What's the plans for "the holidays"--generic as in 'political'  (This  is about Sandy in NJ Nov 212 the morning after the presidential election)

Is it not wonderful as I saw  across the Hudson, the Empire State Bldg change from Red then finally Blue about 2AM last Tues nite-early Wed morning nite, and a deathly groan rose up from the sleepy men; the country's gone to Hell was the cry, not 4 more years, no no no. The Northern Kingdome has fallen to the Ass-syrians, and Obomi-nation has brought doom and gloom--
I thought of the masses without electricity, without homes, wet furniture, salty sandy streets, buried cars, dead bodies pulled from the watery graves, did they get to vote?; tunnels filled up with brackish water, but I never saw any of it except on the TV news.
The dicotomy and paradox of staying in a horse race stadium, plush setting with marble and brass bathrooms, club house for the rich, TV screens everywhere, people-bookies- gambling downstairs with their sheets, old men with bow legs who came day after day to find hope among animals that were less anxious and smarter than man---
The snow storm came the next day with wild winds to cover the sorrow but bring more misery to the homeless, the cold and weary, the despondent; the stock market dropped like a rock, along with hope, giving it's confidence to the self appointed king; cans of cut beans by the thousands got emptied and beans, binds and quartz-jartz fell in the vats to climb to 180 degrees, cornbeaf hash got mashed by the sqwashers, assembly lines of southern men&women worked from 6 to 6,  red ambulances hurried all of it away to the hungry masses---60,000+ meals--Sherman has been avenged in true Christian fashion 150 years later--

So what are we doing for --nope, won't do the generic, to hell with that; will stick with the real 'Xmas'--let us know and let's go low key. Those folks up there may not even have a key---

OK, oldad   11/14/2011
