Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I like the Havers actress too and she isn't anything like the Havers in my head from the books. And neither is Lynley but it doesn't bother me.

I think you make some good points and perhaps I'm a bit too harsh on Chavez considering his laudable goals. He has done some very good things in terms of economic justice, but he also has been consolidating power to himself.
I read up a little more on him and found a good article from the BBC that sort of reflects my ambivalence.
As far as U.S. foreign policy goes, yeah not so great. We do tend to screw over people for our own economic and geopolitical gain. Like Fred Pete said, there have been some good moments, but I sure can think of a lot of bad ones especially now. Now I don't think the U.S. is authoritarian despite the current administrations attempt to consolidate executive power. But I do think we are on a bad path with wealth consolidating at the top, poverty expanding, millions without direct access to health care, and the aforementioned consolidation of executive power. I hope that the dems can steer the elections toward those kind of issues, but I suspect it will be about god, guns, and terror at least in my part of the world.

So, the channel that was formerly Chicago's UPN (i.e, WPWR 50) is running the Canadian show Cold Case on Saturday nights. I taped it and forgot about it and I was replaying my MI-5 tape and got distracted and suddenly, there is Peter Wingfield and the guy who was the barkeep/watcher in Highlander and also in Wiseguy on my tv. Because they are in Cold Case or whatever it's called.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My brain is not working today. I keep making dumb little mistakes. Like putting a semicolon at the end of a line of VBScript (as if it were Java Script), uploading a file to the wrong server....

I want to know how the hell I can be earwormed with that "How to Save a Life" song when I don't even know the words in the catchy part. It's all "weahdihahgowahwoooyeoh eeeyooohawah" like a Michael McDonald vowels-only warble!
