I know. I know. But Trump’s “Donroe Doctrine” isn’t a joke either.
While I contemplate my seventh run for Congress and imagine pulling off another Roman Hruska (It took Roman seven elections to get himself elected as Nebraska’s US Senator) I keep studying French and reading history. Yesterday I read about General Lafayette being treated for a battle injury in a Moravian hospital in Pennsylvania after a bad day for the revolution. While he was being treated he picked up a pamphlet that explained how the Moravians had worked to convert the people of Greenland to the church.
So today my French penpal sent me some texts. I thought one series of three photos included her cat “Paprika.” I’m giving her cat a pseudonym just as I have given my friend the nom de plume “Adelaide” for privacies sake. There has been three days of snow in northern France and so I thought these pictures were of her cat who is sadly going blind……which should have been the tip off that this was someone else’s home.
I’m waiting to post them until they get uploaded to my photo AP
She then wrote me this in French which I will translate for you:
Are you going to go to Greenland (Groenland en francais) on vacation!
In pretty good french I replied:
Sure. It will be our fiftieth state. But I mus tell you, the joke is a poor one. Our president has just sent his (chemises marrons) brown shirts to Minnesota today and one has shot a woman who protested the brutal work of ICE. Its sure a good example for giving him a Nobel Prize.
