Leonard Cohen - Democracy

 


It's coming through a hole in the air
From those nights in Tiananmen Square
It's coming from the feel
That this ain't exactly real
Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there
From the wars against disorder
From the sirens night and day
From the fires of the homeless
From the ashes of the gay
Democracy is coming to the USA
It's coming through a crack in the wall
On a visionary flood of alcohol
From the staggering account
Of the Sermon on the Mount
Which I don't pretend to understand at all
It's coming from the silence
On the dock of the bay,
From the brave, the bold, the battered
Heart of Chevrolet
Democracy is coming to the USA
It's coming from the sorrow in the street
The holy places where the races meet
From the homicidal bitchin'
That goes down in every kitchen
To determine who will serve and who will eat
From the wells of disappointment
Where the women kneel to pray
For the grace of God in the desert here
And the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the USA
Sail on, sail on
O mighty Ship of State
To the Shores of Need
Past the Reefs of Greed
Through the Squalls of Hate
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on
It's coming to America first
The cradle of the best and of the worst
It's here they got the range
And the machinery for change
And it's here they got the spiritual thirst
It's here the family's broken
And it's here the lonely say
That the heart has got to open
In a fundamental way
Democracy is coming to the USA
It's coming from the women and the men
O baby, we'll be making love again
We'll be going down so deep
The river's going to weep,
And the mountain's going to shout Amen
It's coming like the tidal flood
Beneath the lunar sway
Imperial, mysterious
In amorous array
Democracy is coming to the USA
Sail on, sail on
I'm sentimental, if you know what I mean
I love the country but I can't stand the scene
And I'm neither left or right
I'm just staying home tonight
Getting lost in that hopeless little screen
But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags
That Time cannot decay
I'm junk but I'm still holding up
This little wild bouquet
Democracy is coming to the USA

North Catholic High School Faculty House - 1926-2020 - Erie & Torresdale Aves. Philadelphia

Original photo: J. Rowe


Before they built a chapel on the third floor of the school, mass was celebrated in the Faculty House chapel, right there on the left, first floor, up the driveway steps. Can remember being recruited once or twice to be on honor guard duty at night after school in the Faculty House chapel, one hour, two students, at foot and head of the coffin of a deceased brother or priest awaiting their funeral next day. Can still remember the silence and lit candles and occasional visitors. Think it was Father Hanlon, WWII B-17 gunner btw, senior social studies that did the recruiting.

Know Your Supreme Court - Knights of Columbus HQ New Haven, Conn. on Left

 




Prosecutor Kamala Harris and Her Battle With The Charity Scam Knights Of Columbus And Thier Political / ""Religious Agenda

 



If anything, Harris as a prosecutor knows her shit, recognizes the criminal nature of conspiracy in the public forum of political agencies like the Knights of Columbus operating little different than the Trump Charity Scams Foundation. If you are a charity, do not use your tax free "fraternal" (guys only?) "charity" to try and push your religious power agenda. Carl Anderson Grand Wizard of the Knights of Columbus got his first victory in the WH with Scalia in his office at the WH and pushed his luck too far with Bork and has been operating ever since independently to not install stooges of the pope but of his own stooges in his private corner of a "Catholic" "knights" agenda in the most un-American ways possible in the form of its latest Knight's approved stooge Amy Coney Barrett.

She went on to ask whether Buescher was “aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed marriage equality when you joined the organization” and whether he had “ever, in any way, assisted with or contributed to advocacy against women’s reproductive rights.”

Harris posed these and other similar questions to Paul Matey and Peter Phipps, Catholic nominees who, like Buescher, are members of the Knights.

Wife of Nick Cordero, Amanda Kloots Replies To POTUS Fairy Tale Version Of The Impact Of Covid on Peopl's Lives

 



Wife of Broadway star Nick Cordero, who died of Covid-19 replies to POTUS call to not let Covid dominate our lives. :
amandaklootsVerified
To all the over 208,000 Americans who lost loved ones to this virus - I stand by you, with you, holding your hand. Unfortunately it did dominate our lives didn’t it? It dominated Nick’s family’s lives and my family’s lives. I guess we “let it” - like it was our choice?? Unfortunately not everyone is lucky enough to spend two days in the hospital. I cried next to my husband for 95 days watching what COVID did to the person I love. It IS something to be afraid of. After you see the person you love the most die from this disease you would never say what this tweet says. There is no empathy to all the lives lost. He is bragging instead. It is sad. It is hurtful. It is disgraceful.

White Massa Governor Greg Abbott Suppresses Vote For Roided Up Trump Cult


Mad little dictator in Texas Governor Greg Abbot is suppressing the vote by removing mail in drop boxes all over the state. 

His Wikipedia reads like it was written at a fourth grade level.  Fort grade about as far as da Texas mind gits edikated in the lone star state? Wiki emphasising up front that he is of "english decent" which means he is as white and drunk and promiscuous as the english? Wink. Nod. Also Wiki mentions that he is a catolick. I can remember when Catolics were nice people and not mean spirited sons of bitchs etc. 

Bring back Jim Crow and Chattel and Women that are forbideen any edikachun.

Revenge of RBG or Jackie Kennedy - Rose Garden Covid-19 Spreader Party September 26, 2020

 



I cannot figure it out. Is it revenge of RBG, not cold in her grave before the big ape nominated a far right Handmaid to the catholic court or the more demure revenge of Jackie Kennedy for Melania chopping down the trees in the Rose Garden like a pedicure "WTF". In any case, it is a force of nature acting now amongst all those bright white shining faces of last Saturday. It is what it is...
