? "Veronica Mars is over, but we're talking about something else. I don't know if it's going to be anything. I'm being honest with you. It could come back in some form, but I don't know what form that would be." She confirmed that the deadline to make a decision is "somewhere around" the June 15 date i referred to previously. Long story short: mystery still not solved!
12:53 Heading back to the office to bang my head against the wall.
Why the hell is she acting like no one knows about the FBI thing? JUST SAY SOMETHING.
