Seen the previews? “HBO is doing a 7 or 8 part special on the Revolution and John Adams' role, based on the biography by David McCollough. Stars Paul Giamatti (Sideways) as Adams. Looks to be pretty kick azz. Starts March 16...” 10:44:52 AM 3/06/08 “No but I will watch” 10:50:42 AM 3/06/08 “Sounds almost as boring as "Baseball"...” 10:58:40 AM 3/06/08 “Are you kidding? That was one of his best!” 11:14:00 AM 3/06/08 “"Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide." Who said it? Some character named John Adams, back in 1814. It was in a letter he wrote. Too bad we aren't listening like we should” 11:16:35 AM 3/06/08 “I will have to go over to my friend's house to see this. It sounds like it's going to be good. I loved the book.” 7:30:40 PM 3/06/08 “John Adams was one of the most eloquent and charismatic orators of his time, but he was a failure as a President. Kind of reminds you of someone trying to win the Presidency soley on eloquence, but without ability, experience and judgment,” 9:40:04 PM 3/06/08 “...except John Adams had experience!” 4:31:51 AM 3/07/08 “Makes me wish I had HBO. Don't forget what an incredible woman John had for a wife.” 4:36:35 AM 3/07/08 “Yah. She appears to be a central figure in the production, of course!” 2:59:51 PM 3/07/08
