Fucking Deadwood
is one of the three best shows
on television today
or anytime, it's the language,
it's Shakespeare for the 2000s
and David Milch is an angry genius
of the magnitude of legend
weaving America back into itself,
standing history on its head
or back on its head.

If you can figure
out what's going on
by fighting through the language
and run the numbers on pure
emotion, you'll get it.

It's about power
but it's also about love.
I love this country, the racism,
the slavery, and the long climb
out of the shit with gold
in our eyes.

I can accept it. Al Swearingen
can accept it and so did
Seth Bullock.

Can you?
Meet the language at the source
and see if truth fucks you
up to the point where you're
just as right as America is

Problems, faith, and all.
