Easily digestible but hilarious bathroom rea. . . ahem, excuse me, barcalounger reading.
Actually, it doesn't matter WHERE you read it. When my children ask me WHY Bush was the worst president we've ever had, it takes me quite a bit of time to explain it in a way that provides historical context. One thing you gotta hand to the guy was that he was more deceptive and polished than Tricky Dick Nixon and he seemed to displace grease better than "Teflon" Reagan. So it's not easy to boil it all down like it was for his predecessors.
Now, with this brilliant collection, there IS a way. The 5-7-5 form reins it all in. People are going out of their way to blame the current administration for the economic crisis that began with 8 dreadful years of "W." This book touches on the wars, the fear-mongering, the "a-village-in-Texas-is-missing-its-idiot" factor, the Katrina debacle, and so much more that left the whole world shaking their heads (except the diehards who voted for him. . .twice). A tickle of a read in such a traditionally contemplative form.
