Hank reminds me of Flanders on the Simpsons. When King of the Hill came out, I was prepared for the central character to be presented as an absolute idiot, made fun of and ridiculed. Over the years, I have really respected the way they portray him...Hank is sensible, and right most of the time. The show touches Texas in a loving way, pretty much as Prarie Home used to be.

This past week, they had Hank & Co. get suckered into building the set for what they learned to be a revisionist version of "The Alamo" as a stageplay. They touched so nicely on how History has changed. (My dad gave me a history book he had in high school, 1944 or so. It is incredible what we were free to say back then. God is on most pages, and of course Western Civilization is superior to that nonsense they have in the backwater countries!)

Saw that episode last night. Especially liked Hank's comment when he angrily cornered the revisionist director, "I'm gonna kick your ass, and then have a re-enactment of kicking your ass!"

That's it. I like the way they skewer PC and feminist stuff with Bobby and Peg too.

Maybe I'll catch that in reruns.

All references to God were gone by the time I got to elementary school in the '60s, and cultural relativism was just beginning.
