Our Liberation, Please


 I had to go get some clothes under the Shute. So, I had to pass by a portrait of my dad in chaplain's uniform, who helped liberate Norway (his own people) from the Nazis and was also hired to clean up Europe after the Nazis pillaged them.

I grabbed the book from the pantry on the way back about the tyrant who did that to Europe. Keeping informed.

So, this is our reward? I don't think so.

Cuckoo Review

 Remembering "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" today. Jack Nicholson enters the asylum pretending to be "off" and tries to transform the thinking of the inmates. He's the visionary, telling them they don't have to endure the rules of the evil head nurse. He even tries the impossible feat of lifting the water fountain as a means to escape the asylum.

The Native American in this crazy white mans' world observes. He is tall and strong. He appears to be sane and stable. When Jack is finally defeated by the backward electric shock treatment, the Indian, out of deep compassion, performs a mercy killing. Probably out of rage, he has the power to use his strength to pull up the fountain, crash the windows, and run like a deer to freedom.

This asylum is now the theft of America. Which role will you take?
