UK and US myths

By not bothering to teach history, 23% of the people living in the UK think Winston Churchill was a mythical figure and not a real person. The man died in 1965 so its not like it is hard to find people who were alive when he was around. But it shows the state of education and culture in the UK, they have stopped honoring their heroes out of fear of offending someone or because the hero was not perfect in the modern eyes of the public or elite.

Rosie O'Donnell is now claiming President Bush almost killed her in 2000. She was so distraught he had become the Republican nominee, she went fishing and cut herself with a knife which almost killed her. Because the evil Republicans nominating Bush, its Bush's fault she hurt herself when going fishing. Amazing.
