I clearly learned nothing about Hawaii in school. Now I have learned we (the U.S.) were jerks and that apparently, if you support a coup, without the proper permissions, you don't get in nearly as much trouble as I would have suspected. Complete with the standard Sarah Vowell wit, although, I still say Assassination Vacation was her best work. Maybe it's just the natural truth that presidential assassinations are funnier than missionaries and island nations.
