Who here watches 24? It's a TV show starring Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, a federal agent working for the counter terrorist unit. It seems one day every year and a half Jack has to live a hell 24 hour where the nation's fate is thrown off balance by Arabs, and Russian extremists, and Colombian drug dealers etc... He's a sharp shooter, a quick thinker, definitely a risk taker and wow is he fast, he moves around LA at least 50 times in a span of 1 hr. He can go undercover, get arrested, hostaged, killed, and get back up without trouble.

Seeing these feats of his, I'm reminded of James Bond (Ian Fleming's 007) and Jason Bourne (Robert Ludlum's character from the Bourne Trilogy fame). The other JBs so to speak.

Who would you rather be like? Jason Bourne? Who has a safety deposit box full of money and six passports and a gun? Who has a bank account number in their hip? Who can run flat out for a half mile before his hands start shaking? He's a sharp shooter, great instincts and is in excellent shape.

How about the perennial playboy? "Bond, James Bond." Who has the coolest gadgets in the world. All the sexiest ladies lining up. Even the treacherous vixens have sex with him before they turn him over. Now who wouldn't want to be that?

I don't know, I guess I'd have to mull this over a glass of my other JB... Jim Beam whiskey.
