Preview of season 3 of SOTU
TV Squad has run an article previewing some of the things we'll be seeing in season 3 of State of the Union, coming January 25 on Showtime in the US. Here are some of the things we can expect in the seven episodes of season 3: "An example includes showing a group taking a tour of a Holocaust Museum and speaking of those who have perpetrated horrible crimes against the Jews, then having a likeness of Bernie Madoff in the center of it [I cracked up when I read that one].... Highlights include Tracey playing Penélope Cruz playing Salma Hayak, Ruth Madoff (Bernie's wife) and one woman who can't live without being on the cell phone or Internet (and nearly causing several traffic accidents on the way)." These sound very promising!
UPDATE (Dec. 28): after I posted this entry, the I Am A TV Junkie blog posted its own preview of season 3. It fleshed out some details of sketches or vignettes we already knew would be appearing. For instance, for the scene set at MSNBC featuring Tracey as 5 characters, we now know who the characters will be: Rachel Maddow [makes sense for an MSNBC sketch], Arianna Huffington [hurray, she's back!], Meghan McCain, Barney Frank, and CNN's Christiane Amanpour showing up at the wrong studio by mistake. There will also be a sketch featuring airport security screener Chanel Monticello leading her workers in a tribute to Michael Jackson (as choreographed by Joe Malone).

End of the year
Well, we are nearing the end of another year. But think: in slightly more than one month, we will be treated to the first of seven new episodes of State of the Union. I wonder what will be different this year? We'll find out soon enough. We should start monitoring Showtime for previews of the new season. We should start watching the talk show lineups for her appearances.
And of course, the end of the year means another anniversary for Tracey and Allan (number 26, I think) and another birthday for Tracey -- and it's a big one this year: the big half-century mark. It seems hard to believe -- and it's even harder for me, for I'm not too far from that milestone myself (and that seems hard to believe).
