Anybody happen to watch the mini-series "Sons of Liberty"? I caught the second and third part of it and thought it was pretty damn good. The only thing I saw that wasn't right was the use of modern day phrases like "Batshit crazy", other than that it held my interest. I cussed the TV when the commercials went too long. They ended it right after they signed the "Declaration of Independence" and the British were coming ashore in New York for the first battle for independence. I hope they have a second part in the works so I can find out how it finally ends. I need to find the first part of the series to see what started the madness.

Also, "Vikings" is coming back on on the 20th of February (another damn good show).

I watched a little here and there, about as accurate as Fox Noise but entertaining. Oh how about that Washington, some hero of the Revolution huh? He lost so many battles and ran like a rabbit from others he came THAT close to being fired. Speaking of the general with wooden teeth (another myth fabricated from the cherry tree) I had two cousins with him in the Battle of Springfield, NJ. One was one of his personal aides, the other was in the ranks, guess which one survived.
