That boring best-selling book

Trump tweeted that Wolff's blockbuster tell-all about Trump being unfit for office and the chaotic culture in the White House is "boring" (even though he hasn't read it).  I disagreed, calling it anything but boring (even though I haven't read it) on the basis of the overwhelming interest and sales.  Here are a couple of takes from two non-practicing attorneys whose tweets I scan daily:

I guess once you've gotten through the juicy parts, any tell-all must be boring.  I haven't read one yet, but I have to think people buy them for the juicy parts, and how can you write an entire book of juicy parts about anyone?  Trump might offer the most pages of scandal, but still, a tabloid article would hold it.  You'd have to be a very good writer not to get boring writing about a disgusting shithead.  And I haven't seen any reports that Wolff is a good writer.  In fact, the opposite. 

I'll still follow Abramson's tweets on the subject, though, because I, too, want to know the juicy parts!  I just don't want to wade through a book-load of other poorly written filler to get to them.  They can't possibly be worth it.  We all know who Trump is.  We don't need to know every detail.  We need to know how to get rid of him.  Mueller's story is going to be the one to get hold of.  That's the one I would read.  (Although I wouldn't be surprised to see one from Bannon coming out before then, which, unfortunately would be on the order of Wolff's.  And, don't forget, James Comey has one coming out in May.)

I guess that's pretty much what I'm saying. 

Jesus, has it been a week?  It will eventually give way to something else Trump does to shock everybody.  Sometime soon, I imagine.  And really, what do expect?  It takes a lot to shock us these days.  That's one of the real problems with having Trump in the White House.  We no longer appreciate how wrong some things are. 

Also, the next (boring) royal wedding is coming up soon.  How long do you think that will dominate the US news cycle?  And that's not even US news.  Thoreau called it when he said most men live lives of quiet desperation.  It's still that way; it's just not as quiet as it was back then.  We have no control over our own lives.  Our "representatives" in Congress quit representing us some years ago when they began representing themselves via their megadonors. And some of us are stupid enough to think a "leader" in the White House will change that.  We turn on the TV and to whatever will distract us.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
