So, I’m at the Cincinnati History Museum (a semi-cool converted train station), researching the Aaron Burr conpsiracy of 1805-07, only to discover:

— It’s sleeting in Cincinnati, with the temperature in the 20s tonight;

— The Reds lost their opening game this afternoon.

— The archivist at the museum chewed me out for photocopying too much stuff — you can only photocopy 50 per cent of any collection because . . . because . . . . man, that’s a stupid rule.  I thought they kept this stuff so people would come and look at it, even use it to write books!

Oh, well.  Check out my latest opinion piece on Huffington Post, aboutu the Justice Department and electing your Attorney General.
