Watching TV



I've met too many people like this. Nothing against those who genuinely don't like TV, but I don't believe that others care.

Flags and Trust



I've isolated the number of flags where trust should decline to be 7. If you see more than 7 flags of your country in a given speech, be wary!

FAQ

Q: What's all this then?
A: This is a webcomic dedicated to government and history. Think XKCD's art style meets American history.

Q: Is this just a ripoff of XKCD?
A: No, only the style of the drawings are a ripoff. The content is original, and the subject matter is one not covered by XKCD (at least not regularly).

Q: Who's Thomas Bailey? You?
A: No, not me. He's a renowned American historian. If you really care, try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_A._Bailey

Q: How often do you update.
A: Whenever I have an idea. I'll try to publish in regular intervals, but remember, an RSS feed is a great invention.

Q: I didn't get one of your jokes, what do I do?
A: Try googling the historical reference you missed. If it was an internet thing you didn't understand, check out http://knowyourmeme.com/ for a guide to the internet.
