&lt;blockquote&gt;A coalition of Republican attorneys general are seeking to bypass President Joe Biden’s last-minute preemptive pardon of Dr. Anthony Fauci to investigate him on a state level for his role in the COVID-19 pandemic response.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes!!! :) They should also check into the others he pardoned. Exactly what the Rule of Law is about...

PS - blog seems to be running fine - maybe a little slow at times, but I haven&#039;t had any error messages for at least 3-days now...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;The Hoffman character was based on Mike Vickers&lt;/i&gt;

sdferr:

According to wiki:
_________________________________

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Charlie befriends maverick CIA operative Gust Avrakotos&lt;/b&gt; and his understaffed Afghanistan group to find a better strategy, especially including a means to counter the Soviets&#039; formidable Mil Mi-24 Hind helicopter gunship. This group was composed in part of members of the CIA&#039;s Special Activities Division, including a young paramilitary officer named Michael Vickers. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Wilson&#039;s_War_(film)&lt;/i&gt;
_________________________________

Christopher Denham played Vickers. Philip Seymour Hoffman played Gust Avrakotos and acted up a storm.  See:

&lt;i&gt;https://youtu.be/7pVC6w-8UhM?t=64&lt;/i&gt;

BTW, this is a Mike Nichols film. Nichols directed &quot;The Graduate&quot; and &quot;Primary Colors.&quot;  Nichols is the go-to director for delineating the old sixties school of Democrat liberalism, far less toxic than the mutant Obama strain.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Re: Charlie Wilson’s War 

And it had one of Philip Seymour Hoffman&#039;s great performances as the maverick CIA operative advising Charlie Wilson (played by Tom Hanks).

&lt;i&gt;Why can’t Democrats produce guys like that anymore?
--Mike Plaiss&lt;/i&gt;

Yeah. I miss those guys too.]]></description>
