    Storied History - Episode 26 - Hurricane Katrina

    This is the overly dramatic and dramaticized story of Hurricane Katrina that people have been asking me for years. This is all my own, except for the poems. It is copyrighted and I can't stop you from stealing it, but please credit me if you do.

    Storied History - Episode 25 - Rum

    Why is the rum gone? Why is the rum? Why was it everywhere so quickly? And how did rum change the course of human history? What exactly did Queen Elizabeth mean when she said "Splice the Mainbrace?" I'm drinking rum and talking about it.

    Storied History Episode 22 - The Mexican Revolution IV

    The Ending! The Finale! El Fin! La Terminación! The long delayed (sorry about that) conclusion to the Mexican Revolution. The return of Pancho Villa and Emaliano Zapata. The end of the war. I really am sorry about the delay. But here it is. This is as far as I'm going to take the story.

    The Revolution isn't over! The new President now has to contend with one of the most abhorrent people the United States ever appointed to any position. The vile and evil Henry Lane Wilson.

    Storied History - Episode 20 - The Mexican Revolution II

    Part 2 of the Mexican Revolution! The dictator overthrown. The spirits guiding the next president. The peasants rising. Pancho Villa in the North and Emiliano Zapata in the South. The next chapter in the thrilling saga of war, death, betrayal, dictators, peasants, and spirits. OK. ok. That might be a bit over the over the top, but it is a good story.
