Haven’t seen it like this since ‘79. Snow, 40 MPH winds that popped a power line out here in the boonies. Lost power from about 4:00 – 7:00 AM. Also lost heat which put new meaning to the term “drafty house.”
If the weather weren’t bad enough, the two hour episode means double the time to write the post. All of this combined will delay my recap until at least 11:00 AM.
Sorry for the inconvience.
UPDATE
We lost power again at about 9:00 Central causing me to lose about half of what I had written. It came on briefly at about 9:15 and went down again. Called the electric company. The downed line is a “feeder” line and they say to expect outages off and on for the next few hours while they attempt to fix it.
I hope to have the summary posted by sometime this afternoon. Very frustrating situation and I hope you’ll bear with me today as this winter storm works its way through the area.

From the blogs that I’ve viewed, yours is far superior commenting on 24. Blogs4Bauer and Dave Barry don’t amuse me much with their ramblings. Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs has an open thread with over 600 comments about last night’s episodes. Many people there like to say show sucks even though they don’t watch it. It is just a TV show and we hear that the military finds fault with how 24 handles torture, etc. Imagine if those generals tried to influence a far left show?
Regarding losing work content due to storm outages, I suppose we all should consider having a UPS backup power source.

Don’t worry, we are all patient. Stay warm
(Am sending some of our 70 degree weather your way!)

Well, while we’re waiting (as patiently as we can), here are a couple of thoughts.
I’m a suspicious type. When Chloe couldn’t track the car, and Milo did it with what looked like 2 keystrokes, I thought Hmmmm?? But I don’t think I was right now.
Why doesn’t CTU monitor cell-calls that originate in its building (don’t tell me they can’t, this is 24). I guess it’s so the moles can operate until they get caught the “right” way.
Will Marilyn tell CTU that Phillip is bad? Or will her “I’ve seen what happens to people you try to protect” attitude stop her.
I was really thinking that the presidential coup was not related to the terrorism, but just being opportunistic. Right up until Phillip called “Carson,” whoever he is. Oh well.
I feel sorry for Morris, but I wish he could’ve snuck a worm into his software that would make it only work once.
Okay, I’ll stop and wait for Rick. (Here in Columbus, I had a snow day. If anyone ordered something from Eddie Bauer, it’ll be delayed by a day (hopefully not by another, tomorrow).

As usual, I’m looking forward to your take on the show. In that “drafty house,” keep your typing fingers warm…

President Wayne Palmer is a credit to the planet and Mankind. That nuke near LA didn’t send him off half-cocked. We now realize that Congress was truly evil for declaring war on Japan, Germany and Italy after we lost less than 3,000 at Pearl Harbor. FDR should been hanged for what he did to Japanese-Americans. My god, how lame-ass can Palmer possibly be or Bush for that matter? We are at war with Islamofascists and our troops are subject to idiotic rules of engagement, Iran and Syria spit in our face with their forces killing Americans and much of the country wants to appease Islam.
And one has to wonder why CTU cannot keep an eye on the goofs running around inside at least. How many of the three remaining nukes will wreak havoc? Will whatever group that deposes Plamer suspend civil rights such as habeas corpus?
How come ACLU isn’t suing show? Check out the nudity at peta.org also. Why so little skin and sex in 24 and where is Jack’s daughter?

Thank God for snow storms! I have just about had it with recaps of this TV show!
