Remigration

Another topic I have “touched upon” is “remigration.” This word is a neologism, which means coming back to where you have been driven out.I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes.

Herbert Kuhner

grew up in the United States, associating with the New York City jazz and coffee scene in the 1950s. ". . .I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes". As a subtitle I’ve chosen “Stepping out of line,” which is a movement my feet can’t seem to avoid making.

Larry and the “Bathroom”

Senator Larry Craig of Idaho,
a Republican gay basher,
had the bad luck to play footsie
with an undercover plainclothesman,
in what is erroneously called an airport “bathroom.”
Ladies and gents, there is no tub in such locations
The word for such a venue is “toilet.”
Please excuse me for quibbling!
American Toilets
There’s no such thing as a toilet in the USA. […]

Watching the Anti-Semitic “Watch”

Herbert Kuhner
There’s an anti-Semitic website called “Jew Watch.” The gist of what it’s all about is that, wherever there’s any kind of hanky-panky on this globe, the Jew’s to blame.
Take a look at this website! It’s like Old MacDonald’s farm, only it’s not the barnyard inhabitants that are everywhere. That’s right: it’s the Jews.
According to […]

Whitey

By Herbert Kuhner
If you’re black, brown, red, yellow
or a non-Gentile,
you can’t be a WASP,
but you can be “Whitey,”
otherwise known as “The Man.”
(And of course gender

is put your own kind
behind you
and join those who formerly
put you in your place.
They need you now.
There are ticklish situations
to be […]
