I admit that I've had my doubts about certain aspects of the Patriot Act (& the upcoming sequel: Patriot Act II: the Revenge), the Department of Homeland Security, the "War on Terrorism" & pretty much everything the Bush team says & does.
that is, until I saw a little something called "Threat Matrix" on the television last night.
if all of our Homeland Security folks are as brave & goodlooking as the folks on that show, & if all terrorists are as sinister, slanty-eyed, & bent on destroying the American Way of Life so as to seem cool to their terrorist friends, then they (by which I mean the Homeland Security Folks) need all the support they can get, & its a darn shame they keep getting hamstrung by international treaties, worries about civil liberties, & limp-wristed Democrat nancies in Congress (portrayed, for thematic reasons, as all wearing turbans & speaking with French accents)
I admit I have trouble with things until t.v. explains them to me.
there was a great scene where the lead agent, Rock Anglo, & his crack team of Homeland Security agents (including a black guy, an asian guy, a blonde woman, a blonde deaf woman, & a vaguely middle easterny guy) face off against an Al Quaeda operative who has strapped 50 lbs. of explosives to a cute little golden retriever puppy, the guy's all like, "FeelthyAmerican dog! I weel keel all uff you! Like I weel keel THEES feelthy American dog! Bwah-ha-ha-ha!"
& Rock Anglo's like, "Not on my watch, terrorist scum! My name is Rock Anglo, Homeland Security, I think with my fists & my fists are good thinkers!"
& he punches the dude (played by veteran character actor Abe Vigoda) out, catches the puppy with one hand, snaps the blue wire with his teeth (disabling the explosives), & gives the puppy to a grateful family of Midwestern Farmers who all happen to be blind.
THAT'S good television.
(& I feel a little ashamed for previously praising the efforts of the ACLU, which obviously wants puppies to be blown up by Muslim fanatics played by veteran character actor Abe Vigoda.)
