GeneralissiMoe

Well alrighty then, so these blog postings are discursive, jumping from topic to topic sans connective; it’s how the brain works at this age. At least it knows when to use a comma, when a period/full stop, when to engage that most useful of all punctuation, strong comma or weak period, the semicolon.

Yet, too many semicolons is like excess exclamation points: hints of insanity.

If worrying were my responsibility, it might be about Li’l Moe in NKorea, a hysterical would-be bully playing army, who loves his picture posing on a horse or leaning over a wall gazing intently through binoculars. 

Li’l Moe is ranting more and again this morning. Instead of fawning, his generals should either arrest him and put him in the nut house or send him over to one of our armed forces staff colleges where he can learn that warfare is no longer about parading tanks, missiles and nukes and standing on a dais saluting grandly. Li'l Moe continues to dress understated like Hitler; but when he promotes himself to GeeMoe and starts bidding on Gaddafi’s old zoot suits on eBay it may be time to put his name on a drone.

NASA’s answer to a large incoming meteorite: pray. Old wisdom says be careful what you pray for, you may get it. In Harry Golden’s day, Yiddish wisdom in the lower east side garment district of New York was don’t say anything that might make the Evil Eye take notice of you. The Bible promises the earth will not again be destroyed by flood, James Baldwin says The Fire Next Time. Praying against meteorites could remind Adonai Elohim of Genesis 6:5f and 6:12f.

Harry Golden said the wise life insurance salesman, not wanting to scare his client to death that the Evil Eye might take notice of him, worded his sales pitch carefully: “If, God forbid, anything should happen, wishing you long years, your family would be protected, wishing you a hundred and twenty years.” It may not be wise to start praying against meteorites. If I were God these days I would not look down and smile.
