As my politically themed Book Week draws to an end, I'm about to get real irritated when I talk about Nick Adams, author and toxic white male.
So, a palette cleanser before I dive into the festering swap that is this guys online persona and ideals.
Happy Veterans' Day to all who have served our country well. My favorite veteran is my Pappaw, Carl Burch, who left us way too soon in April of 1996, when I was a sophomore still sporting braces on my teeth. I miss him.
One of the last pieces of advice he gave me was "Kill 'em with kindness."
He was talking about my parents, so I'll go ahead and assume that Pappaw would be fine with me tearing Nick Adams a new rectum, which I'm about to do.

So.
The Nick Adams Twitter feed is relentless in the effect it has on my blood pressure. Here are a couple of examples of the nonsense he's spewed so far today, and the initial tweet that set me off. (I quote his tweets too often, solely to admonish him.
"Eat twice as much meat to make sure a vegan out there isn't making a difference."
"Do you identifty as an American or a Democrat? You can't be both."
"President Trump talks in hyperbole on occasion but I truly believe he has never lied to the American people."
(My retort: Someone tell this family man he needs therapy! I think he is clearly uneducated, and, if he went to college, maybe he majored in douchebaggery.)
Book I Haven't Read Yet: Some book by Nick Adam's that he claimed the former Orange POTUS personally endorsed while in office Oooooh - and this is also, according to him, the first time a sitting President has endorsed a book. (Sounds fishy.)
Why I Haven't Read It: Because Nick Adams is a tool.
In his Amazon bio, he has listed, among his achievements, the fact that Matt Bevin appointed him a Kentucky Colonel. Nick's an idiot. My husband and I are both KY Colonels. It means nothing and it's not special - it's easy to get. You basically just ask any old white man in the Commonwealth and they sign you right up.
Should You Read It: Hell no! I'm not even mentioning the title.
You might have fun following him on twitter, though. He has amassed over 400k followers. That saddens me. But, I'm one of the 403,700, because sometimes I thrive on anger, and it's enjoyable to bust his disgusting chops.
