I won't deny that Lenin had at least some segment of Russia that he was trying to help. But for the majority, he was just a czar by another name. Or did I miss the part where he dissolved the Russian Empire?

Plymouth? are you sure, I always thought it was at Jamestown, at least that's what I remember from 7th grade history. But of course I could be wrong.

John Smith was not at Plymouth. I have no idea what the Pilgrims were doing, but they came years after the first permenant English settlement (Jamestown). About the only thing you could credit the Pilgrims with is with the first American holiday. 'At's about it.

Ooh, righteous links! God bless the Drudge Report, eh?

I think I'm going to have to start getting all my news from Micheal Moore just to balance things out around here. At least he has a sense of humor.
