FROM THE AUTHOR:  Greetings all! Check out the site updates, including a link to join the mailing list for my e-mail newsletter which was released on July 1. In addition, I have a new Facebook link where you can become a fan of this site among other things, and I've also started a blog.

And check out my sponsor, Madam Wench Barbecue Sauce (in the External Links at the left or click here), and other interesting links at the left. 

Also check out the new link to a site advocating the repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment. Many historians believe that this amendment, which provides for the direct election of U.S. senators, was a death blow to the federalist system devised by our founders. Its repeal would do much to end the corruption and waste in Washington.

As always, thanks for visiting!
