Erratum: It's Nathan Jones, Not Nathan Hale
I'm reading Ron Chernow's Hamilton, and Nathan Hale is featured.
But only briefly.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
You're forgiven Bernie. We all make mistakes. Now, how about writing an article on all the good things the environmentalists and gun clubs do.
ReplyDeleteI read Chernow's Washington: A Life, and am now reading Hamilton. It's a long slog. I hope to be done sometime in the next three years.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you don't like to read.
ReplyDeleteNathan Hale is the skipper from Gilligan's Island!
