Mr. Madison’s Money
March 11, 2009Preamble to the Constitution
March 6, 2009I recently blogged about an “update” of the preamble to the Constitution that was sent to me which I found provocative and interesting, but don’t agree with 100%. Seeing the number of visits it was receiving, however, I wanted to steer people toward the original which I wholeheartedly support and can get behind 100%. And it is the one that counts, after all.

Mr. Madison’s War- The Cheapest American War in History
October 31, 2008
Even though it was pretty much a draw, and not the startling victory that was the American Revolution, the War of 1812 does have the distinction of being the cheapest in American History! According to the Bound Dragon blog, the roughly two and a half year skirmish with our former British overloards cost only half the price tag of the Mexican War, one quarter of the Revolutionary War, and nearly a hundred times less than the Gulf War. Sure, the see-saw, back and forth action allowed neither side to gather enough momentum to pull out the victory, but then President James Madison sure knew how to get the most war for the dollar!
Go here to see the list.
