not much to report, but a good quote

If you will recall, about ten days ago I made a remark about Fox's 24 having some, uh, pretty implausible plot devices, so we should probably just sit back and enjoy the explosions. Now the actor who played the ex-President who was killed off early this season, and who is referred to as 'President Allstate' on Dave Barry's blog because he does Allstate commercials, has said this about all the carnage:

Removing so many characters, Haysbert says, creates "this man against the world thing, and it becomes a bit cartoonish, not plausible."

If you look back at the weekly events on Mr. Barry's blog, you will notice that the show hit cartoonish quite a while ago, but maybe if your character is alive, it's harder to tell.
