Boogie Man

Watched Boogie Man on BBC last weekend. Lee Atwater was a terrifyingly evil mofo, and is probably most likely responsible for the fact that W was ever elected.

Coming from a person who really likes documentaries: this is a very good documentary. My seal of approval.

This health care protest gun toting Hitler-referencing stuff is scaring the daylights out of me. A recent visit to the JFK Museum in Dallas didn’t help. Did you know that a month before JFK was killed Adlai Stevenson was assaulted by a protester in Dallas? Stevenson later said of his detractors, “I don’t want to send them to jail. I want to send them to school.” Adlai Stevenson = swoon. Smart and witty people = swoon.

You know who else equals swoon? Barney Frank.
