Lear's Fool

Lear's fool chided the king, "Thou shouldst not have been old, till thou hadst been wise."
As we close on 40, our aim is to prod wisdom to catch up with age. We leave it to the reader to judge our success.

In The Face of Evil

I just received an email informing me that the Ronald Reagan documentary, In the Face of Evil: Reagan's War in Word and Deed, is going to be aired next Monday, Feb. 20. (Nevermind that "President's Day" is another stab at excellence in this death-by-a-thousand-cuts execution. That's a subject I'll save for George Washington's Birthday.)

Based on Peter Schweizer's biography, Reagan's War, this is an excellent documentary, providing both general and specific historical backdrop to Reagan's war against communism. You can view the trailer as well as purchase the DVD at the website above. But be advised: I just tried a couple of their links and was informed their website was overloaded. (Someone with a larger audience than I must've put the word out already.)

The documentary runs close to two hours, so those of you with TV-induced ADD might want to watch "Depraved Housewives" or something else appropriate for your maturity level. You probably won't get it anyway. For the rest of you who still retain control over your brains, it'll be aired at 10:00pm EST on TBN. If you're unable to watch it, tape it, or Tivo it, and are (A) a friend or acquaintance of mine and (B) destitute or just plain stingy, I'll buy you a copy. It won't be the first copy I've given away. It's just that important. (Besides, the DVD contains a half-dozen of Reagan's speeches in their entirety, which alone are worth the price of admission.)
