History Shorts: The Hundred Years War begins (1337)

A dynastic argument between England and France resulted in a conflict that lasted over a century. By the conflict's end, feudal armies had been discredited, nationalism created, France was free of England, and standing armies became the norm.

The best videos have been taken down. But here is a lego re-creation of the Battle of Crecy.

Quotes of the Month: October 2014

Quote of the Month: "We do stories on food stamps, but only to the extent that we prove the cast that they’re needed, without also examining well-established fraud and abuse. We look at unemployment but only to the extent that we present sympathetic characters showing that benefits should be extended rather than examining, also, the escalating cost and instances of fraud. We cover minimum wage but only to the extent that we help make the case for raising it, without giving much due to the other side, which argued it will have the opposite effect than intended."


-Sharyl Attkinson

Stupid Quotes of the Month:

"To be very, very honest with you, the South has not always been the friendliest place for African-Americans," Landrieu said. "It’s been a difficult time for [President Obama] to present himself in a very positive light as a leader. It’s not always been a good place for women to present ourselves. It’s more of a conservative place, so we’ve had to work a little bit harder on that."


-Senator Mary Landrieu

"That is the worst kind of politics. And we are gonna escort whore out the door."


-South Carolina Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Vincent Sheheen

"It would be wonderful if we were able to give this man all of the power that he needs to pass the things that he needs to pass."


-Gwyneth Paltrow on Obama

　

and the rest...

"Most of our Democrat voters aren't aware there's even an election on November 4."


-Barack Obama

"I think we're looking at a 30-year war."


-Leon Panetta on ISIS

"There is a feeling that the president has given up on the big issues facing this country."


-Leon Panetta

"It's not really about asking for the raise, but knowing and having faith that

the system will actually give you the right raises as you go along."


-Satya Nadella of Microsoft

"This is the beginning of the long goodbye."


-Roger Daltrey on the 50th Anniversary tour

"It sucked."


-Michael Keaton on why he did not do Batman Forever

"Honestly, the whole thing is just showing the beginning signs of fraying around the edges. It’s a little bit old. Last summer there were five or seven different ones out."


-Robert Downey Jr

"Cocaine is terrific if you want to hang out with people you don't know very well and play ping pong all night. It's bad for almost everything else... the day after cocaine is rough."


-Amy Poehler

"Completely. Not only Mitt and I are done, but the kids are done. Done. Done. Done."


-Ann Romney

"It's time to start offending people."


-Chris Christie

"Don't touch my girlfriend."


-A stupid voter to Obama

"He's really batshit crazy."


-James Spader on Ultron

'Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs."


-Hillary Clinton

"Make no mistake, these policies [of mine] are on the ballot, every single one of them."


-Barack Obama

"This administration has been more dangerous to the press than any in American history."


-Susan Page on the Obama Administration

"The thing about Bibi is, he’s a chickenshit."

-The Obama Administration on Israeli P.M. Benjamin Netanyahu

"There are, on occasion, electoral races in which both candidates are of high quality and high integrity and conduct a tough but fair campaign about the issues. Fair-minded voters have a difficult choice, but they can know that, no matter who is elected, they'll be well represented by someone who won't embarrass their community. The election for the House of Representatives seat in the 11th New York Congressional District is nothing like that."
