Come for the Nixon-bashing...

...stay for the rat-fucking!

No, really, that's what I'll remember long after the rest of the details of Nixonland have faded from memory: rat-fucking. It doesn't mean what you think it means, it means something so much better, and it's awesome

I finished the book! Woo!

I have that book on my TBR pile. Recommended then, I guess?

Um . . . okay.
It was good to see you Saturday, btw--I'm glad you could make it! And now you know where we live, so there's no excuse! :)

Oh, definitely. It reads almost like a novel, though it's densely packed and took me forever to get through. The author seemed not to want to leave anything out--so everything got some space. As a result, it feels like a comprehensive analysis of the times as much as Nixon himself. And as the mirror of today's events, it's a scary read.

Ha! Without feiran I'm not sure I would have found your place from the train station. But yeah, it was good to see you Saturday and hang.

(And "rat-fucking" is wonderful term. Read the book! You'll know why!)

Oooh, I've been meaning to read that for a while. I take it I should? If only for the rat-fucking?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Lol, I just love the term. It's entirely appropriate and hi-larious to imagine these guys using. But yes, Nixonland is fairly engrossing, so I would recommend it highly.

Nut-cutting demands equal time!

Ah yes! The nut-cutting! The thing that doesn't interest me as much because it doesn't threaten my genitalia at all! Woo hoo, though!
