Did you know that the Russian Revolution of 1917 occurred not because of an evil sorcerer name Rasputin who had a tiny bat friend voiced by Hank Azaria, but rather because of war profiteering, unnecessary famine, and the calculated funding of Socialist propaganda on the part of the Germans? Because not that I really thought it was the former, but I sure as fuck knew next to nothing about the latter.
Roosevelt Junior High and San Diego High, you have embarrassed me in front of the book. You will pay for this.
