Oliver Stone's Untold History Of The United States on Showtime November 13, 2012 1:32 pm FrankC

I watched the first installment of Stone’s turkey and I was underwhelmed.

The only thing I learned about WWII is that Henry Wallace was the unnoticed second coming of Jesus Christ. I figured the second installment would skip to the VN era but it seems that the entire segment may be devoted to the horrendous replacement of Wallace as VP by Truman.

Have some coffee or it will put you to sleep.
