Kids Bored With History? Try History With A FOX Attitude!

For an eerie but fascinating venture into American history, click on our no. 28 link today — it's a hilarious imagining of how FOX News would've reported various salient events — and scroll down about three-quarters of the page. There you will see America's favorite bully, a Mr. William O'Reilly, doing one of his top-of-the-program "talking points memos." As you read it, see if you can't hear the man delivering that exact line, superciliously moralizing to a politician. Odds are you will hear his voice and precise inflection in your head. Other familiar faces pop up in the parody too, like the time Geraldo Rivera kneeled down in the sand and drew a diagram of Troy, showing where the Greeks would push their enormous horse and how they'd wait till nightfall before jumping out to sack the town. We predict this site will proliferate widely on the Web, because many bloggers tend to agree that FOX keeps its "lips to the buttocks of power."
