Da Fourf

Coupla 4th of July myths debunked HERE.

Nothing Earth-shattering or new, although I was surprised that it turns out Ronald Reagan really WAS there, and in charge.  Though it is nice to see someone else point out that the Revolution was pretty much the exact OPPOSITE of what the Tea Party wants you to believe; ie, hyper-educated fans of the Enlightenment smart enough to know their best chance of winning was to have 1) the French on their side   and 2) the British chase Washington around until they simply got tired of it and decided they needed to get back with their real first love, France.  All of America didn't rise up to "kick some British ass!!"; as is the case with most history, most people were trying to get through their daily lives.

"No no no Ben - if we give an ending time, people will leave then.  Just put PARTY YOUR ASS OFF FROM 4pm to ?"
