"you're my little sister and i love you so much, and i just want you to be happy."

this is what big sister says to little sister when she discovers that little sister's husband 'might be a terrorist'. this is how we suspend disbelieve for the interesting fiction that is the fox network's new drama '24'. if you haven't seen it, check the link. here's the problem with 24: too much family values.

in this thriller, a former cia wet boy regains his license to kill now that a bona fide nuke threatens to blow in los angeles within the day. wetboy lost his wife last season. it was ultimately serbians that time. even so, wetboy's misadventures cost the lives of about a dozen highly skilled government personnel. yet his girl-walking womenfolk managed to dodge bullets, not to mention stay awake, survive rapes and car crashes through an incredible 24 hours.

ollie north couldn't get a home security system, much less 3 bodyguards for his family. i'm not sure tha g. gordon liddy even has one. so how does jack bauer merit? he doesn't, but this is the big belief we have to keep. individual families count and won't be sacrificed. this gets my 'yeah right' of the day.

anyway check out the drama. it's got the second best black president of the united states, ever. i think there have been about 6. i'll check the record. the best ever? morgan freeman in 'deep impact', and i do mean best ever. number 2 easily goes to martin sheen.

hmm. i should build some poll software.

ctu has just been hit, and my favorite character has sucked up too much plutonium to last until next season. aw shucks.

i'm keeping the format to this size. sorry about the long first, now, more about the lynch factor.
