I recently changed laundry-folding night to Monday. Which means I now watch "24," mindless television making tedious sock-sorting slightly more bearable. I can't say which I find more amusing: how terrible the show is, or how much Conservatives like it. Just discovered that Dave Barry live-blogs episodes, including last night's. If you watch, you must read. A taste:
Jack is on a diplomatic flight with the Secret Tape Recording That Will Bring Down The President (STRTWBDTP), which Jack obtained via the clever tactic of repeatedly threatening to kill everybody on the plane. If only Jack can make the STRTWBDTP public, the president will be doomed, and the Evil Plot (whaever the hell it is) will be foiled! (Many of you have asked why -- since Jack is in constant contact with Chloe, and he is an extremely high-tech individual, and he has a PDA that can do pretty much anything, including remotely detonate terrorists -- Jack doesn't simply transmit the STRTWBDTP to Chloe, so she can broadcast it. There is a simple, logical explanation for why Jack has not done this, which is: Shut up.)
