Looks like the Bicentennial of the Constitution version of the “Bicentennial Minutes” that ran on, I think, all networks [all three that is] during 1976, the American Revolution bicentennial year. I remember them quite well. Movie stars, sports figures, elected officials and cartoon characters [Bugs included] did one minute standups [so to speak] on what had happened in the US on that day one hundred years earlier. I think they all ended with the same line: “I’m [Charlton Heston/Bugs Bunny/Whoever], and that’s the way it was, one hundred years ago today.”
Didn’t recall a similar series during the bicentennial of the Constitution but, having seen this PSA, there may have been one.

Dead Link?
We've been soaking in the Bathtub for several months, long enough that some of the links we've used have gone to the Great Internet in the Sky.
If you find a dead link, please leave a comment to that post, and tell us what link has expired.
Thanks!

My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.
