So Anyway

I saw Revenge of the Sith.

What can I say, Anakin Skywalker is a shmuck.

Of course there are some who wish to see this film as an indictment of the present government. Particularily with this quote:

This is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause.

-- Senator Padme Amidala

Of course, apart from a National Socialist rally at Nuremburg, you can't beat a Soviet Communist Party congress for thunderous applause. Especially back in Comrade Stalin's day.

There will of course be thunderous applause when Comrade Hillary receives the nomination at the next Democratic National Convention. And I don't doubt that there will be thunderous applause should Comrade Hillary actually be elected.

And I simply can't imagine there not being thunderous applause when the long knives finally come out and the opponents of socialism, such as Mark and myself, are lined up along a ditch and shot.

But what do I know? I only read history as it actually happened.
