All aboard the ugly train

Janeane Garofalo will be playing a government agent in the next season of 24, almost guaranteeing a rant about how guns are just phallic symbols and probably wouldn't even exist in a less patriarchal society.  

One of the more surprising things about this piece of news is that there's going to be another season of 24.  Does anyone really care anymore?  

Anyway, I'm sure plenty of sex starved fanboys will be up in doritos-stained arms about this one, but let's face it, Janeane Garofalo' been the model for so many of today's TV characters (Meg from Family Guy, Ugly Betty, the squinty chick from 24 a couple seasons ago) that they might as well just get the real deal. 

She harkens back to a time when people wore flannel, pop stars cared about the issues, and Lilith Fair made us all realize that sex was something that happened only between two consenting partners.

Boy, growing up in the 90s sucked, didn't it?  Its foolish games really tore me apart.
