Assume the Position 201 with Mr. Wuhl video (25min 48sec) is a fascinating, and usually irreverent, glimpse into our history in a very funny way. Robert Wuhl tells the stories that made up America and the stories that America made up. How Washington Irving made up the tale of Christopher Columbus telling Queen Isabella that the world was round. 'When the legend becomes Fact..., print the legend.' The legend of Paul Revere versus the legend of Israel Bissell. "A more perfect union.' All Elections are popularity contests. A gay battle cry - 'Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a pony, stuck a feather in his cap a called it macaroni.' Ever wonder why he called it 'macaroni?' And learn more about the middle finger and 'pluck you' in this hilarious video.
