Spoiler alert: Obama won. By a lot. And I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I still love McCain for being a dork, though. I just wanted to have a clever title for this blog post. =)

Short story, thou hast been conquered!! I'm super excited. It's even under the limit! And I no longer hate it so much! Hopefully everyone else likes it... =/

OK. Now I was going to write about this earlier, but then I decided I didn't want to have 2 posts in one day. But EW.com reported that Grey's fired Brooke Smith because the network didn't like her gay character.

WTF?

They're the ones who wrote that character. They shouldn't blame the actress if her character or her storyline ended up being so controversial. This is the most homophobic bullshit I've ever heard in my life. Now, I know I'm supposed to be anti-gay because I'm Catholic, but I honestly don't care. (Don't tell my mom.) I honestly didn't think Erica and Callie had all that much chemistry beyond the BFFL thing they did for the first half of last season, and the way Callie was constantly freaked out by her bi-ness was annoying, so I won't be sad to see the storyline go. And to be honest, I didn't like Erica much as a character either (though Brooke Smith is a very talented actress and seems like a nice person). It's more the principle of the thing to me: that an actress was fired for portraying a gay character, one they asked her to portray. This latest shenanigans is just more confirmation that Grey's is a slave to its own popularity. Storylines and continuity and... integrity be damned.

In short, I think I really am done with the show forever now.
