24 creator is mental nutcase
This blog post at Digby's Blog analyses a New Yorker interview with the creator of popular TV series, 24. In it, Joel Surnow makes some fairly staggering assertions about what he considers to be a desire held by "every American".
Every American wishes we had someone out there quietly taking care of business. It’s a deep, dark ugly world out there. Maybe this is what Ollie North was trying to do. It would be nice to have a secret government that can get the answers and take care of business—even kill people. Jack Bauer fulfills that fantasy.
The post analyses the entire interview and adds some pretty interesting background information about this guy. I hate people who use that 'everyone hopes that...' or 'most people agree that...' line. 'Mental nutcase' is fine, though.

"Every American wishes we had someone out there quietly taking care of business." – spoken like a true totalitarian. Does he know what the hell he's saying?
