Letters for George: What Are Your Innermost Thoughts About the President?

What Are Your Innermost Thoughts About the President?

Sara Huckabee Sanders, Press Secretary

What have I gotten myself into?

Defending my boss to the press

He changes his mind every second

Sean warned me that this is a mess

Rick Perry, Secretary of Energy

The Trumpster and I, we are good old boys

We’re true backers of oil and coal

We’ll soon be rid of wind and of solar

To make the rich richer — our goal

Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House

Like Tillerson said, he’s a moron

But this could be great for the House

It means we can set the agenda

That’s why I must act like a mouse

Rudy Giuliani, Personal lawyer

The Donald and I are like peas in a pod

New Yorkers, we like to spout off

So many felonies I’m trying to hide

To his credit, he has a good coiffe

Sean Hannity, Political commentator

Thanks to the president, Fox News is now king

We’re so blessed he has no information

He tunes in all day to our talk show hosts

So it’s Fox that is running the nation

Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education

We billionaires stick together

That’s why I’m in charge of the schools

My aim is to serve the religious right

Most teachers are nothing but fools

Michel Cohen, Personal lawyer

I know more than Mueller about goings-on

Many facts that I’ll never reveal

It’s true that we’re antsy about Russia

But the Stormy thing, that is surreal

Mike Pence, Vice-President

It’s true that our president is morally depraved

But so far I’ve played my cards right

I just keep quiet, put on a bland smile

With impeachment, I’ll win the whole fight

David Dukes, Louisiana politician, white supremacist, anti-Semite

These are the best times we’ve ever had

White nationalism has risen from its grave

Trump will get rid of the immigrants

It’s us white racist Christians he’ll save

Barack Obama, former President

I try to avoid foul obscenities

But this guy is clearly a (blank)

He’s cancelling everything good we achieved

And, trust me, I’m not being a crank

Vladimir Putin, President of Russia

Trump is much better than we ever had hoped

So good we made him man of the hour

The more pacts he breaks, the stronger we get

Putin Russia, a new super-power

James Comey, ex-FBI director

I released all that stuff about Hilary

But kept silent about Russian collusion

I never foresaw what a nightmare we’d have

Democracy, it’s now an illusion

Hilary Clinton, Presidential candidate

This is the worst scandal ever

I was eighty times more qualified

Trump was elected by deplorables

I went to the forest and cried

Kim Jong Un, Supreme Leader of North Korea

This strange person calls me Rocket-Man

But look at the attention I get

He’ll help me take over South Korea

He’s the most clueless president yet

John McCain, Republican senator

A terrible time to be gravely ill

I want to stand up to this tyrant

He’s dragged our party down the sewer

I’ve begged Mitch to be more defiant

Rachel Maddow, MSNBC commentator

In the boring old days no one tuned me in

But now I’ve got three million viewers

There’s crazy Trump news every single day

I love doing in the wrongdoers

Donald Trump, President

I didn’t even want to be President

But so huge that I won over Hilary

The greatest comeback in history

Now I get to ravage and pillory

CINCINNATI NEWS

CINCINNATI NEWS

According to ratings by the nonprofit Trust for Public Land, Cincinnati ranks 4th best in parks among the nation’s 100 largest cities. 88% of Cincinnati residents live within a 10-minute walk of a park. Neighborhoods where most people identify as a person of color have access to 4% less park space than those in predominantly white neighborhoods. Park amenities ranked high for Cincinnati in categories of basketball hoops, playgrounds, bathrooms, recreation, senior centers, and splash pads. Dog parks were much lower, only 1.6 dog parks per 100K people. Cities ranked higher than Cincinnati were Arlington, VA, St. Paul, MN, and Washington, D.C. (wcpo.com, 5-5-22)

EVERYDAY FOIBLES

EVERYDAY FOIBLES

I have one pair of prescription glasses for reading, one for distance (driving, movies). I also have a dozen $1.00 reading glasses from the Dollar Store so I can keep my prescription pair permanently on our dining room table. Of course I lost my distance glasses two years ago. I’ve been sure they was somewhere around the house, but I’ve scoured everywhere. Last week I got ready to go to my writers group and picked out a pair of reading glasses from my bedside table. One had orange and purple rims, one green and yellow, and one dark brown. I chose the conservative dark brown pair. At my group I tried reading with them, but everything was blurry. I was sure they weren’t Katja’s glasses, but they certainly weren’t my reading glasses. Back home Katja suggested that maybe they were my distance glasses. I looked out the window, and the house down the block was in clearer focus. So my lost distance glasses have been sitting next to my bed for the past two years.

FAMOUS POETS

FAMOUS POETS

Thomas Stearns Eliot was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1888. His father, a prosperous businessman, sent him to Milton Academy and Harvard where he excelled. At Harvard Eliot studied philosophy, earning a master’s degree under George Santayana. He then studied linguistics, poetry, and philosophy at the Sorbonne and at Oxford University, settling in England after his studies, working as a banker, and writing poetry. Eliot published his first masterpiece, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, in 1917, and he followed it with “The Waste Land” in 1922, a long poem that had tremendous impact on Western literature. Andrew Lloyd Webber adapted Eliot’s 1939 children’s book, “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats” into the stage musical “Cats”, one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history. Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1948, Eliot died in 1965. (Tessitore, Extraordinary American Writers, 2004)

MY WEEK (Mon., 4/15 - Sun., 4/21/24)

Katja had appointments with her primary care physician and pain doctor. She had a fall at T.J. Maxx, banged her head, and was taken to emergency by ambulance but turned out o.k. We toured the new Clifton Cultural Arts Center, complained that they didn’t have our name in the wall of donors. I put most of my academic library out for graduate students in preparation for moving offices at the university. We had dinner out at Longhorn Steakhouse, chop steak for me, lamb chops for Katja. I shed a tear at Mr. Bates vs. the Post Office on PBS.
