Cheney's Lynne Problem Timothy Noah

Streak has been pestered with questions about his antipathy toward Lynne Cheney. The article above is part of Streak's problem with her. Not only is he a sensitive dog, but also one who values history. Streak thinks, and I agree, that history is not just about promoting the superiority of the American experiment, but also about analyzing deep problems in American dealings with racial, ethnic, gender, class, and environmental issues. The current Second Lady disagrees. She has written her own children's book on American history, which though I have not read, I am told has omitted many of our Nation's greater sins. Streak objects.
