RIP, Larry Hagman.

    The actor died Friday, at the age of 81. Mr. Hagman is best known for his central role in I Dream of Jeanie, Dallas, and helping to smash a wooden stake through the festering Commie heart of the murderous, tyrannical Ceausescu regime: For those without video access: the short version is that the aforementioned unlamented regime actually allowed Dallas to be seen on Romanian television, | Read More »
