But we find ourselves constantly telling ourselves that if the CIA analysts and bureaucrats REALLY act this way, we're doomed.

And don't get me started on Audrey. As a woman, she embarrasses me.

ROFLMAO!!!! That's exactly what I said to my husbad. If the management of a real CTU consists of eight people, four of whom are involved romantically with each other, WE'RE DOOMED!!!!! And give me a break....the country is on the brink of a nuclear catastrophe, and they actually stop to talk about their romantic problems? It's ridiculous. And wasn't Audrey almost dead leass than 12 hours ago when she tried to kill herself with carbon monoxide. Don't you think she'd be a little "light-headed" Her make-up didn't even come off! And one more question, don't you think that Jack would be needing a really long shower by now??????? Oh, and ONE MORE question...where the heck has the Secretary of Defense been??? Wait...just one more....

There are too many ridiculous things to mention...I'd need a scorecard. But we keep going back for more. We're masochists, I tell you.

It's mostly the personal relationships and taking time to discuss things that could, on a good day, wait until after work, and on a bad day, like when we're under an imminent nuclear attack, would wait until the crisis is over, that makes us absolutely crazy.

But we've wondered if the younger generation with the instant messaging technology today feel the need to be more in touch with their personal lives than we ever felt the need to be during working hours and so to them this seems normal.

My young son noticed last year that whenever there is a car chase, no matter how many cars, the good guys are always in (sponsor) Ford SUVs and the bad guys are in Chevy's.

Yep. You'd think the first person the President would ask about nuclear weapons would be the Secretary Of Defense followed by the Secretary Of Energy. Anyway, the portrait of a feckle President is complete nonsense. The American people are never going to elect a pacifist their Chief Executive. And the rules about torture? My response would be to cite the Roman maxim: "In bellum sunt silent leges." In other words, in time of war, the laws don't apply.

Forget about the disappearance of the SecDef, isn't his son still in the sensory-depravation tank? After 15 hours, his mind must be jelly by now.
