NBC's "Homeland Security"

Did anybody watch this aberration last night? A strange made-for-TV about the beginning of the war on terror. Part jingoistic rant, part cautionary tale... and it showed a terror cell meeting a home in Oakland not far from my house, which caused me to shudder in horror.

They also found Bin Laden's kidney dialysis machine at a cave in Afganistan... when there is absolutely no evidence that he has kidney problems, and many experts think that Al Qaeda concoted this rumor themselves...

Weird movie.

Did they find the dialysis machine in the movie or in real life?

I refused to watch in on the grounds that it was bound to be tasteless snuff-wank.

as opposed to the Nick & Jessica Variety Hour?

I refused to watch in on the grounds that the Giants/Padres game was probably more interesting.

i refused because i am plotting the underthrow of stupid media, in a house in Oakland. With Patty Hearst. And Huell Howser. We are a cell. The pressure cooker is a clever ruse.

I hate when I miss blatantly obvious propaghanda masquerading as made for TV drama, damn.

I also didn't watch that. I spent last night catching up on The Simpsons (which has become funny again, you complainers are mental).

I spend the evening eating turkey and pie with my parents. And I taped Arrested Development, which I'll watch tonight, after Bernie Mac, where it belongs.

I confess I saw only an hour of it, but I feel quite qualified to assess it's ass-ness. It was ass.

The Arabs and Afganis were all pretty sinister, beared villains with burning hatred for freedom flowing in their veins.
