I am really, really looking froward to the new Ken Burns documentary series about the American Revolution.

I am definitely not looking forward to the Trump people using it as a cudgel in their stupid ****ing culture war, whinging endlessly about how woke the series is because the it has the gall and the audacity to highlight any contributions at all from women, people of color, and First Nations people. The MAGA elitists might even use the program as an excuse to put PBS into the guillotine once and for all.

It looks amazing, though.

Burns has said that this was the hardest of his films to make. There are no photographs, no living witnesses to put on screen, and a lot of what would be interesting letters and correspondence had been destroyed. Martha Washington burned all of her letters to and from George, for example.

That said, we had a chance to see a preview a couple of weeks ago. What we saw was great.  The National Park Service, Virginia 250 Committee, and the PBS station in Norfolk had the showing on the battlefield in Yorktown. They showed about an hours worth of footage, a lot of what we saw was tailored for the event so there was a lot of Yorktown footage. You can see Burns and company's fingerprints on this, it didn't seem to show any political leaning imo. But there are folks who tend to find Colonial Williamsburg a bit too woke for their tastes

I'm not up on my UVA vs VATech sports lingo, but I would imagine what she just said would be like speaking at MSU and trying to get the room to chant Go Blue! along with you.

Pretty much. admiringly it was a side remark possibly a slip. But one does not mix up rivals like that. Besides Tech played Saturday, UVa had the Friday night stampede

Why are the most homophobic and pro family values people always the ones that get outed as gay or bisexual or get caught having a threesome? We get lectured and legally regulated on what is acceptable morality and life values by people like Mr. Schriver, only to have them get caught doing what they are lecturing and legally regulating the rest of us not to do.

Psychological phenomena is called something like the "Breastplate of Righteousness"  Its a self-delusion in some cases, and in others its just "that is what happens on the DL and the rest of it is for show".   A good point of reference is the guy who wrote the book about his time in the GOP Stuart Stevens, who talked about how many of his fellow GOP operatives were gay.

Quick check on how Biden and the crew showed Hamas a masterclass when we was in office. We are so thankful for Kamala....

Christ, even Tucker Carlson sorta gets it. Even he is beginning to recognize how bad and oppressive this administration is getting under Trump. 

 

Why do you keep pining for the RW loonies?

Since Biden admin managed to keep Trumps kangaroo court trial in an ultra liberal area where they knew he didn't stand a chance and with a judge that was owned by the democrats, they should move Comey and James' trial to nice conservative rural area where they will get the same treatment.

Why do you keep pining for child perverts who walk in on teenage girls changing in the dressing room at a beauty pageant?
