The actually good presidents of the United States–that state designed to be the smallest and most limited ever created which has become instead, the largest and most ubiquitous in history–are not found on the top of the consensus “presidential” historians’ lists. They are nowhere among the top 10 of the public’s vision of the best…

*available in iBookstore An indispensable tool that not only helped me ace all my tests in AP European History, but also served as a great review for THE test on MayDay. Aced it!” Norah S., high school student, Chicago, IL
To be fair, I forewarn my students that–as we begin a study of the Constitution or Gilded Age economics for that matter–I tend to act like a toddler. Like a toddler, I repeat the question “why” throughout class. “Why is the sky blue?”; “Why do blow-pops tastes so good?”; “How does one get to the…

Exceptional pilot proposal and parody of “Undercover Boss” featuring the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. The assembled team even got kicked out of the Jewel supermarket for filming in the meat section. Dedication.
Outstanding proposal as a parody of Woodrow Wilson (evil) as “The Bachelor”. Who was worse then: Juan Pablo or Woodrow Wilson?.. Either way, I loved Andi Dorfman despite the fact that it now appears that Josh Murray considers her the devil. Boy, this got really gossipy quickly.
