I thought this one was even better than “Rosa.” I was pulled in to the story from minute one, and really don’t have any complaints. It helps that I coincidentally did some reading on the Partition of India last week, which is something that I really knew nothing about.

“I want my father back, you (dead) son of a bitch!”

Cromwell also committed genocide, so not sure why the fawning language.

Wow, I totally forgot that did a version in 2002. At the time, I opted not to watch it. Figuring that maybe I was just being a negative Nancy I just found the movie and started playing it. 5 minutes in and I want to smash my face against my coffee table until I knock myself unconscious.

Send he to do the live reporting from the front line of any storm at those exact hours you mentioned.

In my imagination, she would have to do the 3am farm report live and in she missed a day she would be in breach of contract.

If they owe her all that money, why not make her earn it? Move her to the 2am timeslot and force her to do her show live. Rename the show “NBC News Jail with Megyn Kelly” and when she goes totally nuts because no guests will appear on her show they’ll have cause to fire her without severance.

I think so. I’ve been fascinated by that story long before I started writing WW. In fact, I have two coins on my desk — one’s an authentic Buffalo nickel (I’m from Buffalo), and one’s the presidential dollar coin with Hayes, our most mediocre president. 

Fear not, I will never stop looking for ways to tie things back to Rutherford B. Hayes. (I’ve previously written about the Paraguayan War Felt Pelt mentions)

So. You are saying that Paraguay’s collective memory is quite Hayes-y.

The only lead in googling I could find was Hayes was a descendant of Revolutionary War veterans, but I found no mention if they were, you know, Quasi-War vets. But relating to land apportionment and the French via the Louisiana Purchase, Hayes was involved in the settlement of border lines between Argentina and…

Thanks for the article! This is probably the best feature the site has still going, to me.

I assume he was protected from serious injury in that situation by his gigantic, shiny brass balls.

Brits, in unison: “Yes, we ARE all British”

November of 2016.

When did fighting Nazis Germany become controversial?

Yeah, our system of checks and balances have really done a top-notch job responding to two stolen elections, a fraudulent justification for war, numerous violations of the Geneva convention, making sure the President is able to nominate Supreme Court justices per the Constitution, and enforcing the Emoluments Clause.…

True he fell victim to one of the classic blunders

But the first gas chamber didn’t go on until 1942, nine years after Hitler came to power. And the first major action against Jews (in terms of coordinated violence specifically) was Kristallnacht in 1938, five years after he took power. Deportation into ghettos didn’t even start until 1939. Comparing Trump in 2018 to…
