Featured review
It's time for re-election and cliche spouting President Alan Alda is having trouble
convincing the American public why they should vote for him. Only one rule in American politics apples here. People support the commander-in-chief when
there's a war.
But shooting wars are nasty. Let it be a long standing Cold War like what we had with the Soviet Union for almost half a century. Munitions makers like G.D. Spradlin get rich and folks have their paranoia increase. So keep the paranoia going and everyone's happy.
Canadian Bacon due to the antics of our current president has become frighteningly relevant today. Funny it is, but it does give one cause for concern.
So after a hockey game in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side where by nationality the participants fought, the administration seeks to create a wave discontent with our ally Canada.
John Candy is the patriotic sheriff in Niagara County in New York where things are breaking and somehow Candy interjects himself in what is going on. Rhea Perlman is his zealous deputy who is a bit paranoid.. Several other familiar faces as well are here.
Good satire delivered here.
