Sorry, but it's the truth. They got all of the way to Nawlins and Detroit before they met much effective resistance at all. Face it, guys, that is pretty embarrassing.

Didn't King George tell Madison something along the lines of, "It is but by the grace of God that you retain your Independency."?

Madison set up his "Whitehouse for a day" in Brookeville, MD, a small town near both me and Rob. My parents considered buying the old, white frame house across the street from it in the late '60's, but us kids went apoplectic because of its rural location.
