Anything good on TV tonight?
Well, maybe. I know it’s not the TV Guide, but there’s a lot of buzz on the wires for one docudrama, at least according to Memorandum.com:

Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

One assumes from the light blue shading of the links that you read “AmericaBlog” and “FDL,” Lex? I did, as well, and shook my head in disbelief. Knotted shorts, indeed. More like their pants are on fire.
You’re also kinder to the twits than I; I refused to link them, directing my readers to memeorandum as you did, but without specific examples.
Shipmates,
Ya know, just a few years back, there was this TV Docudrama about Reagan that got a lot of Conservatives upset. The Dems rallied and did a fott-stomping caniption about “free speech” and not “censoring” artictic liscence, etc. Went out of their way to support the “revisions” of the Reagan miniseries.
Now that the shoe is on the other foot, as it were, all of a sudden Harry Reid is using veiled threats about ABC and Disney losing their broadcast liscences if they show this docudrama……
You’ve got to ask yourselves this: Are THESE the folks you really weant in charge of our government, of protecting ALL of our Constitutional rights?
Just sayin’…..
Respects,

I did, too, Buck. Just for the entertainment that was in it. It’s a TV show, fergosh sakes. Calling attention to it was probably the worst thing they could have done. The way to deal with this would have been to let it air, and then point out how wrong it was – sunlight being the best disinfectant, and all that.
Shipmates,
I apologise for the mis-spellings in my previous post. I should have caught them earlier.
My only recourse is to blame my haste to post during half-time of the Bills/Patriots game. Priorities, etc……. Fortunately, the Patriots held on to win 19-17. Apparently in football, as in Aviation, safety is everything:)
Respects,
