OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

Just started this one.  Same author as Nixonland.  So far, a great read.  I recommend it.  The first few chapters contain great references to the Bisbee Deportations (a great topic to make mention of, especially around Labor Day) and the McClelland Commission.

This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

He's read enough to recommend it as a great read.  And that's not the kind of information you save until the end of the book.
