Deja Vu All Over Again  response to poor georgie about russia/crimea

(Or who says that the Holocaust has to be limited
to the Jews, the Gypsies and the Homosexuals…
there’s room for everybody)

Oh Vladimir, you are a most devious man,
Do you have your sights on the world ash can?
Or are you just into your self-righteous phase,
While all of the neighbors fear this latest craze?
 
Those amazing nukes, the Russians can boast,
May someday turn the U.S. into toast,
An American nightmare?  Are we in the way?
Can one smugly say that Crimea doesn’t pay?

Is the dreaded Cold War back here again?
Will Putin risk the lives of millions of men?
Has the old Russian bear gone a bit too far?
Are we watching a resurgence of the U.S.S.R.?

A bear and a chicken got into a fight.
The chicken clucked loudly with all of his might,
But when push came to shove in the oven you see,
The result was a burned up chicken fricassee.

A voice from the past

poor georgie’s almanack:

“A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.”

Texas Guinan, queen of NYC 1920s speakeasies.

Sometimes it is a law

poor georgie’s almanack:
What percent of our blood defines us? 
A drop, a dollop, a deciliter, to make us a Black, Jew, Scot, Native American, Latino, or you name it?
