History is Funny: Pimp My White House
http://historyisfunny.blogspot.com/2008/02/pimp-my-white-house.html
Thursday, February 14, 2008. Pimp My White House. I often wonder why I'm so obsessed with Presidential trivia. I suspect it's partly about all the cool stuff you get to do when you're President. And no, I don't even mean all the leader-of-the-free-world business. I mean getting to live in that gigantic, awesome house with that giant awesome office (and hey, the commute couldn't be any better! Not that I would ever want. John Quincy Adams's Billiard Table. At the time, though, popular sentiment about bill...

History is Funny: February 2009
http://historyisfunny.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 19, 2009. TV shows only I would watch. A particular joy of working where I do is that you learn something new every day. Today I learned that Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, New York Senator Chuck Schumer, and two guys in the House of Representatives are roommates when Congress is in session. I've previously told you about the Supreme Court's very similar arrangement back at the dawn of the 19th Century, and how cohousing SCOTUS would have made the best season of The Real World.

Friday, January 23, 2009. Now that my Huge Important Work Project is winding down, hopefully I'll have some energy to bring you more funny history. Today I spent some time reading up on G. Harrold Carswell. Senator Roman Hruska of Nebraska said this about Carswell: "There are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren't they? We can't have all Brandeises, Frankfurters and Cardozos and stuff like that there.". Let's hope our new president likes.

History is Funny: November 2008
http://historyisfunny.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 14, 2008. One-term veep, one-hit wonder. When Joe Biden assumes the office of the vice presidency in January, he will be the first vice president from Delaware, the first Catholic elected to the office, and the first with egregious hair plugs. All of these historic firsts pale in comparison. I bet you thought I was going to make some pithy comment about Obama's historic election, didn't you? Well, as awesome as that is, I'm taking this in a totally different direction.). What's in a name?

History is Funny: October 2008
http://historyisfunny.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2008. Funny history is uncovered daily in my office, it's just a matter of recording it. Let's see if I can get back in the habit. Happy Halloween, readers - all two of you. Enjoy this photo of the Kennedy children's creep-tastic 60s Halloween garb. Thursday, October 30, 2008. We Can Dig It. Back in the late 90s, Warner Brothers Animation created a history-themed cartoon series called Histeria. Masterminded by the same wacky minds that brought you Animaniacs. And Tiny Toon Adventures.

History is Funny: The Other OTHER White Meat
http://historyisfunny.blogspot.com/2008/04/other-other-white-meat.html
Friday, April 11, 2008. The Other OTHER White Meat. History is Funny took a little unplanned vacation when the ol' day job intervened. Sorry about that. Hopefully we'll resume operations as usual soon. In the meantime, today at work I learned more than anybody strictly needs to know about the pardoning of the Presidential turkey. Did you see this picture. Where, before Bush could pardon the turkey, the turkey went for his crotch? April 23, 2008 at 2:58 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
