You are not making sense

poor georgie’s almanack: 

We have too much unintelligible feedback.  

Our microphones are too close to our loudspeakers. 

Think about it.

Take Stock

poor georgie’s almanack:

Stock up food, water & meds. 

The new Hawaii anti-Nuke/Chemical-Biological-Cyber War plan says, upon hearing the siren warning, shelter in place. 

THEN WHAT???

Black and White, Servant and Slave

poor georgie’s almanack: 

Before 1800 over 50% of white English citizens who arrived in the original 13 colonies that became the USA were indentured servants who could be bought and sold.  

They were treated like slaves but eventually would be freed because they had contracts with their owners for a few years work.  

Unlike Africans who arrived at the same time.  

Check it out

If you believe government, science, and legit media reports are fake, please don’t believe that Mars is only planet inhabited solely by robots. 

 

Go check it out yourself.

Patience sometimes trumps patients

poor georgie’s almanack:

News is but a 1st draft of history.

Fake news may be real or not.

Don't get hooked, jump to conclusions, and lessen your chance of an "owie."

Churchill, Trump Jr, and The Big Bang Theory or visa versa

poor georgie’s almanack

The current kerfuffle over Trump Jr’s Russian meeting is like cosmologists debating the validity of The Big Bang Theory of the beginning of our Universe … for which there is no agreed-upon explanation … and conflating that theory with a quote from Winston Churchill that goes something like this: This is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, a sign that reality has become untethered from itself and we have fallen into a parallel dimension where there is no beginning or end.

subtle sports pitch

Today’s very subtle sports political-foreign policy statement. 

Atlanta Braves come to Washington to face the Nationals. 

They pitch “Newcomb.” 

Do you feel safer today?

poor georgie’s almanack:

Unintended consequences. 

Mosul recaptured! 

Will winning war with ISIS make YOU, more secure? 

Root causes remain.

July 3, 1863 ... July 4, 2017

Tonight, for the first Independence Day since moving to our 9th floor vantage point, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle. We felt like the observers in the Gettysburg Church steeple July 3,1863. We fantasized that Pickett's Charge, the climatic conclusion of arguably the most important Civil War battle, had just commenced. 

We heard booms of artillery in the mid-and-far distances. The sky was afire from a major battle ten miles due south at the National Mall. In a 160-degree arc anchored near the Mall’s Lincoln Monument, then snaking from D.C. through nearby Maryland suburbs up to Gaithersburg in the north were about eight smaller but intense battles. There were more intermittent skirmishes, probably in church and back yards. 

While the smoke of war languidly floated toward us, a few low-hanging clouds were awash in the blazing glory of colorful explosions. 

War, we are told, is hell. But on this very day, July 4, 2017, as nuclear Armageddon lurks just beyond the Pacific horizon, the fantasy of old fashioned death and destruction is breathtakingly beautiful.

A cold draft for the 4th

 poor georgie’s almanack: Korea/ISIS/Rus/China military challenge. Allies defriend. Will today’s  patriotic pol vote for a male/female #draft?

July 4, 2017

poor georgie’s almanack

Question for after a pol’s patriotic 4th of July proclamation about our country’s future.

As nations “de-friend” US (Germany yesterday)...and war clouds darken (N Korea) ... to prepare for potential disasters, will you vote to revive the draft, including our girls?

to everything turn, turn, tudrn

poor georgie’s almanack: 

Think how much better the world would be if we could just return to the level of our early 21st Century mediocrity.
