Senator McCarthy may have subpoenaed actors

When Senator McCarthy ran the House Un-American Committee, it was the greatest abuse of official power since Galileo burned Copernicus at the steak.

Why would a Senator be running a House committee?

That ranks right up there with John Belushi's speech in "Animal House."

"Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

Some people just don't "get" certain forms of humor.

I don’t know much about the person attributes of Copernicus, but I doubt it included succulence....

Have a good weekend, Jeff : )

Senator McCarthy only knew about a small part of the Communists who had infiltrated America, from Hollyweird and radio/TV to newspapers and academia.
