Separation

I've got to get on another subject before my 4.5 readers think this is a religious blog rendering my rancorous reputation irreparable.

Where was I, yeah, when the City of Washington DC was just cranking up there weren't any churches. George Washington laid the corner stone of the new capital building in 1793. Congress moved in around 1800. Church services had been held in the building for some time before they rolled in. By 1837 there were over twenty churches in the city, but the Capital Building remained a very popular place of worship. In fact, church services continued there until after the War of Northern Aggression.

Facts like this really chap Progressives, ----- wait, they're changing their name "Populists"
That'll fool us won't it!
