**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.
