Taking a break from depressing reading of Hillary's Choice and The Hunting of the President. Trudeau also shows the dirty business of US politics but with humour. Paying attention to what is happening in the run up to November election Hillary vs Trump and the horror show it all is and then to read the background is like inviting the Black Dog to take up residence in my head. This after the same story around the Bush years but with a lighter touch by Molly Ivins who didn't go into an exposure of the dirty tricks in detail. Heartbreaking. I am going to read all of my Doonesbury books today to relieve the stress of spending too much time in the swamp. ( )
