O Come Let Us Adore Thee ... Trump

poor georgie’s almanack:

Which Trump will Congress see Tuesday night?

Unstudied Retirement Trauma

poor georgie’s almanack:

Two of the most understudied trauma’s experienced by millions of men have the same name: “Shedding Of The Ties.”  

One occurs the morning after the retirement party.  

The second occurs as daily, then weakly (stet), then the final contract with officemates becomes a reality.

On the wrong track

poor georgie’s almanack:

People said, “anybody must be an idiot to want to be in Congress.” 

It took a long time but clearly we have reached a majority. 

Water

 poor georgie’s almanack:

There is a clear solution to many of the world’s most debilitating problems. 

It’s called “clean water.”

You and Ellis Island

poor georgie’s almanack:

Most of the 20-million immigrants processed at Ellis Island didn't set foot in NYC.

They were herded onto ferries headed for the not-elegant-at-all "emigrant trains" in Jersey. 

From there they scattered N, S & W. 

Over 10 million passed through just one of the stations, The Central NJ RR Terminal in Jersey City.

Life is not a joke

poor georgie’s almanack

Sound’s like the beginning of a bad joke.  

A friend of mine and his wife went on a vacation to Hawaii to get away from the tensions of Washington, DC.

Midnight in America ... Red is at the edge of the spectrum

poor georgie’s almanack:
Red is the spectrum's edge.
It is midnight in America.
We speed down a pitch-black country road.
The driver focuses on a red glow in the rear view mirror.
One passenger sleeps.
The other’s eyes are riveted on the road ahead and tightly grips the seat belt

Our upside down world

poor georgie’s almanack:

TRICKLE UP EFFECT. 

Low paid workers create high paid jobs for their bosses.

Buck

poor georgie’s almanack:

Worldwide, not just in Washington, too many politicians have a different understanding of what the sign President Harry Truman kept on his White House desk really meant.

New Year

poor georgie’s almanack: 

IN RE: What my cousin calls the “goyisha” New Year.  

Christian calendars start with birth of Jesus. 

Jewish Calendars about 3760 BCE, a couple centuries after Creation. 

Buddha died 2561 years ago, which Thailand dates as year 1, Sri Lanka as year zero.

Go figure!
