yeah, probably, although there is a more direct avatar(balding redhead, etc.) in some of the larger newsroom scenes. But, in terms of sympathies/identification, our hearts should belong with Perfect!Editor Clark Johnson. Whom I really do like, despite his being so perfect he makes Lou Grant look like a crass materialist. Sorry...it's my jam, but season 5 is, like, crazy non-subtle.ETA: There are some great moments in the end. Sean, I would agree that Prez benefits from white privilege and from his dick FIL's high rank in BPD, but that was my point, I don't think that's the same as being loaded with racial animus.(Although he also pays, probably, for having Valchek as a FIL. But since this isn't Hill Street we don't see that.)
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yay, Hil!!! Thank heavens they got it fixed quickly.
I have to do this here, because I can't do it on fb: @@ ffs please balance your idealism with some small measure of pragmatism, why doncha.
Good god, I'm exhausted and just want to eat chocolate and go to bed. Instead I'll eat some salad, maybe make hot cocoa, and be an adult. Don't wanna.
eta to keep my whinging to one post - my itunes apparently *hates* me tonight. I am not in the mood for Cesaria Evora, or the fucking Amelie soundtrack, or crappy hip hop I downloaded because it was the free track of the week. Major shuffle fail.

Agreed.

Tonight he got out, made his footprints, looked at them for a moment, shouted "Tummy-print!" and belly-flopped his naked self onto the bathmat.
