Ivan, the spy


I don't remember any place called Glazer's on Kedzie, where on Kedzie?  63rd was the hub.  They had three, count them three, dimestores.  Oh bright lights big city.  Victor?  Why would your mom listen to any kid named Victor?  Sounds a little like something you might change your name to from say, Ivan.  Oh those smooth talking Russkies.  Actually we never thought of those Russians as smooth about anything,  They had those funny accents and everything about them seemed boxy, and their clothes were ill-fitting and out of date.  Not only were they commies, but they were unfashionable.  No wonder they wanted those blue jeans.  Probably the reason Victor (Ivan) was pushing the perma press was that he was shipping all the blue jeans back to Mother Russia so that he could build himself a nice dacha in the countryside when he retired from spying.

But I still wonder how you avoided those terrible back to school trips to the department store.  Remember we were still growing then, so how would anybody even know your size?  And I was told by my mother, who I assumed knew about these things, that different manufacturers made their sizes in different, well, sizes.  Maybe your mother wanted you to dress in clunky clothes like a Russkie, so that when they took over, as they eventually would, they would think you were one of their own and go easy on you.

Have you ever wondered what you would have been like if you had been born in Russia?  Would you have been a firm believer in communism and looked down on your comrades as not being commie enough?

All the republicans want to build a wall along the Mexican border, some a bigger one than others.  Some wags say the only way we will be able to afford it is to hire Mexicans to build it.  Trump is the only one who claims he is going to get the Mexicans to pay for it.  Well he is the only one to say it as of this time, generally the other candidates, seeing his popularity, fall over themselves to say something as outrageous as him, just to get their names in the paper.  I think that is why your dunderhead next door gov, Walker, got the idea of the wall on the northern border.

The thing is Trump says these outrageous things.  I thought dissing McCain's war hero-hood would do him in, and when that didn't, I thought dissing Fox starlet Megan Kelly would do him in, but every stupid thing he says, it just makes him stronger somehow, then when the other candidates say the same sort of thing, everybody looks at them and asks them what are they, idiots.

He is wreaking havoc on the republicans who are quaking in fear and we dems are just loving it, especially since Hill is looking not so hot, and less hot every passing day.

I think you are seeing the word thereof and thinking aha, legalese, surely some smart New York lawyers in slick suits and sunglasses can make a hash out of this and somehow de-citizen those ninos.  I imagine that anybody born here is subject to our jurisdiction in that they are subject to our laws, but like I said, who knows what a bunch of lawyers could do, but I doubt it.

Which brings up the subject of how are you going to deport eleven million people, estimates are six years and a quadrillion bucks, to which Trump responds, management.  See he is a rich guy, and Americans know rich guys can do anything, except for Mitt Romney who was a bit odd, and not really an asshole.  Anybody who is rich and doesn't take advantage of that by being an asshole, something wrong with them.

Well we shall see.  I will vote for somebody who I don't like very much, but who has a chance of winning, and you will vote for somebody you like inasmuch as you like anybody, with no chance of winning.

That's what will make America great again.
