近所をドライブしていたら、こんなところにもこんなにきれいな紅葉が・・・。以前はロンちゃんを連れていつも歩いていました。

ロンドンで美しい紅葉を見てきました。あちらは樫の木やカエデでしたが、金沢区は古風な松が多いのが奥ゆかしくかっこいい!

いつも〝ブッとんでる” オノ・ヨーコ 心が動くままに、思うままに、いつも思いっきりカゲキに叫ぶ!

Yoko Ono Screaming About Trump Winning Election Is All Of Us Right Now

The artist and activist shared this 19-second long video with her followers on Twitter on Friday. This primal scream is literally all of us when we realized: “Oh, holy shit. Trump is going to be president.”

I wish I could put into words what Ono shared with us… but… I’m left speechless, just as she was. Yoko, keep being beautifully bizarre.

ただ、この叫び声が外国人に通じるのかな?とフト思う、あまりにも日本人的な・・・・


東大吉見俊哉教授の東京新聞11/14(夕刊)「日米同盟の相対化を」の記事中に、驚きべきことが書いてあった。曰く、トランプの最大の特徴は「集中力というものがない」ことだと。彼は「教室でじっとしていられない幼稚園児」のような存在で自己顕示欲がすべて。彼はまた本を読み通したことがない。だから情報源はテレビ。そして何よりも「口を開けば噓をつく。それも口から出まかせではなく計算ずく。それが事実かどうかということをまったく気にしない」と。

 


下の写真はTruxxがオバマ大統領を執務室に訪ねた時のもの。Mr.Decencyが、稀代の嘘つきにその椅子を譲る痛みに途方に暮れ、Truxxは、それを苦々しく理解しつつの困った顔の対比。実にこれからの4年を暗澹たるものにさせる。

決心した、もう当分アメリカには行かない!!

 Truxxの写真や動画をみると「Owe」となる。なので、この記事で4年後に期待することで気を紛らせたい。もし、本当にそうなったらもっと素晴らしいと思う。

クリスチャン・サイエンス・モニター紙の11/10記事より

Hillary Clinton’s loss on Tuesday has many of her supporters wondering what’s next. Some hope Michelle Obama, a powerful Clinton surrogate and consistently popular first lady, could be persuaded to run for president in 2020.

By Ellen Powell, Staff

In the wake of Donald Trump’s surprise victory on Election Day, some disappointed Democrats hope they can persuade Michelle Obama to run for President in 2020.

Using the hashtag #Michelle2020, Americans took to social media to express their support for the first lady’s candidacy four years from now. Some called her “the best thing to ever happen to the White House.” Others created slogans for Mrs. Obama’s candidacy that parody Mr. Trump’s “Make America Great Again,” from “Make America Safe Again” to “Make the World Great Again.”

There’s just one issue: Obama herself has repeatedly stated that she has no desire to become president. Some may hope that her attitude has changed now that Mr. Trump has been elected, seeing her as the right person to heal the divisions highlighted by this election cycle.

It’s significant that Obama’s popularity remained high even as her role in the Clinton campaign grew. Toward the beginning of her tenure as first lady, she focused on less contentious issues like children’s health and education for girls worldwide.

As the campaign went on, however, she gave what many pundits consider the two most successful speeches of the election campaign. Her speech to the Democratic National Convention, which included the now-famous line, “When they go low, we go high,” emphasized the values of inclusion and equality.

“We are always stronger together,” she told the country, a message now echoed by widespread calls for post-election unity.

Toward the end of the campaign, she was repeatedly deployed as a Clinton campaign surrogate, in an effort to win over Millennials and minority voters, two key constituencies whom the campaign felt Clinton might struggle to reach. Obama’s ability to connect with these voters, coupled with her high overall popularity, suggest that many Americans might be prepared to consider voting for her.

The Clinton campaign set a precedent for Obama to run, if she chooses to. Like Clinton, Obama is a former first lady with a history of public service, not to mention a law degree.

Speaking at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, in March, however, Obama said categorically, “I will not run for president. No, hope, not going to do it.”

She cited her children as one reason behind that decision, saying she would not want to put them through another 8 years. She hopes to continue the work to improve people’s lives that she began in the White House, but suggested that she might be more impactful once she is no longer first lady. The president, too, has indicated that Michelle Obama would never run for office.

But supporters may be able to draw hope from Obama’s first joint appearance with Hillary Clinton. If the need to support Clinton won out over her dislike of campaigning, could it also impel her to seek the presidency in 2020?

“This is truly an unprecedented election, and that’s why I’m out here,” she said.

今回は英国鉄道メイン路線以外にヨークシャーへの鉄道にも乗って楽しかった。TubeはOysterカードでパパッと。今回はバスも大いに利用。

コヴェントガーデンへバスで行ったのはいいけど、帰るとき交通機関のストライキで「バスが走ってないよ~」とバス停で待っている人に伝えてる人がいる。その時、コヴェントガーデンバス停から地下鉄の駅までパパッと歩いた自分に喝采(!) 帰国の日なので遅れるわけにはいかなかったのだが、パニックにならずに済んだ。

Trip To London Coverへ

ドライブの途中、大きな虹がかかりました。懐かしくうれしいIngleさんご夫妻との再会。イングルさんは優しく厳しく温かく、でも日本で失くした大切だった”ネクタイ”も忘れないちょっとお茶目で頑固な英国紳士。Judithさんのパーフェクトなハウスキーピングにも、いつも心から感服です。
