Words and visuals would show that the current presidential election is the nastiest ever. It’s a good bet that only a few, if anyone, would disagree with that; however, history gives a glimpse of past sully that was quite eventful for the times.   1800: Jefferson vs. Adams There was inherent tension...

Much of the following content has been seen in various forms of emails that undoubtedly reached millions of people. The contents of each were billed as “Canada’s Top Ten List of America’s Stupidity.” I don’t know if it’s factually Canada’s claim, but I am sure it rings true with...
