NEW '56???

as i've noted on this blog, i grew up in the Hungarian ghetto in Cleveland, Ohio that used to dominate the western tail-end of Buckeye Rd. Russo's Butcher Shop for meat (i got to pick the live chicken), Lucy's for donuts and Lake Balaton Restaurant for special ocassions my Grandfather sold 'em insurance and wethey bought cars from Szabo's and they did not teach me one fuckin' word because they wanted me to be an AMERICAN [well..i knew "Eresheggera!" thanks to Greta Garbo in 'Ninotchka'].

we lived on Ripley Rd. and so did my grandparents five doors down and Ernie Kardos the first violinist for the Clevo Orchestro with his wife the first chair harpist and every night we ate dinner there and especially if there was Dobos Torte for desert (a cake that it took my Grandmother three days to make) and after discussing the current Hungarian who had assimilated such as Ernie Kovacs or the Gabor Sisters or whomever the talk would always always turn to politics and invaribly invaribly someone would utter the theme of my youth "that bastard Eisenhower" because in '56 when the Hungarians rose up against the Russians with nothing more than Magyar rage and Molotov cocktails and begged the world for help the USA did nothing.

now the Hungarian ghetto is long gone, the Hungarian Reformed (Lutheren) Church which was the center of all life there is now a Baptist temple i think and that tight tight community that did eveything byforwith itself was TOO successful at assimilation because like a medical charity that fucks up and actually FINDS a cure for their pet disease and thus goes out of business all the Hungarians assimilated too well and poofgone. but a few nights ago the Hungarian ambassador was on The Colbert Report very funny! and today i am listening to the BBC and watching PBS which has tons o' clips of the Budapestians going batfucknutz because their Prime Minister admitted that he lied to them and i still make a mean mean paprikas with homemade dumplings i've got some Hungarian Hot Wax peppers in the fridge for this are you hungry?
