Animal Farm, the Movie

Is Animal Farm still required reading in school, or even discussed?  I suspect it would make a good many of today's educators feel uneasy.  George Orwell was of course a socialist; prolly what we would today call a moderate Republican however. He saw Stalin and Communism for what they were, as his allegorical novel clearly shows. It's been years since I read it (high school English assignment), and never did see a film treatment until just now. This is first rate, running 71 minutes. I not only recommend it for kids age 4-80,  I suggest they view it without unsolicited comment from parents. It's message is very clear, and will last a lifetime. Henry Waxman is a pig.

Poll shows Israeli opinion of President Obama mixed(up)

Ben Smith posted this story, and now Drudge is carrying it.

More important, he did not ask the same, or even a similar, question. ”
