Thumbs up "Prohibition" by Ken Burns

is pretty coll. I didn't realize the connection between the federal income tax and the passing of the 18th Amendment.

It's a really good, in depth documentary.

I also enjoyed the series. One of the guys he had on there repeatedly, Daniel Orkent, wrote an awesome book about it called Last Call that I read last year that was pretty fantastic, if you want even more information.

Uh, no, he's not. Its about how prohibition came into effect, and why it was such a colossal failure.

I meant "no, he's not in favor of prohibition." He may well be the most boring person ever, idk.

I'm pretty sure that Okrent guy is also obsessed with baseball and invented fantasy baseball or rotisserie or something like that. Maybe there's some connection between documentarians/non-fiction writers and an obsession with baseball.
