24

Tonight I am in Washington, D.C., engaging in intensive preparations for tomorrow''s inaugural parade, so I will not be able to help you ridicule analyze tonight's episode. But I'm sure you'll all do fine, down there in the comments section.

Here is the plot so far:

A terrorist group  working for the evil African Subplot General Dubaku has gotten hold of a top-secret CIP module that controls the entire infrastructure. Tony, who was dead for several seasons but recovered thanks to a hypothermic injection, has been working for the terrorists, and for a while he was actually bad, but then he became good again, but he pretended that he was still bad so that he could be an undercover agent, working with Chloe and Bill, who are basically in charge of national security, because everybody who works for the federal government is either a mole, or incompetent, or an incompetent mole. Once Jack realized that Tony was really good, he helped him escape from the FBI, which fired 127,763 rounds of ammunition at them, all of which missed.

Jack and Tony went back to the terrorists, who initially intended to kill Jack, but decided not to because it would be bad for ratings. So now Jack is also pretending to be a terrorist. At the end of last week, he and Tony and the rest of the terrorist gang were trying to kidnap Prime Minister Somebody, and I am frankly not sure why. Edgar is still dead, as is Roger, the deceased son of President Woman President and her husband, Mr. President Woman President, who has been pushing the Dead Son Subplot in such a whiny and irritating way that we're starting to wonder if he might be related to you-know-who.

Anyway, good luck to you all tonight. Be sure to stay tuned at the end for the plot summary by The Amazing Steve,

Pizza - check!
Soda - check!
Guacamole - check!
TV with the volume so loud you can hear it in Guam - check!

The comments seem kind of flaccid.

Dave,

Why in the hell would anyone in their right mind be within 100 miles of Washington, DC today or tomorrow (or actually anytime)?

DRINK!

Not yet?

SECOND!

Good question, largebill. I wish I weren't.

largebill, he's got to mow a lawn or something.

DRINK!

Cat - Drink whenever you like!

This hobby is getting more and more difficult to explain to my family.

Last week...

Mr R: "Is that guy an agent?"
Me: blank stare
Mr R: "Who are they after?"
Me: blank stare
Mr R: "What are you blogging about?"
Me: "Hell if I know. But you should try it. It's fun!"

One of the more believable elements of 24....
