trinityvixenOccasionally, I intend to post a few of the more excellent tidbits from my page-a-day America: the book calendar that I got for Christmas. There've been some excellent ones so far, and I'm only on Day 6 (the best was the New Year's Day pie chart as to why democracy was in decline--the majority of people said 'because the monetary rewards weren't good enough, but it's the 8% who said they 'had a thing' that killed me). I thought I'd share the funny from today.
The Founding...Mothers?!?

Molly Hays, a/k/a "Molly Pitcher"
During the Revolutionary War, soldiers would often get very thirsty while fighting. That's where Mary Hays came in, bravely carrying pitchers of water to the soldiers, running unarmed across the battlefield as bullets and shells whizzed by her. Once during Pledge Week, the brothers made us carry thimbles full of our own urine across the Quad while screaming "Faggots!" in our faces, so I know what she went through.
