Saving the Earth, 24 Hours at a Time
posted by Nate Oman
The New Republic, a serious magazine for right thinking people not noted for its humor, has a very funny article up on their website that confirms all of your suspicions about the possibilities of combining Jack Bauer, Al Gore, environmentalist jokes, and a Simpson’s writer It begins:
EPISODE 1: 12:00 AM – 1:00 AM
Int. CTU – day
JACK BAUER talks to JANIS GOLD.
JANIS GOLD
Our source tells us that the terrorists’ plan is blow up Broward Dam. This would create mass flooding, cut power to the entire state, and destroy the habitat of the tidewater goby.
JACK BAUER
Dammit! Without that goby, what will our local heron population eat?
JANIS GOLD
Try not to think about that.
JACK BAUER
I can’t help it! Every link in the food chain matters!
Jack punches his hand through a wall.
And so on. I cried during the Al Gore part…

You’re right about the “not known for its humor” part.
