Deficit spending

Deficit spending.... taxes on the well to do ..Joe Biden’s Delaware seat up for a gig in witchcraft and Governor Palin’s endorsement by the alleged Boston Tea Party..Paul Revere Johnny Tremain not to be found..... jumping ship.

II

Another gypsy in disguise reading tea leaves. The classroom exhibitionist longing for recognition in the Delaware reality scene.

Unlike General George crossing the river in the middle of those ice floats.... his bedraggled (“schmata”) coat fluttering in the wind.......a Joey Bishop haberdashery from Hollywood and Vine not having the General’s time of day.......

III

“What hath become of public discourse, Brethen.” asked Elmer Gentry (Burt Lancaster) Bela Lugosi as Dracula practicing witchcraft on the electorate....without a license.

Is there no decency, Senator McCarthy? Painting Helen Gahagan as a Commie.

J. Edger Hoover not being able to place his win place and show bets on the ponies at Del Mar.

His Post& Paddock tout sheet caught in the maelstrom of a Doctor Frankenstein “Igor” gone bananas .


*******

The public be damned.

Say it aint so, Sarah

Crossing the Delaware, September 19,2019

What price hath sanity?

1 Day of infamy 9/11/2001....2010


What price hath sanity? Playing out a Elmer Gantry Pentecostal flock of 50 humans and their minister feeding into his earliest yearnings for recognition in the classroom.... morphing thru his aging into convoluted brain waves across six continents.

II

Is this William Jennings Bryan’s sound and fury for the Bible Belt’s take of how evolution should be taught in those same regimented classrooms our minister sat at his desk buying into William Jennings pathology.

Frederic March without Florence Edridge? Indeed!

Where is our Clarence Darrow ? Spenccr Tracy advocating open mindedness and a decency calming the anguish and despair of heart broken survivors....parents uncles aunts brothers sisters sons and daughters.... grandchildren..

Their memories of those 2700 plus mortals who were ambushed in the aftermath of the twin tower cold blooded mayhem. The flower petals floating in the pool... the snap shots before evil struck.

Let those convoluted brain waves think it thru with a quiet mind and a non aggressive

stance...... instead of lashing out as the Fuhrer( Charlie Chaplin) burning the books as an aftermath of Kristalnacht’s maddening conspiracy.

III

Our better selves are called upon to recognize the risks that demagoguery can do in this struggle where humans in and out of uniform are at stake in a ideologue of suicide bombers. .

Cambodia Vietnam Korea the 39th parallel... Chinese hordes behind the line......

IV

Calibrating with the law of depreciating returns as Roger Federer saw in his semi final demise...his vision of a “Greek god” ending.

Being tested by his nemesis. .. the 23 year old Serb... third ranked Novak Djokovic wasn’t sleep walking his own aggressive dream.......

Federer taking nothing for granted in his ...... was eked out of a berth in the finals. Fighting it out in 5 sets the Serb won seven five in the 5th.....reaching deep into his soul for the controlled power of a Pancho Gonzales and the inevitable “w”.

Give someone else a chance, Roger. As someone else said the ferocity of a 29 year old genius’s perfection gives way to its evanescence, .a metaphor for our own ephemeral lives.

Right mom? Right

You’re a class act and have nothing more to prove (Kim Clijt4ers)

The Big Apple’s 9/11 into the United States Open’s own.....Flushing Meadows. 2010.

Notwithstanding their convoluted brain waves

Notwithstanding their convoluted brain waves...all the big boys......the Bard Goethe Schiller


Leo Tolstoy Rudyard Kipling Joseph Conrad were in a state of wonder, watching Mayor Obama and President Bloomberg tee off at Cape Cod’s eighteen hole fairways..............

Hey hold the presses. A Fr4eudian slip of a bran wave.....President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg by golly. Our minor planet Earth may be in its own whirling dervish rut but Juipiter is still humming strongly like the Guarnerno quarter 41 years into strumming Mozart

or Ravel (with influences from Debussy (au contraire, Faure).

“Fore”

II

Meanwhile Paul Allen, Bill Gates’s former alter ego at Microsoft, was putting up his suffocating broom of 13 billion $....

Infringement of his patents into the synergy of the binary system...those devilish 0's nd ones measuring the algorithms and access codes for the web site passwords and the intransigent internet connections.

Named in the suit were the crackling Silicon Valley big time sinecures

Social networks like Face Book and U tube... Yahoo Aol Apple and Steve Jobs ‘s I pods and scores of smart phones I phones electronic gadgetry above (gps.... transponders) and below the planet’s gig,

The stifling of individual drive. ..... the trappings dictating the traipsing.

A slam dunk

Dostoevski’s “Crime and Punishment” aghast at competitive spinoffs of Paul Allen’s own encryption codes..

What hath his scenario to do with the information highway in all its guises...the avaricious Baron Robbers of Upton Sinclair’s bottom line...... those pumping oil wells in the Dakota badlands

III

Wasn’t ex Mayor Jimmy Walker unlike Fiorello- on the make for a “ No No Nanette” chorus girl who caught his roaming eye.... the Mayor touting his companion for the leading role.

Was this unfair advantage ? Having a relationship bordering on moral turpitude??

Sister Carrie Anna Karenina Madame Bovary Stella Dallas Lorna Doone Ma Barker Bonnie of Bonnie and Clyde notoriety Camille Ninotchka Mildred Pierce Cleopatra Mary Queen of Scots Elizabeth the Virgin Queen.....

IV

What hath this primordial theory of opposites......nothing is what it is unless it’s contrasted with its opposite.

Man&Woman.

Isn’t that the bottom line asked the 2 thousand year old man high atop Dinny the dinosaur, his club held high.

V

We’re rooting for Mayor Bloomberg to prove to President Obama that the 700 million dollar award the Big Apple schools got for educational reform is not a an apparition within the grasp of only Nobel Laureates.....but tougher standards with im the pop cosmos the kids live.... can be transcended by the Mayor’s touch on the greens..
