As I was flipping through the channels on the television one day I noticed an interesting cartoon being shown on one channel which teaches about our nation's founding. Since I hadn't seen a full episode I decided to search the internet to see whether I could find any of the episodes on YouTube and did. Cool. This cartoon looks to be a good way for kids to learn about our nation's founding and the issues that were involved during the first beginnings of the United States of America. It is even possible that some adults who are uneducated in the history of our nation's founding would learn a thing or two about our history from this cartoon. What do you think of the cartoon?

Beyond The Lord of the Rings: Parallels Between Characters/Themes and Actual History
One of my favorite movies or movie trilogies is The Lord of the Rings. I found a video which shows parallels between elements of Lord of the Rings (characters and themes) and actual history. This documentary shows parallels between characters in LOTR and historical figures such as: King Henry V, William Wallace, Theodore Roosevelt, Benjamin Franklin, and Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin. This video is lengthy, about 50 minutes long, is very interesting, and is well-worth the viewing. I advise you to please grab a beverage and a snack, sit back, relax while watching this documentary. Enjoy watching the show!

2 Vietnams? What?
Only if Sheila Jackson Lee had a brain.... Oh Boy! She is "a few fries short of a happy meal!" Okay... Maybe she only has the box and the toy? She really needs to go back to grade school and relearn both history and geography. Of course there is only one Vietnam. You would think that a congresswoman would know that, but I guess not.
