Who better to comment than the author of your AP US History textbook: Sir Foner himself! Foner sat for a brief interview with Colbert and spoke about what it means to alter history. He wore a blue tie, and Bwog wants just go to his office hours and talk about everything. Watch the clip! Foner comes in at about three minutes in.
last november, the tx. legislature accidentally banned all marriage in the state. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-5700676-503544.html
so really, what’s the harm in a little skewed history if it would mean erasing their ineptitude from future minds?
Anti-Texas: 1930s Texas governor on not teaching foreign languages in schools: “If English was good enough for Jesus then I suppose it should be good enough for us!”
Pro-Texas: one of the best economies in the current crisis.
Anti-Texas: George. Just… George. (the lady above was clearly a distant relative of Dubya, btw.)
colbert’s interviews are always so irritating… foner is pretty funny in person but colbert’s overdominating interview style doesn’t let that shine through. give [foner] liberty!
Agreed. I just saw Colbert’s interview with the author of “The History of White People,” and it was basically five minutes of “LET HER TALK.” (though his spiel on Scots-Irish was hilarious.) The problem is that I can’t tell if he’s still emulating republican talk show programs (i.e. Bill O’Reilly never lets his interviewees talk) or if that’s really his interview style.
I lost some matte green Ray-Ban sunglasses during the last night of Senior Week revelry outside EC. If anyone finds them, take pity because they were the only thing that fools people into thinking that I’m cool. One delicious burrito dinner reward for their safe return. Email sar2160@columbia.edu if you know anything.
Lost a Black High Sierra backpack containing a white binder and a red pencil bag in Ferris Booth Dining Hall on Wednesday, April 25th, around 7:30 to 8pm. It was left on a chair in the second floor in a table around the middle of the room close to the staircase. If spotted someone taking it or found, please call immediately at 208-964-6780 or email rm2999@columbia.edu
Lost a Blackberry Bold from Verizon Wireless at ADP on Saturday night. If found please email rsf2121@columbia.edu or call 601-994-3697. There will be a $$ reward!!
These were lost potentially on philosophy lawn on the evening of April 17th. The earrings are large silver flower cutouts and the mood ring is a blue band with small flowers inset. Both are old with a lot of sentimental value attached. Would greatly appreciate their return if found. Please contact on2139@columbia.edu/
646-496-3613, will reward with home baked goods and eternal gratitude.

The only author of *my* AP US History textbook was Professor Alan Brinkley, Ph.D.
Love Foner, but Brinkley is the AP God.

We win.
Alan Brinkley = my boyfriend during my junior year.

I think it is partly his emulation of right wing talk show hosts, but this is where he should act more like a more civil person.
