They were too cowardly and too selfish to adhere to the principles they laid down, and, as time-servers and compromisers, they entailed upon their posterity as great a curse as could be inflicted upon any people; and I trust no child of mine will ever fail to recognize their exceeding blameworthiness, or consider a reference to it ill-timed when they are presented for the admiration of the world." I never knew that had been said, and so long ago, no less! How the mighty have fallen. It can't be repeated enough, so I repeated it. “Too long have “our Revolutionary Fathers” been held up as the noblest of patriots and the truest friends of liberty.

I don't know how popular it is these days, but back in the day, we used to go there on Saturday afternoon and get in the line that extended all the way down the pier and along the sidewalk and pound down cases of shitty beer for hours waiting our turn. We were always so fucken drunke by the time we reached the front of the line and got seated, that we were practically passing out into our fried and broiled platters while high-fiving the waitresses who would laugh their asses off at us.

The AHA was in Boston last year (well, technically *this* year), and cool it was to go to a reception in the "Bleacher Bar" underneath Fenway Park and watch snow falling into the outfield through the screened wall. (Also a kind of public history). And kudos for supporting Amtrak. It's been a special target of the right-wing crazoids ever since the first Reagan term, and it's always been a special pleasure to see their "de-funding" bills get stuffed at the legislative one-yard line. Coincidentally, I'm working (conceptually, at least) on a plan to create an Amtrak-funded "Acela Fellowship" that would allow the lucky recipient to "hop on and off" at a range of cities, free of charge for a specified period, as long as they collect evidence of proposal-appropriate archival admissions. That should get the Republican caucus boiling; although I see it as sort of the spatial equivalent of interdisciplinarity. Or whatever. Enjoy! Cool excursion, Historiann!!
