24 Day 6 — 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.

No recap. Snark only. No time for recap/rewrite. There is much to do.
BTW, how ’bout that shark jumping/mounting last week when Jack questioned and used the mentally handicapped or autistic man?
Oh, and Nadia (Yassir)? Totally a mole. It’s so obvious that I can even tell you her middle name (Nina).
Can you think of a more Over-The-Top character than VPOTT? Or a more whispery one than Waynewreck?
Jack likes the idea of two men fighting over the presidency, because then he doesn’t have to honor the immunity agreement for Gredenko. If only that had happened earlier… when there was still a Curtis and an Assad, and the immunity agreement in question could have been Assad’s, and I wouldn’t have to hate Jack.
Re: above shark jumping/mounting. Who am I kidding? This show has been playing badminton all season, and the shark is the net! And in case I haven’t said it in total snooty fashion: Worst. Season. Ever.
I wish it were a less smarmy VP, because Waynewreck is such a lousy excuse for a president.
You know, I really like Bisquick.
What’s up with Ricky Schroeder?
Oh goodness, they’re letting BlacKim write the arguments for reinstating Waynewreck?
Well, that was quite an intimate hand-hold between VPOTT and his blonde perjurous bimbette. She says the end justifies the means, and on one hand I agree, because Waynewreck just wants to sit there and look weak and let America look weak, but on the other hand, it’s a little… you know… unconstitutional. Then again, the way Waynewreck is cringing and flinching, he could flop over at any minute.
Bisquick is a little industrious, then, isn’t he? I keep thinking someone is going to stab him with a shiv right in the kidney in the hallway.
Now that Waynewreck has been “reinstated” or not uninstated, I’ll betcha he’s gonna slump right over at his desk and kick off before the end of the episode.
Hey, Chloe! I wish she were more Chloe this season.
Say, whatever happened to the “dirty bomb”, the nuke that split open? Is that non-news now? Just a catalyst for the whole takeover thing? I guess since it happened in San Francisco and not LA, it’s not important to the show. You know they can’t leave LA on this show.
Ew. They cut off Gredenko’s arm. He must really heart bin Diesel.
Huh? So they ran into a bar together, and then Gredenko told everyone in the bar, “That’s him. That’s the guy they’re looking for.” And bin Diesel shot at Gredenko, then shot a civilian, then the men in the bar started kicking the crap out of bin Diesel. Yes, we didn’t see that coming. I guess he was like, “That b**tard cut off my arm! I mean, I told him to, but still! He did it anyway!”
So now CTU gets bin Diesel, and Gredenko’s blood loss is heavy, and he is washed up… so to speak. A-HAHAHAHA. I’m so funny.
Waynewreck is getting another shot of adrenaline, which I think is what will kill him…
And no. In the syringe WAS NOT ADRENALINE AT ALL! IT WAS SPINE-GENERATING FLUID! Bisquick and the Ever-Shrill Mr. F are like, “What?” when they hear that Waynewreck is launching the nuclear strike on the fictional Middle Eastern country after all. “I didn’t come back to save the country from that policy, I came back so you would RESPECT MY AUTHORI-TAH!”
YAY!
I mean that in a total world-peace-wanting way. But the only way to get world peace is to forcefully make people stop killing us. Even if it’s a rogue mission, the world doesn’t see it that way. The world sees it as, “Hey, America doesn’t fight back! Cool! Free attack zone and student visas for all!”
Even with the assertion of authori-tah, he still can’t manage to raise his voice above a whisper.
So I guess Wayne won’t die until next week.
BTW, Joey and Kim totally should have gotten 9s tonight, and last night’s Amazing Race was AWESOME. I love the beauty queens Dustin and Kandice. They’re my favorites, I hope they win.

The Issues That Threaten Our Nation: The T-shirt

Like most Americans, I watch TV and am horrified by some of the things threatening America!
We cannot let this stand. We have an obligation, no – a moral duty – to do everything we can to fight injustice.
The only way to do this is by buying our T-Shirts. No, there is no other way. Just buy our T-shirts and let the world know that nobody will hijack our sacred way of life.

Colicky Baby

He mocks us with his hatlessness.

Glenn Greenwald has always been an interesting bit of performance art, but the way he commands so many idiots to spam people he disagrees with turns him from entertaining to a nuisance. It doesn’t matter what the issue is; spamming people you disagree with are not the actions of a thoughtful pundit. They are the actions of a dumb baby.
Luckily, I’m not above being a dumb baby. Everyone send e-mails to Glenn Greenwald (GGreenwald@salon.com) demanding he put a picture of himself in a funny hat — maybe one of those hunting hats with the ear flaps. I don’t what they’re called.
Do it now!
UPDATE:
Glenn Greenwald updated to complain about the puppy blender linking to Cliff May’s post (Greenwald even took a screenshot lest Reynolds hides the evidence!). Says Greenwald:

[T]he lesson which right-wing, Bush-following war supporters drew from the mountain of empirical evidence in this post, as well as from this entire day-long exchange with Cliff May (to say nothing of the November, 2006 election), is that Americans support the War in Iraq and do not want to withdraw the troops.

Actually, from the looks of it, I think Reynolds only linked to the post with his chosen text just to annoy Greenwald, and thus the lesson is that the right wing hates dumb babies.
Every times I’ve seen a Greenwald post, he’s always this stunningly obtuse. Do you think it’s an act?
I really should try being a successful left-wing blogger some day; it seems so easy…

Waiting to Exhale

The Supreme Court has ruled that the EPA can regulate greenhouse gas emissions. Since one of the most common greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide — emitted every time you breathe — the EPA now has control over your exhaling. It is important you understand that your breathing doesn’t just affect you; it affects all living creatures, especially those most vulnerable to climate change. Thus, you should be aware of these new breathing regulations:
REGULATIONS ON BREATHING

Every time you exhale, you kill a baby polar bear.

* Ban on Jogging: Jogging does nothing but cause the jogger to breathe heavily, and thus it is an assault on the Earth’s climate. If you see anyone jogging, report him or her to the police. If you see police chasing a jogger on foot, report them as well.
* Ban on Strenuous Activity: Any physical labor can induce excessive breathing. All physical labor should now be done by carbon-neutral robots. These robots should be compliant to Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, though non-compliant robots built in 2006 or earlier can be grandfathered in.
* Ban on Sports: Sports involve a lot of heavy breathing from physically-taxed athletes as well as greenhouse contribution from shouting spectators. Only non-strenuous sports — such as chess tournaments — and polite clapping by spectators are allowed.
* Ban on Passionate Love Making: Passionate sexual activity results in unsafe amounts of breathing. Love making should instead be conducted in a businesslike and formal manner. Any other types of love making should be discouraged. If you know of any instances of passionate love-making, make sure to inform everyone.
* Ban on Creepy Phone Calls: Creepy phone calls with heavy breathing contribute greatly to greenhouse gases. If a creepy phone call must be made, simply hang up when the other party answers or use something to hide your voice while making creepy statements.
* Ban on Nagging: One of the largest contributions to greenhouse gases is the amount of exhaling done from women when nagging men. Since the men were most likely never listening in the first place, nagging is a complete waste that damages the environment. Women are strongly encouraged to stick to passive-aggressive behavior.
* Tax on Obesity: The obese tend to become short of breath more often leading to excessive breathing and thus damage to the environment. While obesity can’t be outlawed, it can be taxed. Also, environmentally concerned citizens are encouraged to promote healthy weight by referring to the obese as “Fatty Fatty Fat Fat.”
* Ban on Ax-Wielding Maniacs: People chased by ax-wielding maniacs tend to breathe at an excessive and environmentally harmful rate, so ax-wielding maniacs are banned until further notice.
The EPA asks you to please keep these new regulations in mind, and to…
THINK BEFORE YOU BREATHE!

The UN Doesn’t Like Constructive Criticism

Someone from UN Watch very calmly points out what a huge horrible waste the Human Right Council at the UN is and get his speech stricken from the record:

It’s good they’re silencing such speech; it gets in the way of the UN’s efficiency of criticizing Israel and pretending to care about the Palestinians (no one actually cares about the Palestinians… particularly not the Palestinians themselves).

Daily Fred Thompson Fact

According to Sura 8 verse 65 of the Koran, Allah told the Prophet Muhammad, “O Prophet! Urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve… but if you’re up against Fred Thompson, you’re totally screwed and I can’t help you.”
