This week's episode focuses on the duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr that took place on the morning of July 11, 1804. Hamilton publicly denounced Burr's intentions and motivations for running for president, and apparently when a little too over-the-top for Burr to just let the insults slide. For those of you not too familiar with the details the story, I am going to let the tale unfold as it was meant to be this week....drunk as shiite. Alexander Hamilton is played by Michael Cera, enjoy!

Tuesday with VBS.tv: Drunk History; The Duel of Hamilton and Burr
I have to admit that this series cracks me up more than any other in the Vice lineup right now. There are several more, and I will be posting them throughout the weeks. Of course we will eventually go back to traveling the crazy parts of the world no one else sees, but for a little while let's take a good hard look at American history through rose colored shot glasses.
