April 14: A raid on Spanish Treasure in America (Vol. 33, pp. 229-242)
Walter Biggs' "Drake's Great Armada" is today's reading. More imperialist rot about the English soldiers of fortune who raided Spanish settlements in the New World for fun and profit.

Currently, I am the chief editorial writer at the Brattleboro (Vt.) Reformer.
I have also been a regular contributor since 1996 to The American Reporter, the first online-only daily newspaper in America.
