Review of Pittsburgh

. . . in a movie plot which eerily foreshadows his Real Life descent from being a regular Joe to a personage some biographers have dubbed "the American Anti-Christ." As Charles "P!TTSBURGH" Markham, Wayne states that he's against adequate public schools, because he does not want any of the children of U.S. workers to become smart enough to see through his own shady business dealings, his habitual prevarication, his personal philandering, his work place safety violations, his exploitative wage structure, and his Solipcistic (not to mention Sociopathic) self-absorption. "In my book, every time that the clock strikes, it ought to ring like a cash register," Chuck tells his partners as he weasels out of a major medical research commitment because it might prove a tad less lucrative than his other ventures. Perceptive Americans know that President Reagan was merely Wayne's hand puppet (from beyond the grave, yet!), and that the Rich People's Party continues to implement Wayne's goals to dumb down Today's America by poisoning working people's kids with leaded water and denying funding for the fight against Zika, since both lead and Zika produce the sort of voters that the RPP can easily dupe. This movie would merit a rating of "10," except that the U.S. War Dept. Censors forced the writers to tack on a totally implausible ten-minute "happy" ending for Wayne.
