A Brief History of the 20th Century
Because I graduated college with a history degree and paid attention sometimes in class, I feel that it's my responsibility to educate the masses with a multi-part brief history of the world, century by century, starting with the 20th. This last century can best be defined by the man who lived through almost the entire thing: Ronald Reagan. While Reagan was alive, he protected us from national healthcare, single-handedly tore down a wall in Berlin with his bare hands, ending millennia of communism in the godless country, and tried to expand the availability of vegetables to the poor (many of whom he coincidentally invented). Some Reagan deniers might argue that he was only one of many figures that played a major role in the 20th century, but were Ghandi, Haile Selassie I, Albert Einstein, Amelia Earheart, or Eleanor Roosevelt even half as good-looking? If you doubt the completeness of my record, just look at that face, and tell him he's not your everything.
