It's official, my mom is old.

She's starting to have Crazy Old Lady opinions. Such as the one she informed me of last Thursday at my niece's graduation party.

"You know, Walt Disney was a communist."

Alas, my attempt to point out that the Walt Disney Corporation is about as capitalistic as they come these days failed to convince her of the merit of the early Disney animated films. ;p

He was also a misogynist and anti-semantic. On the list of bad things that Walt Disney was, I think communism is among the least worrisome.... but his early films are still brilliant :-D

Oh, and he was also terrified of mice.

You can tell your mother that when President Johnson conferred the Medal of Freedom on Walt Disney, he showed up for the ceremony wearing a "Goldwater for President" pin. Some Communist.
