I know, it's a cop-out. I have interesting content in mind, I swear! Soon!
From American Indians in Children's Literature, Michael Hicks and Curtis Acosta on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Hicks tries to explain how the not-cancelled African American studies program does not promote resentment of white people, but the cancelled Mexican American studies program did. (You know, that program which included a play by that notorious hater of white people, William Shakespeare.) Because burritos promote resentment more than slavery, or something. At least, so Hicks has heard, since he never actually attended a MA class.
I've promoted it before, but for cheap books in the US, Paperbackswap.com is pretty awesome. Postage is still relatively cheap, so you can get a big, like-new hardback for around $2.81 (or less, it it's a thin book). I think BookMooch is international, but haven't tried it myself.
Online book: Forgotten Founders: Benjamin Franklin, the Iroquois and the Rationale for the American Revolution. Funny how this never came up in 5th grade history class...
ETA: Also, We Need to Talk About Hitler is a highly entertaining book review.
