Man, I do not get the people who were not absolutely thrilled by this fourth season of Arrested Development Netflix gave us. I mean, it’s more of the one of the greatest sitcoms ever, and if it wasn’t exactly what you wanted, it seems a bit like looking a gift horse in the mouth.

But SarahK and I absolutely loved it. Maybe part of it was expectations. I knew they were having trouble getting all the cast together — they all have other shows and projects now — and that the original idea was ten episodes, each one focusing on one character and catching us up with him or her before they do an Arrested Development movie. So I was looking at these episodes as like a little bonus — more like a DVD extra. So I was delighted to find out it was in fact a full season (in fact, much bigger than their third season). Yes, the main characters aren’t all together very much, but we still got so much of the humor we loved in the series in the first place. And the way the episodes run in parallel and unfolds like layers was brilliant; I’m really looking forward to a second viewing as I assume there are a bunch of jokes you won’t get until you’ve finished the season and now know the story behind everything.

And some people seem upset about how it ends, but the ideas is this is one act of three with either a movie or more Netflix seasons being acts two and three. Man, that better happen. Long live the Bluth family.

Oh, and now word is Dan Harmon is returning to Community. Great comedies are resurrecting everywhere. Now we just need some Firefly news…

But if I don’t have a happy birthday, I will blame it on those who didn’t wish it so and my vengeance will be unstoppable.

Anyway, get yourself a present for my birthday and buy my books.

Know what I love about our massive government? When something goes wrong, it’s so easy to find out who was behind it.

But seriously, everyone in the IRS seems to be refusing to answer where the orders to target the Tea Party came from. Well, I’ll tell you what to do. These are government employees. When they were given power over others in the government, this should have been balanced out by a lost of some of their rights, i.e., it should be perfectly okay to take them in a back room and waterboard them until they tell us absolutely everything. I mean, really, you think you in the IRS can just forcefully take my money and then not owe me straight answers to absolutely every question asked of your job? I want all that information squeezed out of them through any means necessary and then have them deported to a special colony in Antarctica where we never have to look at any of them ever again.

Of course, you know what the Democrats’ answer to all this is: We need to give the IRS more money. Yes, we just need to throw money at them and hope that works as a bribe to stop them from trampling our rights. And similarly, we need to make sure we give muggers more money so maybe they’ll stop brutalizing us.

Sorry, there is only one thing they should get more of: beatings. If they think they can wield the power of the government against us and not be answerable to us in the United States of America, then I say no mercy for them. If I don’t soon hear the anguished cries of IRS employees, then are elected officials are useless.
