I've been downloading a series called Weeds, it's great. Sort of a darker Desperate Housewives, about a suburban housewife who turns to drug dealing to support her family after her husband dies. Rhirhi, I reckon you'd like it.
Brilliant bit on the one I just watched. One of the main characters is being drafted into the army to fight in Iraq after drunkenly signing up for the reserves to impress a girl. He's trying to figure a way out of it with his stoner council buddy.
Andy: I am not going to Iraq to fight in some bullshit war about oil money
Doug: Bullshit war? What about 9/11? Didn't Iran hide the terrorists?
Andy: ..... We're fighting a war in IRAQ. Doug. And neither country had anything to do with blowing up the world trade center
Doug: Well.... They both have sand.
Andy: Bush invaded a sovereign nation in defiance of the UN. He's a war criminal and now I'm supposed to be one of his disposable thugs with a fucking target on my head in the middle of a desert, waiting to be blown up by a car bomb rigged by a twelve year old who loved Friends and Metallica until one of our missiles blew up his house!? I don't think so!
Doug: They had weapons of mass destruction
Andy: *Shouts* THERE WERE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!
Doug: No?.. Well, whatever. Look, I've got a lot of shit to do
Andy: You name me one thing you've got to do that's more important than the corporate takeover of our democracy
Doug:... I've got to take a shit
Andy: You gotta help me man
Doug: I will. I will. I'm going to put one of those yellow ribbon stickers on my car. For you.
Andy: How can you be so blindly pro-Bush?
Doug: *thinks* I like his wife.
