Treasury Sec. to announce Harriet Tubman will replace Jackson on the $20 bill

I sort of think we should keep Jackson.  Obviously, he did some pretty bad things, but Jacksonian Democracy and the expansion of the electorate were very important in creating the United States as a truly democratic nation.

So... I have 14 years to write a musical that will save Jackson from the axe. Who wants to help me write it?

Of course I will help.

Really, I think Jackson should stay, though we could have different versions with different people on them.

Also, it's debatable whether "All votes must be white men" is really much of an improvement over "All voters must be property owners (even when they're blacks or women)".

What?

So do you think we should have property requirements for voting.

Do you think that only white men should be allowed to vote?

I am in favor of every citizen being allowed to vote.

Jim Webb is now officially one of my all-time political heroes.

He wasn't beforehand?

I just wish he'd stayed in the race or actually campaigned from the start.
