200 year old political humor

I find few things funnier than a good history joke. One of my favorite topics is the brouhaha betwixt Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr Jr. It turns out, I'm not the only one who finds this entertaining.

This is a link to a hip-hop retelling of Hamilton's story, as told by Aaron Burr. President Obama is in the audience.

This is a tweet fight, ongoing and hilarious, between Mssrs. Hamilton & Burr. It lacks historical integrity, but makes up for it in hijinx.
