**PREPARE TO BE BEAKED BY THE MAJESTIC EAGLE OF HISTORY**
Most of us are familiar with the greatest hits and legendary heroes of US history. In *George Washington Is Cash Money* , Cory O'Brien, author of *Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes* , ** does away with the pomp and circumstance and calls America's history what it is: one long, violent soap opera. In his signature clever, crude, and cuss-ridden style, O'Brien reminds us that:
\- Teddy Roosevelt stopped bullets with his manly chest
\- Harriet Tubman avoided danger by having prophetic seizures.
\- Joseph Smith invented Mormonism by staring into a hat full of rocks.
\- Billy the Kid was finally defeated by the smell of fresh bacon.
And there's plenty more Star Spangled stupidity where that came from.
