    About this ebook

    From pop art to politics, our history is full of foolishness. Read this foolishness in the context of mocking the ones responsible. Discrete, easy-to-read, researched descriptions of historical events (appropriate for those times when you don't have much time to read but don't want to lose your place in the book) served with appropriate mockery of the principals responsible. Shoot, a teacher could even give each student in the class a copy with, "Here, read this" and not have to worry about a lesson plan for a while. What did I say about principals?

    Author

    Daniel Paul Davis

    2 earned degrees + 3 teaching credentials (I won't call those "earned") = knowing more than I should about a sizeable clutch of useless stuff. However, after 25 years in education, I know 2 things about education: 1) How to teach. 2) No principal wants me to actually teach. Bonus 3) They want students indoctrinated. Thus, I write. "Do you have a degree in ___________?" Nope. I have 2 degrees in English, which means I know 2 things: 1) How to read. 2) How to research. Bonus 3) I remember what I read (why do you think I majored in English?!) Thus, the work I have here presented: researching the history was not that difficult, nor was winnowing out the frou-frou. Especially easy is seeing what is frou-frou. Gossip: Married; 3 daughters, all adult; 1 grandchild; 1 worthless, illegal alien, lying ex-son-in-law; empty bank account; full belly. If I ever have a full bank account, I plan to fast.
