A Cartoon about Political Cartoons

If you haven't already been to www.harkavagrant.com, you should check it out!

Lyndon B. Johnson

Really, you gotta love him.

While avoiding a history paper, I managed to stumble across a Wikiquotes page with some interesting quotes attributed to our dear LBJ. I have no idea how accurate they are, but either way they should make you laugh.

Check them out here.

Also, here we have LBJ skillfully intimidating Richard Russell in 1964. Wouldn't want to get on his bad side. Russell was a Georgia Senator and a non-supporter of Civil Rights.

American Presidents in their Youth

Aww, look at the little presidents!

My friend Trisha sent that link to me, and I thought you all might enjoy it.

CMS was kind enough to share this comic with me:

After I did some investigating, I found these:

Howard Zinn

I love this man.

Another lunchtime tidbit. . .

Check this out. It was circulating on my Facebook newsfeed this morning, and I thought it merited reposting here for the benefit of all of you. Other than the Columbia joke - too soon? - and the fact that they misspelled "Caesar", it makes for a pretty enjoyable few minutes.

The French Revolution - Meh.

Alright, if you know me, you know that I HATE the French Revolution. You also know that I had to take a 19th Century European class in which I realized that not only do I hate European history, I hate France too. The following semester I had to study the historical methodology of the French Revolution. I will be happy if I never have to learn about that damn revolution again. YOU CAN'T APPLY ROUSSEAU TO REAL LIFE, PEOPLE! Also, the Declaration of the Rights of Man?! Ridiculous. And Unrealistic. And Evil. Technically I'm only referring to one small phrase that says "Law is the expression of the general will" which really pisses me off. It sounds like law will be made by the majority opinion, right? WRONG. It means that every one of the delightfully enlightened people that set about making laws will all come to the same conclusion, and that will be the right conclusion. Good luck with that.

ANYWAY, imagine my disappointment when I saw that the latest vlogbrothers video is all about the French Revolution. However, since this is a history blog, and I am all for educating people about history, this is a pretty good video that you should watch.
