So everyone has been gushing about the HBO series John Adams and how great it is.
I don't have HBO so I'm out of the loop.
But Wifey bought the book that the series is based on.
And I read about a third of it yesterday. And it's fantastic.
So now I'm ahead of the loop. Which means I'm better than you.
And don't get me started on Thomas Jefferson...'Mister We Want Freedom and Independence'...'Mr I Have 200 Slaves Douchebag'. And George Washington....Georgey I Have 100 Slaves and wear a fancyman wig'
And for some reason John Adams ain't on our money but these prick racist slave owners are?
John Adams is awesome. George and Thomas not so much.
.
And Ben Franklin is kind of a bumbling fool.
So To Sum Up:
Yesterday I could have watched Planet of the Apes...you know, that movie about Apes making humans their slaves but instead I read about John Adams.
You should too.
PS:I watched some of the morning news shows yesterday and Hillary was extra screachy. With that voice of hers I can picture her as the white Prissy going all Butterfly McQueeny in the White House....you know, when someone else gets elected.
Everyone in Canada has HBO.

ReplyDeleteWhat if the Beatles sang about John Adams?
ReplyDelete::stares into space::
Never mind...it's too hard.
"the long and boring road"?
ReplyDeleteNot so much that as...my American history is rough and doing Beatles songs about US presidents would require me to do research.
ReplyDeleteAnd the day I have to do RESEARCH to play the Beatles game...is the day I stop playing the Beatles game. Also, a cold day in Hell.
