Ken Burns and Mandy Patinkin join Stephen for a two-part conversation about the flawed genius of the man who is the subject of Ken’s new PBS documentary series, “Ben Franklin.” Stick around for more from Mandy and Ken! #Colbert #KenBurns #MandyPatinkin
“You have an idea in your head, and it drops down to your heart, and you say, ‘OK, we’ll do it.'” is about as clear a definition of “doing what you love” as I’ve heard.
ReplyBen Franklin was no Isaac Newton. Gimme a break.
ReplyBen Franklin invented the library??? … I think the Ancient Sumerian’s in 2600 BC, would have something to say about that! Or the Chinese, Ancient Greeks, Roman’s. For ‘F’ sake Europe and Asia had Libraries long before America existed as a country.
ReplyBen Franklin opened America’s first circulating library.. not the same thing!
Also, the Lightening rod was invented by Akinfiy Nikitich Demido, a Russian industrialist, approximately 30 years before Ben Franklin. First used on a building called The Leaning Tower of Nevyansk…. look it up!
Also, he owned slaves for 46 years before he saw the light… Will Smith just slapped a guy to defend his wife and yet he’s scum according your values.
… Yeah, you’re right, Ben Franklin does represent America values. lol… f**ked up!

ReplyWoah Mandy take it easy on the cocaine man

ReplyBen Franklin was required reading when I was in middle school.
ReplyIz Patinkin?
ReplyThere is more than enough evidence that show that Franklin was also counter-spying for the British. I recommend you look into it.
ReplyMy name is …. You killed my “how’s your father? Prepare to Dai!”
ReplyHow many fingers did Chris Sarandon’s villain have?
Back to Ben Johnson (RIP) Six fingered Jake.
You are a dreamer you got something you believe in and that is a rare thing these days but there is a lot more to love than hot wiring.
