My wife Valerie and I are reading the Federalist Papers section by section, then chatting about what we’ve read. While I’d read selections at college, I hadn’t read the whole of the papers in the past. Last night I passed through Federalist Paper Number 8 (Hamilton) and thought, for anyone who hasn’t read it in the last eight years or so, it might be worth rubbing your eyes on.

Alexander Hamilton is my least favorite founding father. I’m actually reading Thomas DiLorenzo’s book “Hamilton’s Curse” right now. He’s not very kind to him.

Founding Fathers are a bit like sex… even your least favorite is still pretty good, Allan.

without going into detail, I could come up with a couple of exceptions to that rule!

Well put Duane…I think, LOL.

Founding Mothers, anyone?

I forgot to mention that Hamilton was a horrible shot.
