Sarah Palin explains Paul Revere

[Danzig]

yeah, longfellow really helped paul revere's historical stature. until that poem, he was not even a minor player. matter of fact, i recently read 'the fort' by bernard cornwell. now, it's fiction, but it has some historical figures in it, including paul revere. he's not exactly a beacon of patriotism in that book-or apparently in the real setting that was the basis of the book(the penobscot expedition). yep, longfellow did that fellow quite a favor.
in his notes at the books' end, cornwell mentions a book by david hackett fischer about paul revere's ride. fischer describes the poem as "grossly, systematically and deliberately inaccurate".

Sarah Palin as the homeschool teacher of her children - doesn't that just fill you with hope for our future generations?

I feel so sorry for the little girl Piper Palin being dragged around in public like a prop, with no attempt to let her have childhood privacy or shield her from the press.

Wow, that was bad. So Paul Revere was warning the British that "the British are coming?"

The Democrats and Obama should make sure that Palin's comments are corrected throughout all the 57 states.
