I’ve been reading about John Jay. Also William Maclay and Thomas Jefferson, but that’s a different book. You know who is a big John Jay fan? Hillary Clinton. Someone who calls themselves a “John Jay fan” would appear to be extremely well-qualified to — but… I digress.

Why is it that Americans seem to mostly know about Revolutionary figures who appear on our currency? Imagine if John Jay was on the nickel instead of Jefferson. I would argue that Jay did a lot more for foreign diplomacy. He also wrote the New York State Constitution!

Anyway, more later, I need lunch and my thoughts are not organized.
