How the Huffington Post and lack of porn leads Daniele to meet Thad Russell
Vs. conservative and vs. liberal histories
Daniele’s hot mom
The twin pillars of the Protestant work ethic and the nuclear family
There’s a tiny Puritan running around inside Thad’s mind
The Tao of being a slacker
If Paris Hilton finds herself in need of a lawyer, she should call Thad
What if Puritans never defeated Thomas Morton? Drunken parties with Indians in the 1600s
The Left in the 1960s: serious socialists vs. happy hippies
Thad’s Marxist colleague: vs. sex, pro-censorship and “women on campus dress like prostitutes”
Politics and the lesser evil
If you are a woman who walks in public without a male chaperon, you wear makeup, color your hair, own property, enjoy giving or receiving oral sex, wear red dresses or own a gun… thank a hooker!
Among the first integrated places in the U.S.: brothels!
The consequences of the crackdown on prostitutes
Why Thad was fired from his academic job: “His work is inappropriate and dangerous”
God forbid you should hire someone to teach who’s actually liked by students. Hire someone with a PhD from an Ivy League school, because that’s the only thing that means something.
The joys of Muay Thai
“I’m not as bad as you are, but I’m pretty bad”
Most historians are scared of sex and hate popular culture
Jazz, Levi’s and Rock won the Cold War
“What academics are trained to do is to suck the life out of any topic”
