In the feud between the Hatfields and McCoys, the History channel proved the winner.
A miniseries about the warring families set basic cable viewing records, according to Nielsen Co. figures the channel released Thursday.

I assume when he speaks of "a pinch of Bruce Dern" he's talking about the Dern that shot John Wayne in the back in the outstanding western, "The Cowboys" --a role that earned the then young actor death threats.
I wathced part I when it aired and finally got to see parts II and III today on demand. Just an outstanding mini-series! Berenger deserves a Golden Globe. He was fantastic. Costner, turns out, shines in westerns. Really a great genre for him and I hope he pursues more of this type of work. I've got nothing but praise for this production and now I want to watch it again!
Be very careful there. After reading just a little of her blog this clown still thinks hussein is a “constitutional lawyer” and fully qualified for his present position...
... and essentially calls everyone else a racist who disagrees with his actions.
Personally, I wouldn’t believe her if she told me the sky was blue!
May the Good Lord help you to keep afloat my brother.
