their predictions are worthless as they change as the weather - or they are really clueless or so dam perverse in an effort to defraud every one with their analysis.

200 years ago today, Aaron Burr fatally wounded Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton fired into the air on purpose but Burr had been practicing and shot to kill, sending a pistol ball more than a half-inch in diameter through Hamilton's ribs and liver and lodging it in his spine. He died after about 36 hours of great pain.

His widow lived on for more than fifty years, until she was in her nineties, always loyal to the memory of what she called "my Hamilton."

Burr went on to do many more things, including a plan to conquer Mexico and turn it into an empire with himself as emperor. He married a wealthy woman in New York City who claimed to have slept with both Washington and Lafayette, and he died soon after spending all her money.

Want an engraved likeness of Hamilton? I will sell you one for a mere $50.
