24 Season 7: Kiefer Sutherland Has Yet More Torturing to Do
It's tempting to write this post as a series of random Jack Bauer facts (which are funnier than I could ever manage). But why bother? This trailer for the new season of 24, so kindly and gently introduced by Kiefer Sutherland, does all the work for you. Jack Bauer does not negotiate. Jack Bauer does not regret. Jack Bauer's gonna torture a bitch. And Jack Bauer is gonna enjoy it.

Does Fox News Have Reefer Madness?
From LiberalViewer, perhaps YouTube's most vocal critic of FOX News, comes this scathing look at a July 13 broadcast about "drug lords turning suburban homes into pot growhouses" in Miami's gated communities. LiberalViewer accuses FOX News of using sensationalistic scare tactics that play fast and loose with the truth -- for instance, the unnamed DEA agent who claims that this new uber-strong "dope on steroids" "will kill you."
Now, we don't hear the entire broadcast here, so it's possible we missed the citation of numerous marijuana OD deaths sweeping the Miami area. However, as the FOX broadcast claims that the new strain is three times as strong, which comes well under the estimated 20,000 - 40,000 times the normal dose that studies have estimated would constitute lethal use.
So, yeah. Thanks for the warning, FOX, but I don't think I'll be losing sleep over the killer pot just yet.
