I had lunch with Arthur Herman once - his college roommate is a freind of mine. Knowing my friend's interest in history, I offhandedly mentioned to him one day that I had read this absolutely fabulous book called To Rule the Waves: How the British Navy Shaped the Modern World and he responded by telling me that he's known the author for over 30 years. Sort of a weird coincidence.
Anyway we ended up at lunch, and we've corresponded a little here and there since.
I'm not sure who this Maddow person is. I think it's some peculiarly named guy on one of the liberal news channels. But whoever it is, if Arthur Herman say's he's full of it, then I believe him. And it turns out that he says that very thing.
It turns out that one of the great monuments to liberal's vision of a world filled with government infrastructure, wasn't actually built by government at all. That's right... contrary to liberals eternal claims, the Hoover Dam was actually built by private companies. That liberals have revised their version of history to exclude that fact should surprise no one. But it's a fun fact to toss out there the next time you hear this Maddow guy talk about more government funded infrastructure.

Maddow look like a guy, but in reality is just a fugly lesbian with a talk show.
Funny how the left now likes the Hoover dam. For years, hippies were pledging to have the whole thing destroyed, as it was an affront to mother-nature.
