It's a Wonderful Life!!! [View All]

The wife and I were watching Frank Capra's classic "It's a Wonderful Life." If you've seen the film (and I don't know many who haven't seen it) you know the characters: George Bailey, his wife Mary, the Angel Clarence, and mean old Mister Potter. Every time Potter says a line I just got the image of a man who very much resembles that miserable old miser who only cares about himself and increasing his own net gain. His actions during the War in the movie was incredibly memorable as the miserable draft officer who sends the young and healthy to war (who disappoint him by coming back alive and heroes...that was another age.) As the movie progressed even physically (and health wise) he began to resemble someone who is "near and dear" to all our hearts.

The more I thought about it the resemblance is uncanny. Would you happen to agree?





Mr. Potter the original Neocon!
