(Note: This post will remain at the top of the page until the end of the give-away. Scroll down for newer posts.) Or a give away. The blog injuries have been healed, and although I’m still crazy busy, I need to write. And if I’m going to write, why shouldn’t I inflict it on the […]
About three years ago, I started reading biographies of the presidents. I was going along swimmingly until I met Martin Van Buren. Martin Van Buren, the 8th president, was a consummate politician.
