I mean, Thomas Jefferson as one of the baddies? Awesome.
As long as we can avoid Nick Nolte on casting, I'm on board.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Tim, I was just commenting in Natter about reading a book on Alexander Hamilton & Aaron Burr's duel.
Dude, speaking of, did anyone hear PC on NPR, talking about Lewis and Clark? I love that era of history anyway, with the discovery and the survival and the glavin, but that was extra special yummy with a sexy cherry on top.

Statements like that lead to starring roles for Don Johnson.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
George Bush hates pudgy white guys.
If we scoop your brain out, put it in a blender, pour it back into your head, and then threaten to unplug you, he'll be on Air Force One RIGHT NOW to personally chew your Skinny Cow bars and spit them into your mouth like mama bird.
I have a melon baller if you'd like to start now.

Was that violent?

It was morally ambiguous.

But I was using a melon baller, not a knife, so it's not violence.

Gore Vidal made quite a case in his novel Burr for Jefferson as villain. Historically, in spite of saying some noble things against the institution, Jefferson did a hell of a lot to increase the power of slavery in this country. Vidal always does good historical research for his novels - which is not the same thing as saying he is always right, or for that matter that he won't ignore the facts in favor of what makes a better story. (If he wasn't willing to do that they would be biographies, not novels.)
