The Hound was off his feed on Sunday. It was the first Sunday in more than a month that HBO's "John Adams" wasn't on. Who knew one could be enthralled by our second president? Just think what HBO can do with Franklin Pierce!
Mr. Miller's history class certainly didn't spend much time on John Adams, but if the cast and program doesn't sweep the Emmys and Golden Globes next year in the miniseries category, there is no justice. If that doesn't happen, the Alien and Sedition Act should be reintroduced. Wait, isn't that what the Patriot Act is all about?
Whatever. While hoping there was more to the Adams legacy, The Hound stumbled upon The History Channel's latest offering, "Ax Men." This program has legs, unless the housing market really goes South. Much better than "Ice Road Truckers." At least it's filmed in Oregon and not Canada, where the loonie is doing much better than the greenback.
Perhaps there is a lesson in "John Adams". After all, John Adams begat John Quincy Adams. George H.W. Bush begat George W. Bush. Not all sons of presidents leave a legacy.
