It was more Harry Reid than Obama shutting it down.

Pretty sure metrosexual lumberjack is an oxymoron.

Man, Gershwin was incredible.

Damn it, Robbins. Why do you have to up an' die every time?

Eric Owens is a wonderful bass. Too bad there isn't more of him in the Met's database. I guess that's what happens when opera is written for higher and more agile voices than his.

Oh, and China is far from being democratic. Just wanted to point that out, mister author.

Also, "Original Nation Dwellers?" How many layers of pretentious did you have to go through to come up with that?

It was at this moment I needed to double check whether the author did anything of note on January 6th. Nothing was found, so I guess I'll continue. Changing background music to Porgy & Bess. (more coherent and interesting than anything in the book so far. I don't have hope for the other 100+ pages.

Walks on, speaks poorly, blames Obama, blames the media, and walks off after a hard question? Probably the most realistic thing so far this book.

You meant lair. As in "Bond villain lair". Layer would mean a level.

Again, his wife has the right to refuse buying anything but not selling their stock?

Furthermore, how do you even get a naval ship into Minnesota without any government noticing? Only way I can think of at all is up through the Saint Lawrence Seaway in Canada, through the Erie Canal, past the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, through the locks in Sault Ste. Marie, and THEN get to Minnesota. Even as incompetent as Trump was, SOMEONE would've noticed before it can close to hitting land.

Also, why is the text so small? Was it a mistake? Was this a cost saving measure? Was it embarrassment over what the author had written?

So does he have a PhD? Did he still do his dissertation after he left for New York? How does someone go from nuclear physic doctorate to businessman inventing the pool noodle? Why did he ever need to be a businessman? Why not have him be a nuclear physicist with friends in high places that would help him get a cruiser?

80-some pages in and only now introducing a daughter?
