Hiya!
Guess it’s time I finally upped my game and dipped my toe into the deep end of the author-blogging pool. I already blog twice-monthly over at the Sleuthsayers blog (If you’re curious, you can find my work here under the handle “Doolin Dalton.”). I wrote a couple of books about historically corrupt baddies about a decade back, and it is an area still rich for the mining.
A decade later–post-Trump presidency–some of my previous choices seem almost quaint. But perspective is everything. I think now more than ever it is important to place the current second Gilded Age in context. Because, as bad as the public corruption currently seems, to be honest, the phrase “there is nothing new under the sun” applies just as much to political corruption as it does to anything else in the human experience.
Sooooo what was old is new again. And you can tune in here every Monday for the latest edition of “The Weekly Bastard.” And with that said….
Coming soon: our first entry in the canon: Pope Stephen VII and the “Cadaver Synod.”
