My mother is so proud.

Because despite the fact that she literally devoted her entire life to educating me and instilling an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the formation of our country and dragging me to Colonial Williamsburg like six times (all during inclement weather), when I watched the first part of the John Adams miniseries this afternoon the only thing I could think of was "Wow. This is like the seriously original Boston Legal!"

I'm kidding, of course.

Not entirely, because I did think that, right down the verbose closing argument and all they were lacking at the end was the little chat and cigar. I did enjoy it, quite a lot. Can't wait to see the rest of them.

And the attorney general was kind of hot.
