Around The World In 80 Days

When her husband joined the United Nations in 1961, Beatrice Harding was able to travel widely with him and lived in Liberia, West Africa; Somalia, East Africa; Guyana, South America; Manila, Philippines; and New York City, USA.

In A Darkened Room

In a Darkened Room is a wild odyssey through the mind of a reformed derelict who has outwitted the cycles of poverty and vagrancy and risen like a bubble through the aquarium of capitalism only to surface at the bottom of the barrel. Journey along as Orphan, with the help of his rubber rabbit and an unplugged television, confronts his demons.

Garry’s first novel is freshly bound and I’m in a bind. I haven’t read it, and yet I am writing a blurb for the back cover. Knowing Garry’s twisted way of looking at the world, and having read the above synopsis, I will be the first in line to buy a copy. I look forward to making myself some tea and toast, reading 
In a Darkened Room, and writing
comments in the margarine.

Sioux Eyes

Fellow Americans, it’s been 500 years since that famous snapshot of our Chris planting the flags and putting the heel of the first boot of Spanish leather on the spine of San Salvador. Hate to admit but those rags of Mexico and Canada almost look good under that monstrous Old Glory. That’s the same talisman Honest Abe gave Black Kettle in ‘63 so the old boy would have a shroud to drape over his people at Sand Creek in ‘64. What the photo doesn’t show is that the toe of the other boot was up the rectum of a few million savages who didn’t have swords, guns, or bibles to protect them from the veritable disease (VD) of us white men. Joe Taino would have needed that penicillin greater than which no other penicillin exists. Too bad the Native Pharmacies were all closed for Columbus Day. Ho! Ho! Hey, that’s progress! What are you going to do if a few nutcases and squaws and papooses with bows and arrows get in the way? Crazy Horse wanted to drive the white men back across the big water. Death to radicals brother. Death to radicals. It’s bleeding hearts like him who want to save the passenger pigeon and those thieving Beothuks. Hell’s bells, we put their damn buffalo in parks didn’t we? We gave them Reservations. (With reservations, of course.) Life has been Easy Street since Custer died for their sins. Well friends got to run. It’s Monday Afternoon Football and the Cowboys are gonna shove that old pigskin right up the ass of those damn Redskins.
- Sincerely, George W.
