War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death -- Narrated by Sean Penn and based on the work of author Norman Solomon, WAR MADE EASY reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose 50 years of government spin and media collusion that has dragged our country into war after war from Vietnam to Iraq. Watching the Detectives: Season 1: Episode 4 -- Det. Steve DiSchiavi handles the case of a brutally murdered drug dealer. Then, after four people are butchered by a gang in a bodega robbery, Det. Mike Carrano works with the one lucky survivor to find the killers. Saturday Night Live: Season 13: Episode 7 -- Phil Donahue's guests are the incredibly popular Raisa Gorbachev, and relative loser Nancy Reagan.

Personal Quote:

[on the death of father-in-law Danny Thomas in 1991] He hit the long ball for such a long time. He would hold an audience for an unprecedented length of time in the imagery of the story he was telling, and suddenly would come the punch line, and the ceiling would crack with laughter. He wove an illusion on the stage with no props, all by himself. See more »
