Mmm, crazy history teacher. Select quotes:
-The US was pretty ok with the USSR, until 1945 at which point we "realized they were evil vampires."
-"Ah, the 40's and 50's, when gender stereotypes were law!"
-"Black jack boots ROCK!"
-"You guys talk a lot when you're in groups, but you won't talk to me. I feel neglected."
-"Fat happy people don't become communists. Unless they're academics."
-On why Germany wasn't seen as part of Europe after the war: "Europe is about peace and democracy and happiness. And not gas chambers."
-On the Sex Workers Art Show: "I lived in Eastern Europe. If I'd wanted to see that stuff I'd've paid twenty bucks... And then it'd've been interactive."
-On fixing the national debt: "Let's break out the USS Iowa, stick a pirate flag on that thing, and go SACK BELGIUM."

And I wish I brought my camera to class, because he draws some great stuff on the board. Today we had a picture of Godzilla eating the Eiffel Tower, with a little cry of "sacre bleu!"

In related news, oh good, let's have another Cold War!
