Fresh on the heels of America's Bestest Holiday, it's time for another delightful visit to the world of Christianist textbooks, and as it turns out, they're talkin' about a Revolution, too. As we've noted in some of our earlier visits to wingnut history books,
As a HS English teacher, I have to say that this guy needs some variety in his assignment topics. Geez Louise, how many times can you cruise the news?? (And yeah, the analysis of the painting is about what you'd expect from teenagers, but why the heck was he using it to begin with? The mind boggles.)
(and no, although I use online stuff frequently, this is not cool. Any discussion forums for an online class can only be accessed by members of the class, and that is the way that it should be.)
I've got an ancestor who was hated for being a turncoat during the Revolution, Simon Girty. Of course, he went one better and fought alongside the First Nations people, being an adopted Seneca. He gets to be on the devil's jury in the Devil and Daniel Webster, along with Benedict.
Here I am. Yes, all it did was let them practice their religion without fear of persecution, and make it possible for them to participate in the government of the colony (Catholics back in England were not able to do so.) The C of E remained the "official" church, which must have made all the Scottish Presbyterians who settled in the Eastern Townships (including some of my ancestors) so very happy.
God help us, we moved a friend there to teach at the college. She ended up leaving after a few years as the faculty and students were a little too much like the ones on 3rd Rock.
Surely the <a href="http:\/\/www.ling.upenn.edu\/~beatrice\/humor\/clinton-deploys-vowels.html" target="_blank">Bosnians</a> must have built up a surplus by now, and can help out.
This is going to wander even further off topic, and it&#039;&#039;s getting late anyway, but: I went looking for more information on this. At around the 5th result I found some comments on the painting I found quite amusing. I&#039;m not going to post the link here, because I realized these were the comments of high school students, made in answer to an assignment and posted for all the world to see by their teacher. He is one <a href="http:\/\/clearyphs.weebly.com\/" target="_blank">Lucas Cleary</a>, and I have no compunction about posting that link. So, I have a question (which should probably be addressed to Kid Zoom): do teachers routinely do this sort of stuff? In my day, the teacher could make you an object of ridicule to the class, but that was about it. (Herbie Moore was very good at it -- some memories linger.)
Brinton.
And he oughta know.
THAT&#039;s what we need! A fence to keep out hurricanes! Has anyone gotten in touch with Haliburton or Bovis Lendlease yet?
Best meal I had on our 2000 trip to Oshkosh was the pastie in Michigan on the way home. Bless the Cornish tin miners who emigrated there!

Or le Comte de Money?
You got that right. Would upfist again.
Not just preventing them from speaking it - beating them when they did.

Meanwhile, you can always count on a Welshman to have a good vowel movement.
