Georgie and the Big Wind

Today is the anniversary of the great tornado in Worcester, MA. It’s also the day in 1953, when the minister’s son, George Fisher, decided to try to chop up a dead cat he found with a dull axe. I went home to lunch while he was struggling with said project and that afternoon the winds picked up and the rest is history. It was surprisingly easy to convince George the next day that he was to blame tor all the destruction. Some people are just DUMB.

WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN BY WHITE PEOPLE

I was in Kenmore Square after the Red Sox won the American League pennant in 1967.

I saw what should have been a happy gathering turn ugly. Cars burned. People driving into the square overwhelmed by drunken young people climbing all over their vehicles. A cop car overturned. A news van on fire. Store windows broken. I didn’t notice large scale looting, but I just may have missed it. I helped a man who had a heart attack and was lying in the gutter. I saw one angry driver chase a crowd down the street with a screwdriver.

There was work being done on the MBTA station at the time and many materials were gathered to use as barricades a la the Paris Commune. Screams of “Fuck the Cops” rang throughout the Square. I checked every Boston paper for the next two days and there was not one mention of the “CIVIL UNREST” in Kenmore Square.

It wasn’t the only time I was present when a good thing turned into a bad thing. In that case, excessive drinking was to blame and it seemed as though the largest percentage of the crowd was out of control compared to the small segment we see in recent “riots.”

OH…and by the way…you couldn’t find a black face in that crowd without WALDO’S help.

When your head finally just explodes.

Slowly I turned.
Step by Step by Step…
I won’t gloat when he begins to crumble, because contrary to what his supporter feel, neither I or anyone I know on the left actually HATES the President. We Fear him and we wish the Hell that his family would get him some HELP.
George III was crazy and no one could do a damn thing about it.
But Crazy George didn’t work within a constitution as well defined and strong as ours.
All I want is peace and prosperity for my country within a governmental framework that treats every citizen with dignity and respect and removes the worship of dollar accumulation from its position as state religion.

  • Adam Ryan Even if it was true why come out with it while we are in an emergency. It could incite more violence. Doesn’t Mattis have a book out he is trying to promote. This would be a good way.

Will Trump punish us for abandoning him?

  • When Hitler was faced with failure at Stalingrad and watched his troops retreating west–And when he knew our Allied forces were approaching the Rhine,…he ceased to care about the Germany he had led and its people and operated with only himself in mind. He blamed the people for not being worthy of him. Just watch and see if Donald Trump doesn’t do the same when he realizes the jig is up. I’m in favor of a “show trial” to punish everyone who’s enabled him to take power including all his family members except Barron and Tiffany.

The Question was: How did white people justify Jim Crow laws?

The White Americans I grew up in the midst of leaned toward a view of blacks as a sub-species. Jim Crow laws were their equivalent roughly of not letting dogs into restaurants. In my town, there was one beach with a sign prominently displayed saying “No niggers. No dogs. No Jews. We weren’t all that far from the German people in attitude. I don’t think we’re all that different today. Do you? If I sat and thought about it long enough, I could probably provide a couple thousand words on various urban myths about what were called (the previously mentioned N word) Shines, Coons, Jigaboos, Porch monkeys and countless others. Some people I knew even put people into a descending order of human quality which determined what they’d be called. Negro and Colored was probably the kindest. This cake has been baking in the oven for a long time.

When dumbasses rag on Jews and anti-fascists.

My religion? I’m glad you asked.

Holy Mother the Church was the name of an aircraft carrier hundreds of miles at sea. Many of us climbed into our P-38’s one day and flew off to do battle under Holy Michael the Archangel. After a terrible day of fighting the Heathens, Pagans, Protestants, Israelites and all other enemies of the Holy Creed, “Extra ecclesiam nulla salus,” and running low on fuel, we returned to our convoy to find that Admiral Vatican II, with no warning to us, had repositioned the fleet and we were forced to ditch. That pretty much sums it up for me. 😠

TRUMP PRESIDENCY WAS A DREAM YOU HAD

I awoke this morning expecting to open my daily copy of the New York Herald Tribune in order to see what nonsense the White House was spewing overnight.
SURPRISE!!
I saw that President Sanders is looking forward to his 4th “State of the Union” speech when he will announce the final destruction of all nuclear weapons, a glowing report of climate change reversal and the status of the last of 10 bi-annual tax increases for the rich.
It seems that 20 years of Democratic rule since Gore’s dramatic win in Florida in 2000, have created the People’s Republic of the United States of America that had been sought for so many years after the government had been hijacked by Ronald Reagan in 1980.
Have a most excellent whatever holidays you celebrate either in private or in public and may all #Comrades of whatever background prosper and enjoy happiness as we anticipate 20/20 vision in the year ahead.
