mostly profiles of Alec Guinness

Looked like him, but it was Ron Moody.

I assume you mean in the role of Fagin.

I didn’t see the photo but this is about the David Lean 1948-49 version called Oliver Twist. The Moody version was Oliver! around 1969 and Fagin was turned into a sweet old gentleman and played by a Jew. I don’t remember any complaints about that movie but I could be wrong.

Five minutes after I posted that I wondered if maybe I had my films mixed up.

Too much corn liquor on the porch this morning, I reckon.

Wasn’t any doing of mine.
They was drunk as Lords by the time they got the mower running.

And no, I wasn’t watching ‘em.
They ain’t my kids.

The Hebrew scriptures themselves have a lot of complaints about misbehaving Jews. Idols would get them in trouble posthaste, even worse than those idols would get pagans into trouble, because the pagans didn’t know better.

In literature, stereotypes these days are a no-no. So they want to rewrite Dickens, rewrite Shakespeare and Marlowe. They want to rewrite history itself, tearing down statues that offend the current sensibilities. To jump up and down condemning Robert E. Lee as a traitor. Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson declined to hang him for treason. But the snowflakes want to dig him up and try him 160 years later, as if nobody ever noticed his role as a leader of the insurrection until they came along. This is a burning issue now? Will the leaders of a California secession movement be hung, then? Or just hang ten?
