How weird was it that after watching '24' last night, I flipped over to my favorite crazy drama "CSI:Miami" and there was Olivia Taylor being all vulnerable as a single mom named Tonya trying to get her children back.

Somebody's agent is working hard for that 10 percent.

So last night we learned that Miss Machiavelli actually has a conscience. Fueled by the deal her mother the president made that got evil/misguided Jonas Hodges in witness protection instead of on death row, she set out to have him killed. Which, I think, gets to the issue of how we deal with terrorists -- because make no mistake Jonas is a terrorist. Our justice system allows for deal-making as one of the ways to get information and avoid torture, but is that satisfactory punishment for the crime?

If you've ever watch "CSI: Miami" you know that Eric Delko has had it bad for Calleigh Dusquene for a while.

Well, it seems the Calleigh and Eric are finally about to get together. That's what this USA Today story says.

Which means that Raleigh-born, Ravenscroft graduate Emily Proctor, who plays Calleigh, may get to show more sides of her Southern-sweet, gun-savvy character.

We hope.

The Big Bang Theory barely held my attention last night (Sheldon's friends make him go to the DMV to finally get a driver's license, wacky antics ensue ...). Yet the fast-forward button on my ordinarily reliable DVR failed to shield me from perhaps the most worst string of TV commercials since Jerry Seinfeld went shoe-shopping with Bill Gates.
