Ode to Strega

Words come. Words go. Sometimes frozen. Sometimes they flow.
All of us opine as though we know.

…..

Ordinarily whether i am writing a short story, starting a novel i’ll never finish or a silly little poem the words come easily. This time and only time in memory i got stuck. What luck.

Apologies Strega

Jake and Reg,

Thank you both. You have no idea how written rhythm refreshes me. If it’s good, which here, it clearly is.

As a baby, my mum discovered if she parked my pram in front of a radio, I would shut up completely, not even to express hunger. So I spent my first year or two in close proximity to the music machine.  Rhythm is everything.

Musk ox on his cox as Musk husks corn borne of wheat germ looping on earwurms. Squirmy squirms murmur sesquipedelian syllogisms signifying something so significant, so sententious, pretentious that mensch is on the bench ogling a buxom wench; hence one, two pence lended till his brother straightens, the poor hunchback, what he has you don’t lack.…[Read more]

From Pope:

“Awesome observation, it’s not just the lefty white trash.”

Hell no! I see far left and far right as mirror images although the far right is sans putative rationale. It is naked authoritarianism. Yea it capitalizes on the excesses of the far left but it has as its champion you know who. I honestly don’t think anyone who is the l…[Read more]

Ya goddamn white trash. Ya goddamn white trash.

Oops sorry i was singing.

Mirror images of stupidity far left and right. You goddamn white trash. Woops. Sorry. I got an earwurm somehow or other. On the positive side Free Palestine and globalize the intifada are intended to further the mythical state of Palestine and spread into every corner of…[Read more]

I almost posted that history vid.

The historian being interviewed seems reasonably intelligent.

Thanks, Reg 🙂

Praying is pathetic.

Prayer is neither here nor there.

Say Fuck it if you dare.

I don’t care.

Fortunately the judiciary remains strong. The legislative is mostly for sale. Cabinet is sycophants central. Prez is central mental. Ruth should have stepped down during her life while a democrat was prez. Supreme court rubber stamps central mental.

I have been thinking about authoritarianism. Pretty sure it is a safe bet to assume the hard core…[Read more]

Seems like an Israeli index fund might be a good bet.

Enco, i think you will like this article.

Following up on Pope’s cold calculations.

“Even then, cold objectivity leads me to concluding that there has never been an effectively humane solution, such that even a huge asteroid wiping out that area naturally, i.e. sans human intervention, could have been better for humanity.”

I naturally/kneejerkedly assume Pope is referring to Israel/Gaza…[Read more]

A wider Scope for Mr. Pope:

For what it’s worth, your generalization doesn’t apply to me.

I did mention once that some of Israel’s actions have the same outcomes as war crimes, but I don’t obsess over them, except for the Palestinian children who have no say.

Even then, cold objectivity leads me to concluding that there has never been an effe…[Read more]

PopeBeanie  Even then, cold objectivity leads me to concluding that there has never been an effectively humane solution, such that even a huge asteroid wiping out that area naturally, i.e. sans human intervention, could have been better for humanity. And easier for outsiders to accept. (How cold is that?)

Wow Pope, that’s some statement. Is it co…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg!!

Am not in any way negating or minimizing the significance of Trump as a criminal. But when i ask myself why his transgressions are so infuriating i think it is because his dalliances with our democracy threaten our institutions, our norms and our values. (They also illustrate how painfully stupid a significan minority of Americans are in electing…[Read more]

My quote inspired by Pope’s.

The very same who will obssess over Trump for crimes he has committed are the very same who will obssess over Israel for crimes it has not committed. And those same people will disregard the crimes of other nations and fight to preserve the right of 1 billion male Muslims to commit crimes.

Yeah to be human!

It is beyond murky to know how history will play out. Europe and USA?

Gaza may have a twinkle emitted that portends a better future. No doubt Israel and USA would back any group that stops indoctrinating the Palestinian children in extreme Jew hate. Now whether this is a power play and pretext or genuine i can’t say. But it is a reason for some…[Read more]

Strega that is certainly part of it.

One thing is clear to me if it was not already. Israel is an absolute must. No more being subject to the vagaries and vicissitudes. Discontent and political strife will always find its way to Jews as scapegoats. Nothing changes.

Wandering targets no longer…
