   Lincoln, yes.

   Day-Lewis, yes.

   Uncle Steven, no problem; at the very least, it will be technically flawless.

   But did you catch that the screenplay is by Tony Kushner?

     Re: Kushner.

     It’s a well known fact that there were Marxists from Germany among the Northern Army’s officers.

     I’m just sayin…

       You keep using that term, “well-known fact”…

         Oh, that’s right, the North won. I keep forgetting that well known fact. Mustn’t let the children know about the skeletons in the armory, though….

           “After the Civil War, Forty-Eighters supported improved labor laws and working conditions. They also advanced the country’s cultural and intellectual development in such fields as education, the arts, medicine, journalism, and business.”

           A wonderful bunch of human beings!

                 You can’t fool me, I KNOW you live in the People’s Republic of California. You know – that state with the Soviet animal on it (as opposed to the Muslim animal – not the elephant, by the way…)

           There once was a general named Lee
           Who was quite as polite as could be.
           One day, Grant took Lee’s sword,
           But Lee said not a word,
           Being much, much too gentlemanly.

         I like the whole “…unborn millions…Shall we stop the bleeding?”

         Yes, that’s exactly what the overbearing post-bellum federal powers have done, isn’t it?

   Hmm, that man no good, that bad man. Was Randall Wallace unavailable, or was it Spielberg’s goal to alienate half the population?

   I won’t even try to jump on a train of comments that is two or three days old, but Spielberg as murphy game is spot on. And I’d pay to see DDL in a toilet paper commercial. Because that would be funny as hell. Thanks Webb.
