Jack Bauer Is Not Gone. The '24' Hero Lives in Me -- and You
By David Gibson - Politics DailyJack Bauer departed the scene Monday night after nine years and eight pulse-pounding seasons of "24," the addictive television series that is not "Lost." Whether Jack Bauer -- a.k.a. the actor Kiefer Sutherland -- exited stage right or stage left may depend on one's political point of view. Was the super-agent at CTU (that's the Counter Terrorism Unit, for you unlucky naïfs) a Karl Rove stand-in who promoted torture as the best answer to any question? Or was he a lefty with guns who unmasked the vast, right-wing conspiracy that really is behind everything that goes wrong? How was it that ...

Jack Bauer and CTU Shut Out of Obama Intelligence Team
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyPresident-Elect Barack Obama held a news conference today to announce the remainder of his intelligence appointments, and ol' Jack "Tell me what I want to know or I'll yank out your stomach lining with a towel" Bauer was nowhere to be found. In fact, with 16 intelligence agencies, Barack Obama didn't mention CTU even once. He did announce real-life picks, after he talked about yet another dismal jobs report, for December. As expected, he named Leon Panetta as CIA Director, and Admiral Dennis Blair as Director of National Intelligence. He made a compelling case for both men as keys to ...
Six Reasons to Love Dr. Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWith the news today that Barack Obama has offered the job of Surgeon General to CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, I thought it might be helpful if I pitched in with some quick bullet points to smooth over any opposition to the pick. Sure, there may be some naysayers, like Michael Moore, but it should be obvious to anyone that Gupta is the right man for this job. Here are six good things about the pick, in case you're not convinced:#6 Two Words: Holographic Colonoscopy - "I'm beaming Will.i.am's polyps right into this studio!" #5 No matter how many people die, he can't be President - The Surgeon General ...
Doug Davis Already Back in the Dugout
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsDoug Davis showed up on Sunday night at the Diamondbacks game, just basically a few hours after undergoing cancer removal surgery on his right thyroid. He was sauntering around the Arizona clubhouse, showing off his scar from the surgery to various teammates. They claimed that it motivated them but it might have terrified Edgar Gonzalez and Tony Pena, Jr., who coughed up seven of the teams 13 runs allowed to the Rockies. Still, Davis' return can't be seen as anything negative, what with the high probability of a speedy recovery that has been predicted. 'To see him in good spirits today is a ...
