From a reader:

Jonah: Got the book. Fantastic read. I know some have been surprised by the somber tone of the work, but I did notice: “wallow in the selfish crapulence of the Roaring Twenties”. In case you said it subconciously (which I now doubt -after reading the first 150 pgs, I have to say you’re much smarter than I ever thought you were -you’ve been sandbagging), it’s from “Who shot Mr. Burns.” “…I decided to kick up my heels a little, wallow in my own crapulence”. Also the book has provided me with airtight rationale to start boozing again -perhaps the greatest service any human being could perform. William James influenced the fascist movements of the last century. He was also had a strong impact on Bill Wilson and the pioneers of Alcoholics Anonymous. Therefore AA (could have been a New Deal agency) is fascist. I can’t very well belong to a group like that. Bottoms Up,
