Daisy writes a very good blog, has a strong and loyal readership and following, although the liberal tenor of the place makes a guy like me look like Strom Thurmond.

I guess Sarah Palin pulled a Bachmann and sort of flunked her American history test regarding Paul Revere's ride. She said that he was warning the british residents, "That they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms." Most fifth graders will more accurately tell you that Revere actually warned the locals that the "British were coming." Bit of a difference, but hey.
Last week, I linked to the movie 1984, you can watch the whole movie in its entirety. Our protagonist's job is to rewrite history so that it conforms to the whims and dictates of Big Brother.
What I find amusing is that Palin's minions have taken to rewrite the Wikipedia article on Paul Revere so that it conforms with her new version of the wild ride. Priceless, you just couldn't make this stuff up!

Good Morning Robert - Not that I'm a fan of SP but even your "left coast" house organ (the LA Times) has admitted that she's right abt. PR's ride. "Liberal" commentators' universal reaction to SP just proves that they generally have all the intellectual depth of the Santa Margarita in late summer. BLR - Rich
I have read both her quote and the words of the "historian". Just goes to show that you can always find a contrarian idiot to back you up if you scratch hard enough.
If you want to believe that the primary purpose of Paul Revere's ride was to warn the redcoats, I suppose that it is your right.
