There’s a review in the New Yorker about the new series The Unit, about US Special Forces and their families. Sounds interesting enough. Of course stupid CBS has to run it against House. So The Unit will be for taping and watching later. Nothing trumps Hugh Laurie.
Pop Quiz: From the following excerpt determine which word most piqued my interest:
“the man holding both leashes is Colonel Tom Ryan, the commander of the unit and the de-facto commander of his men’s families. Ryan is played by Robert Patrick (he was an F.B.I. agent in the last two seasons of “The X Files”), who cuts a trim, taut, impressive figure of a military man; the first time you see him in full dress uniform, in a meeting at the White House, your instinct is to push the bag of Doritos off your lap and snap up attention.”
If you guessed:
a) trim
b) taut or
c) impressive figure of a military man,
score zero points.
The correct answer is of course: Doritos.
Speaking of Doritos, I haven’t been paying attention to the Saddam trial lately. Must get back on track in this regard.

Huh? The word I honed in on was "leashes."
Of course it was ;)
