Scrap that recommendation re Blumenthal's book. Aristeides said this about him on that thread (I claim ignorance of Blumenthal....I have major lapses of memories during the Klintoon years....they disgusted me so much I couldn't ever watch them, listen to them, or pay too close attention while the pig was in office....he was too revolting):
Blumenthal is a notorious liar. Why would anybody pay money to read his lies? Especially when he trashes an honorable man like Michael Kelly.
