that's what happens when you date an arab.

for those of you who watch 24, and you know who you are, am i the only one totally appalled/amused at how politically incorrect it is? the cast is pretty much divided between the good, american white people and the evil muslim terrorists (latino actors pretending to be arabs). the secretary of defense and his daughter are whiter than white. poor little debbie (hee hee) was almost snowy. at ctu - there are two black people, one of them being aisha tyler... who doesn't count because she hosted "talk soup." we see all these innocent caucasians suffer at the hands of the scary brown people who apparently have no reason for torturing anyone except for something having to do with allah.

in addition, i'm convinced that the producers hate women. all the females on the show are either clueless or bitchy. behrooz's mom and erin driscoll are COMPLETELY PSYCHOTIC! i mean, driscoll is so mannish and always makes the stupidest fucking decisions possible, while behrooz's mom does all these crazy things while remaining completely calm... she is clearly a sociopath. furthermore, why the hell did debbie keep asking behrooz so many questions? weren't you thinking, "shut the fuck up!" and i really hope chloe does resign. although she helps jack out, if i have to look at that same stupid frown on her face for another episode, i am going to scream.

i've started wondering if the $$$ to produce 24 comes straight from the bush administration... along with script notes on how to make the terrorists seem more arab and evil and the women seem more stupid and annoying. keep up the good fight, fox. we gotta keep our minorities marginalized, our women subdued and the whole fucking country scared shitless. let freedom ring.

p.s. if you go onto imdb and start looking up who appears in what episode (so as to learn how to spell people's names), you can see what characters die during what episode because they aren't credited in the following episodes. i don't suggest it.

Aisha Tyler is in 24? Maybe I should add it to my DVR list.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh TOBY!!!! i love you! i can't believe you read my blog! can i be your whiskey girl? i'm willing to give up my intelligent/liberal ways if you'll call me yours forever. i'm sure all the jack daniels i will drink in that bar that you love will ease/fuel (in a never ending cycle) my self hatred for selling my soul to the devil and falling in love with a republican. i can be kinda crazy sometimes, so if we ever go on a trip... remember, what happens in mexico... allright, enough about me... i know you want to talk about you.
