Yay! Ken Burns' Civil War is on TV!

When I was in high school, I got all 14 hours of it on VHS from my town library and watched them back-to-back. I don't know how many times I've watched the series in bits and pieces since.

Ken Burns' best documentary, by far (his photo-lingering + voice-over film technique, which works so well here, wore thin for me in his other ventures.)

I'm a little embarrassed I'll lose atheist cred for this, but 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic" always gives me goosebumps.
The green careening planet
spins blindly in the dark
so close to annihilation.

Listen. No one listens. Meow.
