George Bush (Sr.) Dream, 1992

(10/1992)

In my dream I was with George and Barbara Bush at a family picnic. Their many children and grandchildren were in and out of the room where we stood, adjoining to the green where the gathering was taking place. It could have beem a workshop , since there was a saw blade clearly visible on the bench nearby., George was making a point about Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whom he referred to as "The Gentleman From New York." even though I never really knew for sure until I looked it up today that FDR was really from New York.

I will be damned. George Bush was right about something in my dream.

But then he said, "The Gentleman From New York had to go and help all the colored people in the country by giving them jobs in dangerous industry so that more and more of those people were injured than ever before, and our corporations lost lots of money."

Maybe it was Bush talking with Archie Bunker's voice.
