Helios, Thank you, I am sure there was no harmful impact intended, you are a scholar and a gentleman, please keep up your excellent work. Redbeck
I've stumbled across the fact, which you clever chaps probably knew all the time, that "A Warning" is the title of a book-length exposé of the Trump administration published in 2019, by an anonymous author billed as a "senior Trump administration official". Apparently, a follow-up to an anonymous 'op-ed' ( short for "opposite the editorial page"), printed by the New York Times in September 2018
Op-ed is short for "opposite the editorial page", and a piece of written prose typically published in a newspaper or magazine which expresses the opinion of a guest author usually not associated with the publication's editorial board. I only know this because I was once a publisher and managing editor of fine magazines, and felt it an essential ingredient to your educations to know.
Well here we are DT the time machine is dragging us wriggling back down through 2008 to the 1930s
Brother Can You Spare a Dime
They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always there right on the job
They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower up to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodly dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, ah gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodly dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Oh, say, don't you remember, they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal
Buddy, can you spare a dime?
