There was an article that Bill "The Sports Guy" Simmons wrote a while ago in which he attempted to bitch out the readers that had given him a hard time about spoiling the ending of a recent episode of "24". In the end he was put in his place since some of the people complaining were in fact troops overseas and he realized that he was kind of a dick about it. The only reason I'm reminded of this is because the most recent episode of "24" was completely audacious and I can't get the thoughts of incredulity over it to leave my head.
Before I delve into the episode, I just want to point out that I don't care if you didn't see it. It's unfortunate that you're going to find out this way, but tough shit. (This goes for you too, soldiers. In all seriousness, we here at AoF thank you for your service, for we would never change places, but you should really get some DVR up in that piece, fuck body armor).
In an effort to keep this post relatively short, I'm gonna hit two areas. One: Mrs. Logan is clearly fucking insane. She's a pointless character and whoever the actress is who plays her (I believe she used to be on Designing Women, Delta Burke and Annie Potts could be the bread and I would be the meat in that delicious sandwich) must have absolutely no career to be subjecting herself to randomly flying off the handle in the middle of an uncontrollable world crisis to the point where she stabs and kills the President. A little bit much.
Secondly, I love the Vice President's agenda. He was in office for roughly 3 minutes and 28 seconds before he called for a nuclear war. There's no way you could convince me that could happen, even with an obvious sinister plot that he's gotta be involved in. Something just tells me that this is probably how the real life cabinet works. There has to be at least one person in Bush's cabinet (maybe him, but I doubt it) that is constantly making wild calls for nuclear war. Probably once a week the rest of the cabinet has to shout this guy down.
Alright, that's enough for now. I have much more, but there are more pressing things to take care of. Namely, now that I picked Texas in the final game and they shit the bed, I need to make my RACKetology picks, which I can't do worse in.

Just to add the complete ridiculousness (but I love it regardless) of this series, isn't it amazing that there are drones with nuclear bombs flying and crash landing in the streets, houses being stormed by undercover agents all over the city, people being taken hostage, and the president getting blown up...and the general public has absolutely no idea that ANY of this is going on.
I find it hard to believe that the media which so relentlessly covers Britney Spears would not catch wind of any of this, but I guess maybe Britney was being especially classy that day.
