No comment regarding the accusation, but, on a side note, I have never understood the appeal of this guy or how he has managed to stay in the public eye. He is not funny, he is not insightful, he is not charming, and he is not talented.
He is right up there with Dane Cook's appeal as something I...

re: What are your thoughts on Dr Zhivago?
Posted by John Keating on 5/7/18 at 2:56 am

It focuses on the tragedies affecting the people caught up in violent transformation of society and how they maintain relationships as well as make new connectio...

I am not an admirer of the Bush family and I opposed the Iraq War. I still would never even entertain the thoughts or notions to share those thoughts that this professor did with such callousness. The fact that this person is a professor, a teacher, saddens and angers me.
There is an escalating...

What are some of your favorites?
I offer:
[i]Amistad[/i], the scene of Senator John Calhoun and President Van Buren at the White House dinner held in honor of the Spanish Ambassador. [link=(https://www.youtube.com/...

re: SNL Presidents
Posted by John Keating on 2/21/18 at 3:11 pm
Yes, he portrayed him back in the 80s to 1990.
Phil Hartman was an amazing performer. The nuance in his Trump impersonation is so much better than Baldwin.
