24
While I’ve only watched 1.5 seasons of 24 I’ve seen enough to make me chortle at this video. I didn’t embed the video as the chosen display frame is slightly NWS.
Almost makes me want to find the Season 2 DVD’s and start all over again.

Why the Christmas Day bomber’s father failed…..
Unheeded warning
Spare a thought, if you have any left this morning, for Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, the former chairman of the First Bank of Nigeria, and the father of the man who tried to blow up an aircraft over Detroit.
Repeatedly, he tried to warn the US authorities that his son might be involved in something dodgy. Repeatedly, they ignored him. And I think we all know why. I bet his first approach was by e-mail. “Dear SURNAME,” he may have written, following the apparent custom of his countrymen. “I am MR MUTALLAB, the former CHAIRMAN of the FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA and I write to inform you that . . .” Click. Straight into the CIA spam bin.
Pity that modern Cassandra, the Nigerian banker who actually has something important to say. Maybe there are hundreds of them. Screaming into cyberspace via Hotmail. Forever ignored.

Random Pics n Thoughts
It’s been awhile since I shared anything meaningful with the 3 or 4 of you regulars so I decided to give you an early Christmahanakwanzamas present. Candid shots and candid observations.
Every Christmahanakwanzamas I buy myself a present. This year it was one of these camera pens. I found out this morning the real fun was trying to decipher the Chinese to English translation of the instructions. “Springs the U Plate, closes down the machine, the blue lantern festival twinkle.” Ahh heck let me take a picture of the “manual” and you can read it all yourself. Ironically I just watched the “Super Monkey Death Car” episode of News Radio last night.
Out shopping the other day, I was walking through some store and I unconsciously read this box aloud. There were about 4 or 5 people that were in earshot. One lady gave me a look and then moved away. Luckily no children.
If I was capable of blushing I might have I suppose.

Petty Theft
I lifted the following comment from one of my favorite conservative blogs.
The commenter lifted it from ZombieTown. CAUTION Images Alert CAUTION
It pretty much sums up my thinking.
I’m perfectly willing to provide subsidized health care to people who are suffering due to no fault of their own. But in those cases — which, unfortunately, constitute perhaps a majority of all cases — where the unwellness is a consequence of the patient’s own misdeeds, bad habits, or stupid choices, I feel a deep-seated resentment that the rest of us should pick up the tab to fix medical problems that never should have happened in the first place.
I’m speaking specifically of medical problems caused by:
• Obesity
• Cigarette smoking
• Alcohol abuse
• Reckless behavior
• Criminal activity
• Unprotected promiscuous sex
• Use of illicit drugs
• Cultural traditions
• Bad diets
Now, I really don’t care if you overeat, smoke like a chimney, hump like a bunny or forget to lock the safety mechanism on your pistol as you jam it in your waistband. Fine by me. And as a laissez-faire social-libertarian live-and-let-live kind of person, I would never under normal circumstances condemn anyone for any of the behaviors listed above. That is: Until the bill for your stupidity shows up in my mailbox. Then suddenly, I’m forced to care about what you do, because I’m being forced to pay for the consequences.
