uncognitive

as a con law junkie i've always had a soft spot for madison (plus he was such a geek!), but i think hamilton really is my overall favorite. it's a shame he gets venerated and misinterpreted by modern-day republicans as the patron saint of unbridled avarice, because i think that if hamilton were alive today, he would bitchslap some neocons

i welcome your recommendations for other founding father type bios as i've really gotten in some kind of feisty 18th century mood. my father is reading one of aaon burr right now and then we're going to swap for some sweet duel action, but i can't help but think burr will be so disappointing after hamilton after that i'm taking a break to read this biography of justice douglas i got for christmas and then the nine.

it is quite interesting to see how nasty they were back then, i agree. the dueling federalist and anti-federalist newspapers particularly reminded me of political blogs today. part of what amuses me the most is that so many people sort of put our founders on a pedestal and ramble on about some mythical bygone era of america when everything was chill and everyone baked their neighbors apple pie or some shit and politicians were honest and trustworthy and it's nice to know they're basically full of shit. the only sad thing for me is that it does seem like the founding fathers were at least smarter than most of what we've got today.

seriously, my ultimate birthday party wish is for the smiths to reunite and play a private show for my friends and me at my favorite mexican restaurant, but barring that, i think an alexander hamilton impersonator is a close second.

someone here has to do this and take lots of pictures. how much can that guy really charge, anyway?

Love you ♥

hi

and thank you!

Hey man, I just wanted to thank you for the thought and effort you continually put into your newswire articles. I've always found them informative - and enjoy the hell out of reading them too.

I can tell you, sir, that after now having had something "taken to my blog," there is no recovery from that.

It pwns all!

I have taken it to your blog.
now what?

Sometimes I want to slap you.

♥

I laughed so hard at your Pac-Man pie chart, I spilled my beer. Superb

Time to update now. More cat pics please.

good lord, what have you done to yourself now?

i hope you go the whole weekend without hurting yourself!!

haha. it was more like i flashed the computer screen and told him about it. no actual pictures of actual boobs were actually involved. i am proud (?) to say that to this day, i've yet to be naked on the internet. to my knowledge, that is.

a pussyfoot handler is not quite as exotic or taxing as it might sound... you just march in the parade before or after the dancing chicks in bustiers and go-go boots... actually, i guess that is both exotic and taxing.

You don't need another excuse not to update. Update.

Oh God yes. I'll come over there on my flying Vespa and lick your ear if you do that.

Love your wishlist!

I think the second tattoo is great...but dont forget to add tribal!!!

Thanks for saying hi...come by My site sometime.

I'm perfectly willing to call you drunk in the middle of the night. My middle of the night is your crack of dawn though, so you might wanna reconsider.

i'm just happy because today i didn't wake up until 4:30 am.

Now I've just got to get a Dusty Springfield reference into a thread about anal

tell me this didn't actually happen... or if it did, it was some weird post-post-post-modern performance art piece... right?
