He is such a sick f**k.

Some good recommendations. Thanks!

Oops, I meant "present tense," not "present text."

Although dated, Albert Castel's history of the Atlanta Campaign, which I finally read recently, did a good job of making a complex campaign much more understandable. But his style of writing in the present text was pretty distracting.

Join the hordes on FB mocking that fat hump.

Great words. So when are you Democratic leaders going to start.... leading?

Excuse me while I vomit.

I just finished the first volume of Michael Blasingame's two-volume bio of Lincoln, published almost 20 years ago. It is one of the best biographies I've ever read. It really brought home what a mess this country was in during the 1850s. I highly recommend the book.

"Wartime," the book Fussell wrote on WWII, is really good. I have, but have not read, the WWI one yet.

Wegmans is our favorite store. (Except the one in Binghamton, NY, which is ALWAYS jammed.)

NY State: 80 bucks at the Seneca res for enough gummies to get me asleep every night for five months. No permit or doctor's Rx needed.

What's legitimate about tearing down the federal government, to include the foundations?

I highly recommend the trilogy on MLK and the civil rights struggle written by Taylor Branch: Parting the Waters; Pillar of Fire; and At Canaan's Edge.

Porter! Thanks to Bill Kirchen for introducing me to his song, "The Cold, Hard Facts."

This is a deeply researched book that will tell you what you need to know about why David Crockett made that fateful trip to Texas.
