The next two days are busy around here so I’m leaving you to your own devices: don’t make me regret it.
If you need a little something to get started let me direct you to Gerard’s eclectic collection of facts, fads and fun at American Digest. There’s tons of new stuff every day. Take yesterday for example: there’s the 1941 Billie Holliday recording of God Bless the Child along with the interesting back story on it’s inspiration.
Then, from the endless archives of Gerard’s fertile mind, there’s a reposting of PART II of GROWL - DEMOCRAT! by Gerard Allen Van der Ginsberg, (PART I here if you missed it):
What Socialist Party of lies and slavery bashed open American skulls and sucked out their freedom, brains and imagination?
Democrat! Darwinist Solitude! NEA Filth! Pelosi Perversion! Obamunist Onanism. NPR racism! Recycling Cans to find unobtainable dollars to pay off deficit trillions! Unborn children screaming silent under the D&C! Boys sobbing for fathers! Girls for mothers! Wives for husbands! Husbands for families! Impoverished old men and weeping in the parks!
Democrat! Democrat! Nightmare of Democrat! Democrat the loveless! Gone mental Democrat! Democrat the heavy aggregation of girly-men!…
Trust me, Allen Ginsberg never sounded so good.
And there’s even a tribute to our Marcus Tullius Cicero that’s certainly worthy of a read:
“Long before our own time, the customs of our ancestors molded admirable men, and in turn these eminent men upheld the ways and institutions of their forebears.
Our age, however, inherited the Republic like some beautiful painting of bygone days, its colors already fading through great age; and not only has our time neglected to freshen the colors of the picture, but we have failed to preserve its form and outlines.”
It’s quite disconcerting how routinely, and reliably, history repeats itself.
If this doesn’t guarantee peace in our time could I do this with it?
Carry on troops, I think you all know by now when you should go sit in the corner.
