Love it. Especially if she's been annoying that day.

It is nice to see that our president got to keep his toy:

Lord, can you even imagine having your mobile devices pulled from you?

I am sure some of the geeks at RIM had a blast working with the NSA on the project.

I had read somewhere that it may not actually be a BlackBerry but a special phone that the NSA and CIA use.

Me, I'd like to have my iPhone pulled from my hands, I would probably be much more productive.

The Obama people went to Vince Flynn and asked what kind of phone he gives to Mitch Rapp. :D (MBM3 - almost done the series...started Term Limits before Christmas, and I'm on Act of Treason now.)

I do love me some Mitch Rapp. I'm actually looking forward to my IAD - SAN leg today, so I can finish listening to Consent to Kill.

I hear that they are planning on canceling The Unit on CBS and devoting the effort to making a Mitch Rapp movie, the rights to which are owned by CBS.

LOL. I'm pretty sure Mitch wouldn't be welcome any more... ;)

Why can't the storyline of The Office flow from week to week? Last night's show really had nothing to do with last weeks show - sometimes they follow the flow and other times it seems completely random.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still a big fan. :)

Episode 7 of the podcast up with a guest host and the episode is all about Twitter.

You won't see it coming. Spectacular last 100 pages to that.

Ever since I read that the deal was done, as I read the books I wonder who would be playing who. For some reason, Dr. Torres from Grey's Anatomy came to my mind for Special Agent Rivera. I still can't figure out who would play Rapp to save my life...but I know if the producers have any brains, they have to keep his looks how they are given how comfortable he is in the Middle East.

The Unit was inspired by a book about Delta that was later found out to be embellished, to put it kindly. Why the author felt the need to embellish, I'm not sure. He was the founding command sergeant major under Charlie Beckwith.

It kind of did, with the story of Michael more than with Dwight, Angela, and Andy but it wasn't enough IMO.

Sad indeed because it's so true. The epitome of what employers put on vacancy announcements: "a results-driven professional."
