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.

Remarkable People

On the road I have traveled, I have met many remarkable people. First I name my friend and mentor the late Emile Capouya. “Mike” encouraged me over the years and published two of my books in New York.

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 to have smooth sailing, 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.

Vienna Today

Returning to my birthplace has given me a unique opportunity of writing on Third Reich Revisionism. This topic interlinks with Violence under the Guise of Art like pieces of a puzzle to reveal how the past manifests itself in the present.

Bill and Hillary (8)

Bill and Hillary
Speaking of Bill and the Mrs.,
in my view, if he had whetted his own cigar,
we wouldn’t be in the Iraqi predicament.
Bill’s a charming and capable fellow,
but I have the old-fashioned view
that if anyone is involved in a pants-down scandal,
or any kind of scandal, he should bow out
and hand the reins over to the […]

Compassionate Rush
Will this country want to actually watch a woman get older
before their eyes on a daily basis?
I am not asking the American people to look at Mrs. Clinton that way.
I’m just asking if they will. Men aging makes them look more
authoritative, accomplished, distinguished. It’s the way it works.
Did aging in office hurt Hillary’s husband, […]

Noblesse Oblige and Hillary
Here’s a dollop of noblesse oblige
from right-winger John Spencer,
Hillary’s former foe for the New York Senate seat:
“You ever see a picture of her back then?
Whew, I don’t know why Bill married her.
Whew, she was hideous before ‘work.’
Noting Hillary Clinton looks much different now,
he chalked it up to “millions of dollars” of […]

The Mouth as Launcher
Helen went off to Troy with Paris,
leaving King Menelaus behind in Sparta.
Helen had the face “that launched a thousand ships,”
ships that carried Greeks to fight a war that lasted a decade.
Monica’s mouth was attached
to what may not be the wrong place
under certain circumstances,
but was the wrong place in this instance,
as far as […]

Bill and Arnie Call a Spade a Spade
Bill looked me and a few other people square in the eye, squinting his eyes,
and said: “I want you to listen to me - I’m going to say this again -
I did not have sexual relations with that woman Miss Lewinsky.”
I believed him then and I still do. […]

Land Mines, Cluster Bombs and the Clintons
The Clintons favor land mines and cluster bombs. Over 150 nations have signed
the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. That year President Bill Clinton refused to sign that treaty. After his election, President George W. Bush declared that the United Stateswould never sign.
In 2006 Senate Amendment No. 4882 would have banned […]

Hillary’s Hands
If Hillary’s in the White House
and the red phone rings,
the little girl sleeping in her bed
can go on sleeping safely
‘cause her life’s in Hillary’s hands.
The child in the eight-year-old clip
is approaching her eighteenth birthday.
She objects to being used in a Hillary ad
and wants to cast her vote for Obama.
