Happy Constitution Day!
Today is Constitution Day when we commemorate the establishment of this great nation by playing founding father bingo on college campuses across America. George Washington and company signed the Constitution into effect on September 17, 1787. No one had ever done anything like it. This country might have more issues than a Mousketeer reunion, but we’ve been held together by the words and ideas on that old parchment.
The signers spent the summer of ’87 drafting the Constitution in sweaty Philadelphia. At that draft, the Patriots took an unlikely quarterback in the 6th round who would, oh wait, that was Tom Brady. Wrong drafting. Anyway, I should probably leave all the facts to someone who actually teaches history, so why don’t you click on over to a wonderful breakdown on what one writer has called The Great American Secret.
Love the land you live in Americans. And remember how it all got started.
Life. Culture. Education.
Life as Pop Culture Professor Clay Morgan
In The Matrix, Morpheus tells Neo he can take the blue pill and go on believing whatever he wants to believe. Or he can take the red pill to stay in Wonderland and find out how deep the rabbit hole goes.
This is a red pill type site that provides information in an entertaining way. It’s about clear thinking and good writing. It’s about finding meaning amidst the absurd. It’s about humor and truth.
I’m a writer / speaker who teaches history and political courses at a couple of local colleges. Where is local, you say? Well, that would be Wonderland of course.
On topics ranging from pop culture to the meaning of life, my brain’s always poppin’. Take the red pill and unplug.
