Dear Undertoad:

I don't hate America! I love America!

Now some of the people in it... that's a whole 'nuther kettle of fish.

I went on a field trip with my daughter today. We went to the home of George Mason. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were frequent long-term guests there. It was really cool walking the same floors and walking into the same rooms as Washington and Jefferson.

What do you think they would think of some of the drivel that masquerades as political debate these days? Not much, I bet.

You'd be amazed, in Jefferson's case. He was a political animal of the first water.

Washington, on the other hand, was just an animal...and the best pit fighter of his day, with the possible exception of Ben "Crusher" Franklin...and he'd kill a punk for talking politics while he was dropping the mac hammer on some honey showing a little ankle.
