I opened up my home page today where I was hit with this headline:

"Janeane Garofalo Joining Fox's '24'."

Right below it was a story about 14 U.S. troops that died in a helicopter crash. Shows where are priorities are as a nation. We'd rather have the fantasy terrorism stories shown to us over knowing what is going on in the "war" were involved in. I wonder if it's just that people are tired of hearing all the bad news coming out of Iraq. It does depress me when I read stories like that. Anyway, topic for another day.

I'm here to talk about the fake terrorism stories and the characters involved! After initially seeing that Janeane Garofalo was joining the cast I was less than thrilled. They seem to be bringing in some random semi-famous star almost yearly now. Some of them have done decent enough jobs on the show, but I'm tired of going, "Isn't that guy from _____?" I like the new blood; I like the Tonys, Michelles, Edgars, and Chloes. I don't like chanting "Rudy, Rudy!" every time the director walks into CTU.

All that being said, I now think Janeane will do a decent job on the show. I had forgotten that she was also on the West Wing, so she does have some experience working with television drama. We shall see if she's any good in due time.

Oh and I can't wait for 24 to start again. I think I'm having withdrawals. I haven't seen Jack an unnecessarily brutal killing in months.
