    Back with a bang (UPDATED)

    (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 […]

Martin Van Buren, the 8th president, was a consummate politician. He was great at the backroom deals, the coalition building, the compromises that make successful politicians successful.

    Where was I?

    If you look over on my sidebar, you’ll see “The Presidential Project: reading my way through presidential biographies.” I finished the last two biographies in July. I’m finally getting around to blogging about it because I ran out the clock on library renewals. (Yes, I’m that person.) I really enjoyed the bios on our 6th […]
