Take for instance all those "palace coups" that occur on "24", this season included. The most disheartening aspect of “24″ is that life doesn’t seem to exactly follow art.

But I can completely understand where you're coming from. One of the most difficult decisions I've had to make in the last few years was to completely give up blogging on TMH's Bacon Bits. (Now the URL has been grabbed by someone else, so it goes.) The real-world paying job and a growing family got in the way - blogging for me was purely for political sport (plus a perhaps misguided belief that I could make a difference in the b'sphere). Now you are a working stiff who DOES make a difference -- you gotta do what ya gotta do. It has been a pleasure - do I say an honor? - to see Jack and his/our world through your brilliant and spot-on humorous/sarcastic filter. I'll be keen to see a few philosophical/political comments from you as the various nefarious bureaucratic demons get exorcised through the purifying light and air cast on their wriggling bodies as Paladin Jack overturns more stones. (I just opened a new can of mixed metaphors, want some?) I'll be stopping by RWNH, of course - in fact it seems I have a lot of reading to do from you on The Obaminator this week. Stay sane, right, and be cool, you're doing great.I admire your stamina! BTW: Gads, I just realized I can't remember your former alias, Rick! What was it? How embarrassing. Too many kids in the house now - the 18 month old, he's on a rampage; 6 and 9 y.o. girls are very teenish -- my brain cells are falling left and right like Obama's campaign promises. ;) <em>It was Superhawk. And sorry to hear about Bacon Bits. We had some lively back and forths on a few issues, didn't we? ed.</em> Yo Rick,

I was here long before reading the "24" recaps -- and I will keep reading your work. I first started watching "24" two seasons ago (with President Logan and his wife Martha). When I go back to watch the season previous to that, I will read the recap from your archive after every episode. For now, I will look for another recap-er. Know of any good recap sites? Thanks, again, and I am glad you are full-time on the AT site, now. Thanks for the four years, Rick!

It will be a shame to not read them any more. But we all understand the reasoning. Most people have to, at one time or another in their lives, put down something they enjoy for something that they must do instead. One final comment. This season I have played a little mental game comparing "Madame President" with our own President Obama to see which of the two is (in my opinion) the better leader for our country. Both of these leaders have (again in my opinion) similar politics but different styles of leading. Weekly I have vacillated back and forth, not sure which one would be best (or the least worst.) Right now I would have to give the job to "Madame President" since she seems to have a moral center unlike President Obama who seems to effortlessly reflect the direction of the political wind. It could be due to the fact that I know more about "Madame President" than I do President Obama that gives her the edge in my mind. In any case it has been a pleasure following your 24 blog. Thanks Rick! Wramblin' Wreck Rick,

Now it is the first blogsite I check on a daily basis. I agree with the opinions of the show, and fear/hope this will be the last year. Further, the weekly "global warning" message is getting a little boring. Keep of the good work and I look forward to future posts. I originally stumbled onto your blog because of 24.

Maybe you are just getting lazy or busy. Maybe just tired of writing about it. But not sure if it has anything to do with what you are talking about. it is a TV show and I think it is pretty good this season. To bad because you did it the best.

A thought occurred last night; 24 seemed a little over the edge, exaggerated, you might say, relative to all the dirty agents, staff, etc. Then I came back to reality and pondered the real life corruption, 535 examples on capitol hill just for starters, not to mention the state legislators, all of a sudden 24 seemed more true to life. For whatever their reasons might be, the shakers and movers seem hell bent on killing off heroes with impunity. Since we're in mid season and the show has now become a nail biter, I'll hang in there to the end. Regarding the future, I'll seriously and slowly re-evaluate the Monday night routine. Relative to the blogger critique; perhaps I've been spoiled by the Moran style because after looking at the other bloggers, they just don't cut the mustard. Far be it from me to question your planned changes. All things must be done decently and in order albeit the fact, you'll be missed. Interesting perspective.
