  3. Be Afraid (remarks by X)

    How much experience do you really have with authoritarianism? Any?

    Take it from us survivors and scholars of authoritarianism. This is exactly how it happened.

    Right about now, something terrible is happening in America. Society is one tiny step away from the final collapse of democracy, at the hands of a true authoritarian, and his fanatics. Meanwhile, America’s silent majority is still…

  7. Georgie and the Big Wind

    Georgie and the Big Wind

    Today is the anniversary of the great tornado in Worcester, MA. It’s also the day in 1953, when the minister’s son, George Fisher, decided to try to chop up a dead cat he found with a dull axe. I went home to lunch while he was struggling with said project and that afternoon the winds picked up and the rest is history. It was surprisingly easy to convince George the next day that he was to blame…

    WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN BY WHITE PEOPLE

    I was in Kenmore Square after the Red Sox won the American League pennant in 1967.

    I saw what should have been a happy gathering turn ugly. Cars burned. People driving into the square overwhelmed by drunken young people climbing all over their vehicles. A cop car overturned.

    I won’t gloat when he begins to crumble, because contrary to what his supporter feel, neither I or anyone I know on the left actually HATES the President. We Fear him and we wish the Hell that his family would get him some HELP.
    George III was crazy and no one could do a damn thing about it.

  10. Will Trump punish us for abandoning him?

    Will Trump punish us for abandoning him?

    • When Hitler was faced with failure at Stalingrad and watched his troops retreating west–And when he knew our Allied forces were approaching the Rhine,…he ceased to care about the Germany he had led and its people and operated with only himself in mind. He blamed the people for not being worthy of him. Just watch and see if Donald Trump doesn’t do the same when he realizes the jig is up. I’m in…
