"It's been slow going with this book, but that's largely because I don't like to feel outraged at new perspectives before I have a chance to process them. That's on me!
This is a good and important book. Still, the author is kind of a dick, and you can tell he's practiced in trolling NYT and New Yorker subscribers. It's a living!
He doesn't bother Atlantic subscribers though.
You just KNOW they eat this shit up." — Apr 10, 2021 03:14PM

“When the haughty Mussolini rose to deliver a speech, the main piazza was empty except for a collection of seedy beggars and village idiots collected by the mayor. At a reception in another town, despite the vigilance of his bodyguards, the Mafia managed to steal Mussolini’s hat.”

“Hoffa said, “Fucking Jesus turned fish into bread, and that’s about the only thing I haven’t tried. I’ve spent six hundred grand on the primaries and bought every fucking cop and alderman and councilman and mayor and fucking grand juror and senator and judge and DA and fucking prosecutorial investigator who’d let me. I’m like Jesus trying to part the Red Fucking Sea and not getting no further than some motel on the beach.”
