Sunday Mass (mess?)

Pope Francis just spent a week in Canada apologizing to all of Canada's First Nation people. On account of the Catholic run schools for the unchristian Indian children in forced attendance were being murdered by priests and nuns. The priests and nuns were running those schools. Actually, the Indian Schools were killing the First Nation children all over the Western Hemisphere. At least from the time Columbus "discovered" Cuba, priests were "converting" all the nasty heathen or burning them at the stake for laughs. The Catholics were a real hoot don't you know. The U.S. and Canada after mostly slaughtering the First Nations, decided to "educate" their young'uns in "Indian schools" where the children either learned to act all regular 'white folksy' or they were murdered and buried on school grounds. First Nation children. Convenient no doubt. Anyway, the Pope was in Canada and dang near burned his Holiness smooth out. You see Pope Francis gots the messed up knees and is confined to a wheel chair. Bless him Father for his knees wore out. So and anyway one more time, the Pope declared on behalf of the Catholic Church a remorseful and contrite apology for all that really nasty murdering and that on account of his being tired and worn out and his knees won't, or don't, work anymore breathe here, he's a gonna retire. Step aside for some other sorry cardinal chump to pick up that Papal mantle and carry the 'church'. Pope Francis is quoted as saying, "O Domine genua mea interficient me. Puta me cedendum esse. Miserere heu miserere supplex." To catch Francis' drift here you'll need to google up the old translator and use the latin thingy. That Francis is a real Jesuit card. Yes he is. And thus endeth our Sunday liturgy. Get off those knees Franky my man and give them a rest. BenGay will work on those gone to shit knees. Really. Now for our wholly and unseemly machine art.

Mega Million Headaches

 Play that lotto. Yup. The Mega Millions Lotto jackpot stands at $1.26 billion dollars. Dang if'n that ain't about a mountain of money. As I'm banging this nonsense out on the old keyboard, (it's Friday late in the afternoon) the drawing hasn't taken place. Sometime later on I suppose. People with a rather glazed look in their eyes are lining up to purchase lotto tickets in bulk. The 'live, local, now' news readers are heading to points south and in Arizona to interview Vegans (that would be Las Vegas denizens and not those loopy veggie worshippers) that traversed to the Zona for lotto tickets. Well and some scratchers. You see with all the gambling that's perfectly legal in Nevada, Nevada doesn't allow any lotto stuff. Nope. Lotto tickets might take away from the gaming tables, keno, slots, and whatever else tourists like to throw their money away on. At? Oh yeah and there's a load of "sports betting." It would be really easier for the casinos to simply have some guy stand at the casino doors and take the peoples money as they enter the casino. People leave casinos with far less money than when they went in the casino. So lotteries are strictly forbidden. VERBOTEN!!! That's for all those cute and batshit insane neoNazis running baboon like around America's Halls of Congress. Think MTG and that's not a mind altering drug. MTG has had her mind altered but that's probably due to the really fucking insane religion she contends she's very much a part of. Yikes! Anyway should any one person in these here parts, OR anywhere in 'lotto America', win all those "mega millions" are the sorry fuckers in for a world of surprises. The very first of which will be those grand bureaucrats that work for the IRS and yes, the IRS keeps very close tabs on all those lottery jackpots and especially so when a jackpot creeps up on a billion dollars plus. Worries worries worries and all of a sudden you'd have more damn relatives crawling out of your woodwork with their hands outstretched asking for a "small loan" and you more than likely didn't even know you had ANY relatives whatsoever. So I tend to pass on the lottery crap. I do however buy me a scratcher every once in a while. I even won five bucks. Once. A long time ago. Now for that ever so favorite Saturday machine art. No scratchers or lotto tickets were involved in the writing of this screed. Just mockery. Nothing but the straight up mockery.

I do hope the little old lady that lives down the road with her forty seven cats is the single ticket winner of the mega millions. she'll be able to provide for her cats and spend some quality time in Aruba. you go little old lady that lives with all those cats. 🙇

p.s. someone in Illinois hit the big really big lotto mega millions jackpot. a single ticket winner. good luck...

At The Opening Bell...

 The trading begins. Not for any professional athletes. Well, there is that one professional athlete. The trading involved here is for one really tall American woman basketball star and one former Marine. I was always told that "once a Marine, always a Marine." However that may not be the case here. So the U.S. offers up one insidious Russian arms dealer convicted back in 2011 for arms dealing. Gosh is that about a shocker or what. Anyway, the U.S. offers one convicted arms dealer in trade for a professional women's basketball star and one former Marine. The woman involved here is one Brittney Griner. She's a woman basketball player of considerable skill and size. The former Marine here is one Paul Whelan. Griner is being held in Russia on drug trafficking charges and Whelan is being held in Russia on espionage charges. Trading negotiations are taking place at present. The trade is to get Griner and Whelan home back to the loving arms of a grateful nation. Sure sure... The convicted Russian arms dealer is one nasty and dangerous criminal. The guy was selling genuine Russian military grade armaments to whomever had the cash and as always, the weapons can be yours IF the price is right. The Rooskie goes by the name of Viktor Bout. Bout is in a federal prison in Illinois and he's waiting on his meal ticket back to Mother Russia so's he can get back to dealing weapons of mass destruction, raking in mountains of cash, and being an in general pain in the ass of our shared humanity. Dang if'n prisoner swapping diplomacy isn't just dynamic. Possibly that prisoner swapping diplomacy is "dynamic pricing." Get it? "Dynamic pricing" is what you'll face if'n you wanna see Bruce Springsteen and of course, Springsteen is the 'boss'. At $4000.00 dollars a pop. Whatever. Now for that all important Friday machine artistry. Yours for absolutely free. Gratas. Compliments of the 'skulzwerks' machine art factory. Shameless plug and I can admit that freely.

Play That Pricey Music White Boy

 Bruce Springsteen is fixing to offer up a "concert tour" so you can see the 'Boss' in person and rock to all those Springsteen hits. Oh yes and the Springsteen "tour" will be in the good ole U. S. of Amerika. So get your bestest grungy jeans out, whip on a really old tee shirt and get in line for those tickets. You'll be expected to fork over $4000.00 dollars and that is no bullshit. Ticketmaster is selling those Springsteen "tour" tickets and Ticketmaster uses a new marketing ploy known as "dynamic pricing." Talk about getting shafted and that does NOT include Vaseline. Yeah that'd be "dynamic" alright. Springsteen knows about this fucking outrage. But Springsteen is getting old and a bit bloated on success so no pay, you won't get to hear the 'Boss' play. I've never been a big Springsteen fan. Some of his music is alrighty but not all of it. For four thousand dollars a pop, you should be able to get upper crust head included in the price of a ticket. So and on behalf of all us just regular folk, Brucey baby...fuck off and get over yourself. I've got your "dynamic pricing" hanging right here! Now for some Thursday machine artistry and any reader can dive right on in here for free. Free is good. Art is good. Machine art is king and/or queen. Depending on one's particular gender preference. Or whatever.

The War Has Begun

 Not Russia's war on Ukraine. Everybody knows about that war criminal bullshit. The war being referred to here is...ready? WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES!!! Oh yes people, the war is on. The opening salvoes have taken place in Japan... Japan?!? Yup, Japan. It seems that somewhere around Yamaguchi Prefecture macaques, or snow monkeys, have taken to attacking the people. Little rascals are breaking into homes and shops and in general raising holy screaming hell. Japanese folk try beating the macaques into submission to no avail. Taking on a macaque in a one-on-one up close and personal self defense usually results in cuts, bruises, scraps, and open bleeding wounds. The monkeys strike and then take flight into mountainous monkey parts unknown. In one report from Japanese media, the macaques were said to have been instructed in the art of war by one chimpanzee name of Caesar. In a separate but highly coincidental report from British occupied Gibraltar, attacks on tourists have increased exponentially. British reporting on the incidents maintain that the Gibraltar monkeys keep screaming about a "Caesar" and British authorities simply are unsettled by talking monkeys and some "monkey" name of "Caesar." Dang...if that ain't about some weird shit. Now for some Camel Day machine art. No monkeys were involved in the making of todays art.

today the attacks on people seem to be limited to just macaque monkeys. IF chimpanzees and gorillas get in on the action, well, all bets are off then. 😳

A Strange Case

 A very strange case indeed. Senator Joey 'chins' Manchin AND Senator Lisa 'the bod' Murkowski have both come down with the Covid. Yes my friends the Covid seems to be striking denizens of Babylon-On-The-Potomac with remarkable regularity. The strange aspect to all this is that our intrepid senators caught the Covid at almost exactly the same time. Coincidence? I would venture and according to the gossip floating around America's Babylon, there is much hanky panky between senators on both sides of the senatorial aisles. Bipartisan jiggy! Now the gossip would indicate that both Manchin and Murkowski came down with senatorial chlamydia AT THE SAME TIME! Doesn't that just figure. Our sex starved(?) senators caught in the grips of one virus and seconded by the jiggy clammies. By the by here, chlamydia is bacterial and quite nasty to be contracted. Doing the nasty possess risks. Of course Manchin and Murkowski are denying the gossip and one can hardly blame them for that. It is an election year so sitting senators probably shouldn't be getting caught with pants down. Theoretically speaking of course. So the sun also rises in the east unless one happens to be in Japan. Japanese insist that the sun rises in Japan. Go figure. Now for some Tuesday machine artistry.

Back From The Future

 Thanks to the SCROTUMS, wait...that should read SCOTUS. Thanks to the Supreme Court of the United States AND the head up ass six pack of "conservative" Justices, our wondrous America is now back from the twenty first century. We are amazingly transported back in time to the 1970's and the social constraints of the year 2022 are no longer in play. First off, all bets as to social propriety are burned at the stake. Witches too. Women will from now on have to ensure they are up to speed on archaic forms of birth control. Those little blue pills, and that's not to endorse Valium, will be available at your local pharmacy. That is IF the goddamn evangelical treasonous freaks haven't disrupted the neighborhood dispenser of pills. Those goddamn evangelical lunatics need to be yanked up short. Separation of church and state you know. HOWEVER with the SCROTRUMS being in tight religious control of our Supreme Court, moderate minded folk are shit out of luck. We are way, set the way back machine Sherman, way back in the day. 1972 will find a twenty first century version of Richard Nixon. That should probably be donny 'the golden fuck' trump. And/or maybe that Florida dumb ass, Ronny 'shoot them niggars' De Santis. Remember, we are now flashed back 50 years in time. It was perfectly acceptable to use derogatory terms of any sort in very public venues far and wide. Check out the hysterically funny work of Richard Pryor. Mr. Pryor is dead and gone now but his work will stand for a very long time to come. Why all the way from 1972 to our preciously precarious year of 2022. Time does fly in reverse when totalitarian justices play change up with accepted norms and federal law. The Supreme Court Fuckers need to be impeached and removed from our nation's highest court. Sooner would be better. On a personal note, it could be extremely exciting to see Clarence 'Unca Tom' Thomas kicked down the steps of our Supreme Court to land flat on his perverse black ass. Fuck that nigro. Now for some moderately angry machine art. Fifty years in the future.

ten hairs short of being baboons would certainly apply to the "conservative" side of the Supreme's Court of Judicial Jesters. I wonder if the Kavanaugh judge does the closet jiggy with Coney 'island' Barrett and importantly...does she make any noise when receiving the supreme dick? 😃

If There's Not One Thing...

Turns out there's at least one or two different things to freak the fuck out about. Bannon goes to the big house and that's karma. Ivanka Trump gots the heebie jeebies on account of Jared Kushner being a weeny. Senator Mitch McConnell gots the migrating spinal column and when good old Mitchy went to see the M.D., well, the doctor informed old Mitchy "there weren't more than about shit could be done for the condition so man up and learn to live with it. Or without it. Either way." So there you go. Oh wait, I forgot about our next pandemic...the Monkeypox Pac. Okay go ahead on and start freaking out. Sixes about sums it all up. Now for some Sabbatical machine artistry and/or sanctimony.

The Verdict Is In...

 The verdict reads...GUILTY! Whom you might care to inquire? Why Steve Bannon is guilty as charge. Two counts of contempt of Congress. Guilty...Guilty!! Just in case the reader might need a quick refresher, Steve Bannon is a trailer trash trump enabling political parasite bottom feeding at the lowest rung of a corrupt septic tank in Babylon-On-The-Potomac. Two yes two counts of contempt. I think that overall and in general, most of America finds our Congress contemptible. However most Americans don't get subpoenaed to testify before an investigative Congressional Committee and therefore, have no worries about having to stand trial for contempt of Congress. Bye bye Bannon. You'll get to know cell boss Bubba up close and personal. Personally personal. Love blooms vicious on the cell block. Now for some celebratory Saturday machine art. Guilty...damn is that about rich or what.

Go East People...Way East

 According to Bloomberg.com...Americans are moving to Europe. In droves if'n Bloomberg has their numbers correct. Americans are moving to Europe to live. Evidently the US dollar is solid and providing untold benefits to those gayety loving Americans taking the plunge east to Europe. Of course Europe is caught in an historic heatwave and there is that messy little dust up in Ukraine. Wildfires are spread all over the European continent and that's to include the UK. The UK doesn't count themselves as part of Europe. Not anymore. That Brexit bullshit. Of course given the gun violence that Americans face on a daily basis, well, war in Ukraine probably doesn't seem quite as bad. That alone speaks volumes. Closer to war or closer to homegrown gun murder. I suppose the case comes out as sixes. So in the reverse of Horace Greeley, go east young man go east. Seems a mite convoluted but I'm not making any plans to move anywhere. I'm staying right where me and my lovely wife and our dog are in residence. Friday machine artistry is next.

Chicago/Chiraq...not so much difference and not really. 😵

Bangers And...

 The British are cooking bangers and mash on the sidewalks of London. Evidently it's that hot. England is not used to the kind of heat they're facing today. They're dealing with desert like heat. Today was 110 degrees Fahrenheit a way out here in the Mojave Desert. Tomorrow will be about 112. You get used to the heat when you live in the desert. You stay out of the sun and drink plenty of water. Lots and bottles full of cool clear water...water...water. From the song 'Cool Water' made famous by Marty Robbins. Back when we lived in the Arizona, summer was generally clocking around 115 freaking hot degrees and that was the usual. As for England? Well shoot...the Brits are sweltering and dealing with wildfires that they've never had to deal with in previous years. The heat waves are circumnavigating our Planet and its wildfire hot and burning just about anywhere. Possibly not on or around Antartica. Not yet anyway. Did you know that the glaciers holding most of Antartica in their freezy grip are starting to melt? Well the Antarctic glaciers ARE starting to melt. Not much can be done about that. Not now anyway. Our climate is that fucked up. So with the United States of America standing obstructionistly (I just made up a brammy new word :}) in the way of making serious changes to the pollution levels in our Earth's atmosphere, well, we've no one to blame but...us. Dear Senator Joe Manchin...please piss off and take off...eh?!? You can google that name and gather all the incriminating reporting you might need to come to a reasonably hostile opinion of the Manchin. I don't think Manchin has a man chin at all. He's sort of a sold out pussy and more than a little squidish. On account of the guy has spent way too much time playing grab ass with carbon fueling lobbyists. Living in Babylon On The Potomac will do that. Lay down with assholes and you'll more than likely wake up smelling like shit. That's from the Bible you know. The ecclesiastical book of Puds On Parade chapter 9 verse 42. Now to celebrate the Day of the Camel. Machine artistry is next up on todays program.

Big Breaking News...

 Former VicePresident Mikey 'give it to Mikey he'll eat anything' Pence, spits at Trump! Could there be civil war breaking out in the GOP? Oh be still my beating heart, the stuff of dreams come true. Pence offered his endorsement to an Arizona candidate running for Governor, name of Karrin Taylor Robson who appears to be the Republican Party favorite. The treasonous trump endorsed a really batcrap crazy woman name of Kari Lake. Lake is a "former" television news anchor. Doesn't that just figure. It seems there's been bad blood between Pence and trump ever since January 6, 2021. Pence found out that trump was encouraging the insurrectionists attacking the U.S. Capitol to "hang Pence." I can see where that might put Pence in a bit of a mood. Hanging? Dang if'n that ain't about harsh. Anyway Arizona Republican establishment types are vying for their favorite Ms. Robson and the lunatic fringe of Arizona Republicans are hyping Lake. I used to live in Arizona and believe you me...those fuckers are tinfoil hat wearing gun packing crazy ass freaks. Did you know that the Arizona trumpers are hoarding weapons, ammunition, explosives, and all the hate propaganda you might ever consider pulling out of a tinfoil hat? It's probably for the best that the Arizona ignorant and inbred loonies stay in Arizona. Oh golly, I forgot the racist aspect. That last line should read "it's probably for the best that the Arizona ignorant and inbred racist loonies stay in Arizona." Very scary no doubt. Now for some Tuesday swanky machine art.

Let "Em Die!

The Texas police response to the mass murder of school children in Uvalde, Texas was highlighted on Sunday by the release of the "official report on the shooting." Evidently, Texas cops gathered at the Uvalde elementary school after reports of an active shooter on school grounds AND those multi-agency Texas law enforcement types stood around looking obviously stupid while the Uvalde school children were murdered in cold blood. Cold racist cowardly and fucking outrageously murdered. The cops STOOD there and watched doing absolutely nothing. However those law enforcement types looked all battlefield butch. It wasn't Texas law enforcement types that were being murdered. Nope. The school children being butchered were mostly of Mexican descent and THAT ALL BY ITSELF is why Texas law enforcement stood around doing nothing. Nothing but allow a brutal and chilling slaughter to run its course. Of course had those Uvalde school children been all Texas white folk, well, those Texas cop types would have charged that school with guns drawn and a blazin'. So much for all that overhyped Texas machismo. A rather gutless and foolish collection of wanna be cops that should be held to account. Now for some Monday art de la machine. In French no less. French cops would have taken that school shooter down in about a Texas second.
