Holy hell, everyone watch the video in this article. They spend 2 minutes talking about how important the educational history DVD series is, and how they got great animators and historians to make it for them. Then they play a clip, and it's horrible. Not that you'd expect anything different, of course, but it's astonishingly bad.

edit: I also really want to know what's going on behind the camera at 4:15 when the guy suddenly looks very afraid when looking toward the producers.

Those kids had the chance to shoot Hitler and they didn't take it. Who's the real appeasers now?

Not to mention the fact that actual historians have sympathized with Chamberlain's decisions since the '50s, and a good chunk seem to agree that he made the right decision not to declare war in '38.

This is how they depict you when they like you. I want to find more of these just so I can see what kinds of caricatures they make for people they dislike. If this series is still around in 30 years they'll have some pretty choice portrayals of Obama and Pelosi, I'm sure.

I believe it was the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who said "Secularism anywhere in history is a threat to religion everywhere in history."

The event will prominently feature Kentucky in an effort to capture the historic nature of the announcement for the state. That also dovetails with the desire of Paul's budding campaign team to build a sense of state pride around his candidacy
