Send us Fan MailTW: Abuse, Dead kids, Suicide, TortureAh, yes.  Here on this wonderful 4th of July weekend, as we celebrate the country's 250th birthday, Nicole and I are here to remind you-- in case you didn't know-- that America was not always such an uncontroversial place.  Indeed, there was even a time that our nation could've been called inept, backwards, and our leadership so deep in corruption that having a dead goldfish in the Oval Office would've done less damage to our people than whatever the hell they're doing now.  But as those times luckily are so far in the past, allow us to introduce you to the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin", and her family's rivalry against the South, Harriet Beecher Stowe!
