I remember the Vindman boys fondly. Theirs is the story of America at its best.

As @pbump of @washingtonpost unearthed today, Army Lt. Col. Vindman, who is testifying before Congress today, was featured as a young boy in the @KenBurns Academy Award-nominated doc "The Statue of Liberty" in 1985.

9. I have a working title for Ken Burns' project that will happen 10 years from now:

"American Horror Story 2 : The Rise and Fall of the Trump Family"

10. This is fairy picky

but Ken Burns generally plays his titles straight, with not a syllable emotional. Especially not if the material is painful. "The Civil War" The Vietnam War" "Jazz" "Baseball" "Country Music." The one exception I can think of is that.0/AAAAAAAAAAAAA I believe he did subtitle "The National Parks" as "America's Best Idea" - still fairly bland. I don't see him putting "Horror" into the title. Now the trailers for it - that's totally different. Fireworks there.

11. FINE....
