My Father-In-Law says I've got to post something from time to time here so he's got something to argue with me about, so here goes:

Let me see if I understand this correctly:

CBS is going to air a movie about the Reagans. They say that it will be historically acurate and unbiased. Will it be as unbiased as those involved in its making? Let's see...

Elizabeth Egloff, the source of the script, admits to being a democrat and also admits to inserting conversations into the script "for which there is no evidence that it ever took place." Strike One, CBS.

Australian-born Judy Davis, who portrays Nancy Reagan, has been in the papers speaking about the "ugly specter of patriotism." She also is a card-carrying liberal. Strike Two.

James Brolin portrays a Ronald Reagan who is completely controlled by a domineering wife. James, of course, is married to Barbra Streisand, one of the most outspoked critics of the former president, and she spent much time on the set of The Reagans. Brolin is known to support the same causes as his wife. Strike Three.

Of course, should we expect any less when CBS is being run by Les Moonves? Les, as we know, sat next to Hillary Clinton when her husband won the democratic nomination for president the second time. On top of the strikeout, I think we need to call in the this game on account of rain.

Stop CBS from airing "The Reagans" telefilm

Other than that, things are going well here. I've started a web site for D&D here.

Will try to post again, this time maybe less than 3 months from now!
