George Washington is Cash Money by Cory O'brien

George Washington is Cash Money by Cory O'brien

PREPARE TO BE BEAKED BY THE MAJESTIC EAGLE OF HISTORY

Most of us are familiar with the greatest hits and legendary heroes of US history. In George Washington Is Cash Money, Cory O'Brien, author of Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes, does away with the pomp and circumstance and calls America's history what it is- one long, violent soap opera.

In his signature clever, crude, and cuss-ridden style, O'Brien reminds us that-

. Teddy Roosevelt stopped bullets with his manly chest
. Harriet Tubman avoided danger by having prophetic seizures.
. Joseph Smith invented Mormonism by staring into a hat full of rocks.
. Billy the Kid was finally defeated by the smell of fresh bacon.

And there's plenty more Star Spangled stupidity where that came from!

Cory O'Brien is a first-class wordsmith and technojester, as well as the founder of Mythology Retold! He enjoys mythology, science fiction, and computer code, and he reads and writes them all. He's tented with gypsies, juggled for food, and traveled across the country in a vegetable-oil-powered automobile. He now resides in Chicago, where he earned his MFA in writing at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Cory's ambition is to visit Mars or, at the very least, to own a jacket constructed completely of pockets.
