Commode Contemplations 2nd MVT Jerome Malitz

Back on the can again. I'm a clockwork brown, so I can engage in dilettantish pursuits with some regularity.

It's true that we once had a president who couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time. But LBJ, our thirty-sixth president, held many conferences while he was on the commode, doing two kinds of business at the same time. He even engaged notables such as Doris Kearns Goodwin and McGeorge Bundy, while on the throne.

Other presidents have proven to be even less inhibited, able to make a commode out of any room from which they could tweet.

As with the previous book, Commode Contemplations, the lighter pieces can and should be read aloud. However, other pieces here are darker.
