A Link and a Observation

-Quick plug for my pal Abby Bollenbacher's excellent blog MISScellania, which I have long-neglected to add to my list 'o links at the side of the page (or, as those who read this blog on MySpace or Facebook know it, "that thing he's talking about which isn't there"). On the blog, Abby has posted an excellent and entertaining entry on last night's Miss America pageant, featuring her observations and commentary on the evening as it unfolded. Even as someone who is not particularly interested in the pageant world, I find Abby's writings on the subject to be very interesting, and her coverage of the pageant, stage by stage, is no exception. Check it out.

-Oh, and if Jack Bauer does indeed have a father, it stands to reason that it could only be someone as awesome as James Cromwell. The only other person who could have done the role justice might have been Donald Sutherland himself, but that level of awesome is probably too much for any one television set to stand.
