The Ancient War
Did dogs help us kick Neanderthal butt? Plus really old pr0n.
“Two Hundred Miles From The Nearest Town”
Roman Emperors
Ordered by how hard-core their deaths were. Hard to top Valerian.
The Crusades
…that weren’t “The Crusades.” An excerpt from Jonah Goldberg’s new book.
That “European Civil War”
Some thoughts from Mark Steyn:
It was, in a certain sense (and putting Russia and Japan to one side), a “western civil war” between the Anglophone democracies and Continental Fascists – but for some reason that’s far less congenial an interpretation to EU myth-makers.
Indeed.
“Social Darwinism”
The continuing fantasies (well, OK, lies) of the “progressives.”
Hidden History
Eagle Nests And Sheeple Stalls
Some thoughts on Napolean, power, and modern academia.
Don’t Know Much About History
In attacking his critics as “flat earthers,” Obama screws up.
Yes, people who, unlike him, actually understand the math and physics (and business prospects) of alternative and conventional energy are “flat earthers.” Once again, the man is impervious to irony. And how insufferable this kind of thing is.

Heh: “Obama in Tucson & today: “Make sure we talk with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds, you Flat-earthers.”

Where Obama gets his history.
Doesn’t explain the Rutherford B. Hayes slander though. And against a man who was wounded four times freeing Obama’s ancestors. Wait, what?
[Update a while later]
Don’t know much about energy, either. The US has sixty times as much oil as Obama claims.
It’s almost as though he just makes stuff up.

#BarackObamasPresidentialFacts:
“Purple Hayes” was the first Jim Hendrix song about a president.
They’re hilarious. I think I’ll steal MfK’s from comments and add it to the mix.
