hungoverhistorian
History as is it didn't necessarily happen.
We've all heard those boring Today In History segments on the radio. We've read similar snippets in the paper and online.
History can be hilarious. Tune in and have some fun with a satircal take on what happened on any particular day.
Byron Fayette started his broadcasting career in 1994. He started his drinking career at the age of 8. His interest in history began even earlier.
These days he wakes up early (usually in a ditch), finds his way home, and puts together five minutes of sometimes hilarious, often heartwarming, always hilarious insights about whatever happened on any particular day during the history of this crazy world.

A song a few years back was called "The Monkey Speaks His Mind." It had some "down with Whitey" vibes. Now, Southerners from the Arklatex are being vilified as racist and "unwoke". We are not racist, but we are proudly "unwoke". See, half of us Southern folk areminorities. We get just a little offended when the up-north-msnbc-media says we all hate blacks. Hell, most of us are, at least, a little black. So, now, "The Southerner Speaks His Mind." Listen and weep, you old Yanke gutter trash. Or, should I say, TRAAYYAASSHHH?
Since I lost my job (for justifiable reasons) as a history teacher at LSU, I have endeavoured to tell the (drunken) truth about the world.

It is, instead, about so many guys who went to fight for our freedom...in German, Guadalcanla, or California...over the years!
