The first part is a review of the this season's The Shield.
Meanwhile, as the equally long-awaited 24 revs up for a four-hour, two-night
season premiere, Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) soon discovers you can play
dead for only so long.
I lost count of how many times I jumped and yelled at the TV in the opening
minutes of 24's relentless, fiendishly entertaining first episode. It never
lets up, and why in the world would you ever want it to?
As the fifth season begins, our hero has been living under a new identity 18
months after faking his death. But terrible circumstances catapult him, and
the new innocents in his life, onto a sudden collision course with nonstop
danger - and, inevitably, CTU.
Before long, it seems everyone's in harm's way, and Jack's mission is to get
at the truth while he has multiple targets on his back. "Relax, he's really
good at this," snarly CTU tech Chloe (the amusing Mary Lynn Rajskub) tells a
stunned observer. Jack Bauer is lethally good - better than ever, in fact -
and so is the show, a breathlessly paced torrent of tragedy and impending
disaster on multiple fronts.
Of special note this season: Jean Smart's wily performance as a possibly
unstable but ultimately steely first lady to wimpy President Logan (Gregory
Itzin). She's one of many fresh new characters to fret over.
I didn't know how 24 could top last season, but so far it's working. And the
edge of my seat is already frayed.

I'd saved your latest post on the '24' schedule:
In article <hvUsf.48285$6e1.21090@newssvr14.news.prodigy.com>:
The season will premiere on Sunday, January 15th after the NFC playoff game
and continue on Monday, January 16th. Two hours will be shown each night
beginning at 8pm EST/7pm CST.
On Monday, January 23rd, the show will move to its regular slot at 9pm
EST/8pm CST. It will show every Monday until the 2-hour finale on Monday,
May 22nd.
Yup! I'll be glued to KDVR FOX 31 (my local affiliate here
in Colorado) for every entertaining *second* of '24'--i.e.,
allowing for the usual commerical interruptions, of course.
Since its first season first aired in 2001, I've ranked
'24' near the top of my top-ten favorite series, easily
right up there with 'The Sopranos', 'Deadwood', 'Six Feet
Under', and other truly addictive cable and network series.
Some readers may not remember, but the first episode of
'24' was broadcast on Tuesday November 6, 2001--not two
months after the 9/11 World Trade Center terrorist attack.
It took a lot of intestinal fortitude on the part of FOX
and '24' executives, cast and crew to go ahead with this
intensely patriotic and vehemently anti-terrorist series,
given the post-9/11 climate of liberal Democrats bashing
everything and anyone remotely associated with patriotism
or anti-terrorism, which '24' is both very much in Spades.
But that's okay, as ratings for 24 climb through the roof! :-D
Enjoy!

The Collected Buffoonery of Daniel Joseph Min - Usenet's most failed prophet.

Who is Danny Min?
What does he post?
Examples of failed prophecies
What you should do
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who is Daniel J. Min?
Daniel J. Min is a denizen of Usenet newsgroups. He posts using various variations on his name, including using asterisks or underlines in place of letters. Often he will post as "Nomen Nescio" or Anonymous, and he used to post as GOD>.
The reason for this is to get around peoples "kill files" or "bozo filters"
However, he consistently posts through anonymous "remailers" in order to disguise his true identity
He posts to various newsgroups, including alt.astrology, alt.astronomy, and alt.prophecies.nostradamus. He posts in any inappropriate newsgroup he deems neccessary.
Additionally Danny has been known to directly email people, once again, using his anonymous remailer service.
What does he post?
Danny posts various garbage claims about astrological influences, and birthdata, which he generally makes up as he goes along. Outstanding amongst his posts include claims to know exactly the birthdata of Jesus Christ, Johannes Kepler, Ptolemy, and various other historical characters.
He posts silly prophecies and claims, and even at times posts his own "kill file list" which has become so large that it's unlikely he even *sees* anyone else s posts anymore.
Some Classic examples of Danny's failed prophecies
(Danny's "prophetic" words are italicized)
Danny predicts the "Great Khan of Terror":
On 15 Nov 1999 22:34:03 -0600, GOD wrote in these newsgroups:
The king of terror will come some time around the month of May in 2000.
At this time, the inner planets will all be lined up on one side of the sun with the exception of the Earth which will be directly at the opposite side.
The increased gravitational effects of the sun combined with the added pull from the other planets will have a devastating effect on the earth.
At this time, all major fault lines will rupture. California will experience the big one at this time.
Volcanic activity will increase and it is very likely that the Long Valley Caulderra will explode cataclysmicly. These types of events will be occurring at roughly the same time throughout the entire planet.
To top it off, the suns corona will be nudged away from the earth...towards the grouped inner planets, effectively creating a massive coronal hole (I.E." the "three days of darkness").
When the pull of the alignment comes to pass, the corona will snap back to the earth facing side thereby releasing a CME of massive proportions....aimed directly at planet Earth.
Believe me, there will be terror at this time.

Enjoy 1999 seventh month. It is Ethanim 2000.
you said it was last September or October,
Yes, the seventh month 1999 in the revised Roman calendar was from sunset September 10th to sunset October 10th but the first month 1999 was in the spring of 1762 BC, sunset Saturday March 24th to sunset April 22nd proleptic Julian. The seventh month Ethanim was therefore 2000, not of 1999 but FROM the first month in the YEAR 1999 of the passover. Hence, the YEAR 1999 seventh month AND seven months. See?
I let you take every day of the year 1999
The LORD granted the centuries and you did not repent. He giveth and He taketh away. You Robert, speak blasphemy of the LORD.
and you were wrong.
I am corrected by scripture--and Nostradamus was likewise.
there was no terror from the skies, no killer asteroid.
And yet again must that universal ruler of infernal hades be raised up as it is written. Beware the star in fortune opposing, in the rule of night from heaven it advances to WINNOW, "Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire" [Mat 3:12]

That makes two of us, or 6 billion of us if I'm not entirely mistaken.
At October much will be made clear
by ways and means of the elements.
I expect half the population gone,
global equalisation of temperature
and pressure, the time, a new race,
His perpetual age the moment where,
or at the place when, smoke clears.
Enjoy the fireworks!

Daniel predicts the US presidential election for 2000
On 12 Nov 2000 23:44:00 -0000, Daniel Joseph Min wrote:
The 42nd President of the United States is the very
last of all the American Presidents to hold office.
He will announce our *National Emergency* shortly,
thus will continue in the office of the President,
having already been inaugurated in due diligence
when he was elected President. Gore is still VP.
&There is no reason to repeal the 22nd amendment,
given that Mr. President William Jefferson Clinton
has been elected twice only, and no more, thus the
amendment does not apply. Neither does a term limit
apply in his case, given that this is indeed a true
state of emergency with bloody violence seen to be
escalating in the State of Florida and elsewhere,
spreading like wildfire as it is in the mid east.
Get to higher ground if you can (look at England!)
Daniel Joseph Min
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So what should you do about him?
Well, first of all, you can be pretty sure based on his success rate that anything he has to say is wrong.
Someone once said, rather well, that "there is too much Min, and not enough Nostradamus" in what he posts.
Complaining won't do much, because he's they type of individual that doesn't feel the need to explain himself.
Asking him to stop only feeds him.
complaining to his anonymous remailer service results in nothing.
About the best thing to be said, is just be aware of what a buffoon he is.
