Well thank goodness I read on! I was just about to give you a piece of my mind which I can ill afford to lose.

Great piece.

I'll read this ...but I am already feeling a bit jaded.

I figured the president in question would be Abe Lincoln.

I can't believe that he would ever conceive that my brothers in the press would knowingly endanger the security of the country, merely out of spite against a President of the United States that they didn't like.

Wow.

I would like to see the United States bring Canada and Mexico into the union. Later on, we can go after Cuba and Denmark (Greenland).

Or some idiot will post a preemptive reply calling someone a dumb ass. Worse yet, they could spell it "dumb ass" as one word instead of two.

"..I'll read this ...but I am already feeling a bit jaded.."

I suppose it is a bit repetitive, and I shouldn't delight in pulling the reader's leg in the first few sentences. But I can't help but marvel at the fact that history so often repeats itself, and how by such good fortune, (and the incredible character and courage of a few good men)...

...we have so far steered a course through dangerous waters.

Bah. Jefferson got ripped off. Louisiana swampland? Puh-leeze.

And don't even start me on that guy Seward. We paid the Russkis how much for a bunch of icebergs? Sheesh...

LOL. The word is that we rejected the first Russian offer. They proposed that for an extra $ 5 million, they would also haul away Massachusetts for us. We held out to pay no more than $4 mil, and look what we're stuck with now...
