    Just in case anyone wants to see how I look like on the small screen...

    Obama & Teddy Roosevelt: Similar Legislative Strategies?

    Gluttons for punishment can watch the full interview on the American Forum website. A number of local PBS affiliates are also showing it on Sunday and Monday, but you'd have to check your local listings. I haven't watched yet. I'm sort of afraid to.

    PS Thanks to Douglas Blackmon, Pulitzer-winning author of Slavery By Another Name, for inviting me on the show.

    You saw it over Christmas? I thought they just finished production.

    I know we watched something with you in it that was on google plus.  We also listened to interviews too that we enjoyed. Joey went thru everything that was on google plus of yours.  At the time you were the only thing on his google plus and he was just delighted with it.  

    He got runner up with his project. He felt really good about it because the minute long recording of La Follette speech from you tube drew attention to it. The craft store had a little voice recorder that attached to poster projects which had a on button for people to push to listen.

    Now we are doing a Spanish project over spring break.  It seems to never end.

    He took down John D. Rockefeller for chrissakes.

    To call Teddy a weak president?

    No wonder folks like you need to write real history.

    Damn. hahahahah

    We (the bad guys) shall just make our own history. Why not?

    Lincoln freed the slaveowners?

    FDR freed the oligarchy?

    LBJ furthered racism?

    I get so goddamned mad sometimes.

    well we make up our own histories, I guess.

    Like I have said before in previous posts, My daughter-in-law and my son are not going to teach whatever propaganda is available to my granddaughters.

    NO WAY, as they say.

    I'm done.

    I get so mad.

    This probably has nothin to do with nothin, which is my trademark, so to speak:

    Congratulations!  My internet is at a crawl so i could only watch the short clip.  I'll watch the rest when I get on a cyber-highway somewhere.

    Gosh, you're cute!  And you say good stuff, too.

    Great job!  Wolraichamania is running wild!

    Michael, this would have been so much more effective if you had worn your color-changing collar!  

    LOL...

     

    It was excellent. You should be very proud, and we are all proud of you!
