BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Art News Blog: Sarah Palin Nude

Art News Blog: Sarah Palin Nude: "I am proud to be an American! In many other countries people would be arrested or 'dissappear' for creating, owning or reporting on this work, if Sarah Palin was an important government official . Here, we merrily skewer our politicians. Whether one is for or against Palin in the election, it is a treasure to enjoy our freedom to paint, draw sculpt, etc., whatever we wish."

Not exactly true.......

Get my colorful language censored all the time:
  • Workplace
  • Visiting Family
  • Family Visiting
  • Inside city limits
  • Outside city limits
  • Around Real Americans
  • Around American Tourist
  • Impulse or Insensitive
  • Corrected unexpected or unseen
  • Etc., etc., etc.
Even 411 when asking for phone number of a business, FORESKIN Leather, checking to see if my chaps were ready.

Operator:
Could you repeat that?

Foreskin Leather.

Operator:  Sorry sir, but nothing....

F-O-R-E! FORESKIN!
You know.  That extra piece of skin at the head of a penis!

Operator:  You think that's funny! Don't you!

(Thought I was getting disconected; but automated recording come through with  the number I needed)

"One thing I like about the Digital age: having the dictionary at my fingertips, how easy it is to look up unfamiliar words as I go along reading."
