Jones v. Tweed- historical SMACKDOWN

I've got Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall on the brain tonight. Why? cause i'm a nerdy history major with a crush on Alexander Hamilton. I think Tammany Hall would make a sweet movie- specifically Tammany Hall's downfall- cause' the audience loves a fell good, happy ending, up lifting story. Unfortunatly, there are about 3 or 4 of those in all of wolrd history. But Boss Tweed and gang might provide one of those...eventually I will need to read deeper into the history, get all the kinks worked out- but for now, let's just speculate over basic knowledge.

So Boss Tweed is an oversized New York douchebag (an honorific title) of considerable character running machines of political corruption all up and down the city. The setting; a chaotic and vivid immigrant-rich 1860 would also have considerable charater. But when Boss Tweed gets his grimiest and most powerful, journalist and New York Times founder George Jones relentlessly published articles that bring down Tweed and the worst of his political, grease-covered puppet game.

so what do you think? Wild, overblown charaters, a hot and spicy historical setting, New York attitude, and a handful of journalistic integrity? -I'd go see that movie! and I'd drag at least 1 desperatly bored friend to come with me.
Thats all I'm sayin for now.

So I few ground rules about my blog:
-I will not write about myself most of the time. It's awkward and I like historical anecdotes better.
-I'm going to write whatever I fancy to write about and not think about it too much...or it will never get done. So forgive errors and ramblings
-Lastly, I write in a long winded style. I cant help it, you deal with it.
