Washington intrigues me as one of the most successfully manufactured personas in history. Yes, I'm being slighty cheeky, but the man was apparently a very expertly controlled emotional holocaust. Check out the Freeman one volume distillation of his original 7 volume study if you're interested in exploring the depths of the general/statesman/farmer/president's character and the minutiae of pre and post-Revolutionary politics in America. No one's really topped it. |

Ok, how about gentleman farmer? The description meant to point out a distinguishing character trait, not the venal institution of servitude which was a given among most large plantation owners. Washington was apparently preoccupied with seeds, crops and all manner of plantation innovation during his generalship and Presidency and never made a secret of it. “Slavemaster” was less a distinguishing trait than a straight-up FACT.

Considering that much of his motivation to rebel was wanting to expand into Native territory beyond the boundary set by the British and that he spent much of his presidency enforcing slave laws no I would not call him a gentleman farmer, I'd call him an exploitative invader.
**** George Washington.

Well, I guess Marnie (1964) is no kookier or less neurotic a cinematic fabrication from Hitchcock than Vertigo or Rear Window but it fits my particular kink. And when I come across a great streamer I stop whatever and watch. Wonder if its in blu-ray. R.I.P. Sean Connery |
