Honey, they nuked our town-Or life after '24'

"We're dead." That's what I said to my wife as a mushroom cloud from a "suitcase" nuclear bomb rose over Valencia, our hometown. .....In Valencia? Hey, we practically invented soccer moms.

From article-Kiefer Sutherland," To pretend there are not terror cells and people working at that level across the United States is simply foolish. It does exist, and it is a reality." Wow. knowing his father is a screaming leftist, I am surprised to read this from the son.

Well, he *does* have a show to promote....

He was responding to a wacky left wing environmental loving journalist who felt his self-esteem was hurt by seeing his town nuked by terrorist on TV.

Only in LA folks, only in LA.

What will this do to real-estate prices?

Dude, there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Ha, after reading that Donald was probably doing a rendition of his last scene in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".

According to Kiefer's bio on a fansite:

"Kiefer’s parents divorced when he was 4 years old and he moved with his mother to Canada from LA. He didn't see too much of his dad..."

Kiefer's got socialists on his mother's side of the family, too. His maternal grandfather is "Tommy Douglas, the leader of the first elected socialist government in North America. He was premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961 and is known as father of Canada's Government funded medical system."

So, given his role on "24" and the comments you quoted, he seems to be swimming upstream in his gene pool...

They should've nuked Rio Linda instead.

LOL! That would have been hysterical.

There's a group on facebook declaring that instead of saying "by Magic Mountain," people from Santa Clarita will now answer "where are you from" with "the town that got nuked on 24."
