Waiting for Guffman Reviews

A town of Blaine, Missouri is preparing for celebrations of its 150th anniversary. Corky St.Clair, an off-off-off-off-off-Broadway director is putting together an amateur theater show about the town's history, starring a local dentist, a couple of travel agents, a Dairy Queen waitress, and a car repairman. He invites a Broadway theater critic Mr. Guffman to see the opening night of the show. (Warner Bros.)

Every time VP Vance has to break a tie vote in the Senate remember that had either Mitt Romney or Joe Manchin not retired things would probably be different...

One of those nights I am very proud to be from the Midwest with the core values I learned of being principled and fair.

Stacking the deck is wrong, it is a form of cheating.

Everyone deserves their fair say, that is for what our veterans have fought, and too many died.

This man refused to bomb Hama during Hafez Assad’s 1982 massacre. He paid the price with 43 years behind bars.

Watching the Ken Burns documentary on the Dust Bowl, I am struck by how the history of the United States can be traced through a sequence of epic speculations, scams, and crashes.

This country is so much more, but it is forever scamming, forever being scammed, and forever trying to remediate the consequences. The hope and optimism that make us so capable and future-thinking also make us endlessly vulnerable.

A simmering, multi-decade rebellion finally and suddenly topples a key Iranian proxy in the same year that the U.S. and Israel come into open direct and in-direct conflict with Iran...

I'm looking forward to what later comes out about how this was engineered by the U.S. and Israeli governments.
