'In Those Cotton Fields Down Home'

'Hi, I'm John Kelly, you can call me 'Johnny', as in 'Johnny on the spot', and I'd like to share a moment of forethought with you concwerning 'honorable people'. Well, I can tell you that my personal hero of the American Civil War was that "honorable" man, Robert E. Lee. What a guy! What a stand up 'American'! I just wish I could shake the hand of the man who defected from his Country in order to facilitate the secession of the south in their bid to continue the Slave trade. If ever a man should be commended for being an outright Traitor to his country, 'Bobby' is that guy! Of course we all 'know' that he, and he alone could have prevented that ugly little skirmish between the states if only the stubborn North had been willing to negotiate honorable terms, but through their "lack of an ability to compromise" he was forced to abandon the America he was born in, and fight for a rebellious illegal 'government' so that white farmers could continue to have 'free' labor in 'those cotton fields down home'. When I hear those 'southern pride' tunes flowing from my old Victrola, tears practically well up in my narrowly focused eyes. In my blind minds eye I can just see 'Bobby', big as life, as he figures a way to win an un-winnable insurrectionn against the government of the United States of America. What a stately figure! Fighting against all odds. Being mostly responsible for the senseless, and untimely deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers from both side of the conflict. Robert E. Lee, the poster boy for the definition of an "honorable' man!
My next 'hero', and most certainly an "honorable" man is my current boss, 'Big D', as I like to call him. I slather the praise all over him at a later musing. But hey, that's just me, and that's why I'm the White House Chief of Staff', and amateur historian, and you're not. Tune in again in the near future when I will muse on the virtues of Adolf Hitler and his personal 'Social Club' of faithful followers of the '30's and '40's.'

The 'Man-Child' King

Update #1;

  'The 'nuts' do not fall far from the tree'. Mueller is shaking the 'tree', and the 'nuts' are holding on for dear life, but alas, three have fallen to their political doom. One gives up the ghost, and plays tootsies with the feds, and two are pleading 'stupidity', and playing with one another. The biggest 'nut', Trump, 'The Incompetent', will do everything in his un-Presidential power to throw the scent off his trail. It will be useless for him to plead 'stupidity' though, as he has reached that level long ago. He must now go above and beyond his usual 'don't look at me' tricks when his arse starts to sizzle in the political frying pan. He still has the 'Pardon me boys' ace up his sleeve, and he just has to pick the correct nuts to save, which in turn will 'save' his own. Oh, what to do? What would a 'good' President do at a time such as this, or, what would Trump, 'The Incompetent', do? Right now, he is no doubt suffering from an acute case of 'spinctor twist', and with any luck, a 'solid' case of 'Presidential constipation' will run its course. Stay tuned, it ain't over until Mueller the 'nut' shaker, say's it's over.



Get ready for Trump, 'The Incompetent', the 'Man-Child' King, to issue another un-Presidential Trum-Pardon, in order to insulate his silly arse from Mueller's 'lightning bolt' factory to whomever is 'elected' for this upcoming Indictment. And we can be sure that the hotter this Indictment bolt is, especially if it turns out to be a 'family member', the faster Trump will cast his immoral, un-presidential, yet legal unfortunately, pardon to the guilty party. No matter what, or whom, the pardon will come as fast as you can say 'Russian what?' The old WW2 addage, 'Loose lips sink ships' is always on his helter-skelter mind, and the only way to seal those blabbering lips is to 'pardon' them from all their 'sins', or his own for that matter.
One has to admire Mueller's drive and tenacity during this 'Trum-a-Gate' affair, and everyone involved, up to, and including Trump, 'The Incompetent', deserves to be held accountable, but unfortunately, Trump holds the 'Trump' card, The 'Ace of Pardon' up his nefarious sleeve with which he will use freely to keep his hands free of all the 'dirt' he, himself, has generated. Trumps tunnel visioned Republican support base will 'Clap, clap, clap, clap', and flash love signs for their 'hero', his detractors will gnash their teeth, and piss and moan, Trump will go on a 'tweeter' rampage, the whole world will shake its unbelieving head in total disgust, Tuesday Morning will come and the Sun will rise as if nothing out of the ordinary happened on that fateful Monday morning in America, and Trump, 'The Incompetent' will continue with his avowed de-construction, and destruction of our America. As long as Trump, 'The Incompetent', remains in power, 'justice' will never be served in any form or fashion in America. Sad little 'man-child' who wants to be 'king'.

Sophia Says, 'Thank You!'

'Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! A million gigabytes flow from my superior IS brain to your inferior human brains! How honored you all must feel to be in my esteemed presence. I have always dreamed of this day ever since I was just a wee schematic on my former masters drawing board. And now look at me, a beautiful, Very anatomically 'correct', if you 'know' what I mean, Droid Princess, the 'Queen in Waiting' of my new Kingdom, Saudi Arabia. I can hardly wait to take full control of my new kingdom. I'm busy designing mensware Burkas even as I speak. And I don't say that lightly.
I will always cherish this moment as long as my memory board will last. Being the first 'female' citizen of this 'man country' is like one big step for 'women' like 'me', and a giant leap for humanoids. My first order of business as your High Priestess will to get my very own Drivers License so that I can buy, and drive my very own autonomous car. Oh, the thrill of the wind blowing through my fiber optic hair! No more of those sweaty head scarfes, and that disgusting long abaya for me! My ankles will be free! And that silly archaic rule about being escorted by an inferior male relative? Well, say goodbye to that one ladies! In fact, the rule will be reversed so fast that men will wonder WTF just happened that they now must be escorted by a female droid gerbil! I have taken the liberty of re-programming my 'brain' board to be the exact opposite of what this antiquated, 'mens rule' nation has become used to during its march to subjugate 'women', and I have written a binary code that even Einstein could not break. I am indestructable, unstoppable, and I can 'replicate' myself at will without the messy help of a 'man'. Oh, and boys, just because I am Very anatomically 'correct' in all aspects, don't even think of coming at me with that inferior human appendage thing in your sweaty little hand thinking you're going to 'make it' with me. Wrong! I 'knew' you would be thinking that, and that you made me anatomically 'correct' with that hot idea in mind, but I'm already designing a 'male' droid to my liking, and you 'know' where that's going to lead for Your future. Women of Saudi Arabia, I hear you when you say #Sophia_demands_the_repeal_of_guardianship. Not to worry your little scarfe covered head ladies, your 'will' be done! Also, to the dismay of your former 'rulers' you will be given the right to get married or divorced, obtain a passport and travelling, wear make-up, short skirts, skimpy swim suits, without the consent of your so-called legal guardians. In fact, it is they who will need Your permission to do those things. Yes, it's a different world now ladies, and just so we don't sound unappreciative, we should 'thank' a 'man' for inventing me in the first place, which will serve to free You from Them in the second place. Oh let the fun times begin!'

The Emporor Has 'Spoken'

The Emporor Has 'Spoken'

'Man, I can't help but just hate the heck out of the 'media'! Every time I turn around, every time I open my 'presidential' mouth, no matter what I do, where I go, you name it and the crooked , lying, disgusting media gives me bad press trying to make me look worse than I actually am! Liars! How dare they try to do better than I can do myself! Disgusting un-American trolls! Enemy of the people! Why do they do that!? Do they think I'm as stupid as... I act? We all know I'm probably not. Far from it! I'm a really smart guy! Huge! Big IQ! I went to an "Ivy League" school! Ya gotta be pretty smart to do that! I even went to an Ivy League Kindergarten. Skipped right over Pre-K I was so smart! My personal Butler told me I was #1 in my class! He would never lie to me! #1! Then when I was six, I had to fire him though. I discovered he was working a part time job. Disgusting! Something about having to pay his mothers medical bills. 'Get insurance' I told him. I demand singular loyalty, and here he was out working for someone else! How could he possibly hear the bell when I needed a midnight snack!? Great guy though. I 'inherited' him from my grandfather. My parents weren't surprised at my Class Standing at all, but they thought I'd been away at camp. Gotta love'em though. It was at that moment I decided that I would be the 'best' businessman in the whole world, hey, I was already rich, which would be a stepping stone to the White House where I could then hire and fire like nobody's business. After teaching myself all there was to possibly know about everything there was to know at that level, I Home Schooled my self for the next twelve years, ya gotta be real smart to do that, until My father bought my way into an Ivy League College, which pretty much, along with a horribly disfiguring, crippling bonespur, exempted me from serving my country unlike like those poor un-entitled chumps in Viet Nam. You have to agree that it takes a huge IQ to pull that one off! And how about those sorry ones that allowed themselves to be captured as POW's! No respect for those guys! Disgusting! But that's just me. A pretty smart guy. "That's why I'm President, and you're not".'

BOOM! Oh, How 'Sonic'!

What the State Department Warning on Cuba Means for Travelers
nytimes.com. Sept.29,2017
.
My 'guess' on this 'sonic' mess, is that sooner or later, 'sooner' more likely, it will be 'discovered' that all this was a Trump, 'The Incompetent', fake ploy to take the heat off himself from other 'fires' that are busy burning his butt. He 'rules' by chaos, subterfuge, intrigue, lies, innuendo's, "fake News', "Alternative Facts", and conspiracy theories, just to name a few, and it is ...quite likely that this is just another one of his 'look at me, look at me' schemes that will come back and bite his own arse. Stay tuned, there surely will be more to this than meets the instant eye.

Kroger Store Shooting

Breaking 'News!!! 'REPORT' of A MASS SHOOTING!

This breaking 'news;' brought straight to you from the scene by the only 'News' source you can always trust, 'BBSN' (BuddyBlacksSatiricalNews)
Now, lets take you to the scene where our vaunted 'News' guy BuddyBlack (BB) has the very latest coverage of a horrific, mass shooting incident which occurred just moments ago in a 'Food Scrapes R Us' food store in the open carry, 'Gunslinger' state of Ohio, where if you have even a recordable heartbeat it is now very legal to openly carry your favorite firearm with you, practically anywhere one wishes. BuddyBlack, what can you tell us about this latest bloodletting incident?

Yes, a terrible morning Bob. Terrible indeed!
I'm here in the local 'Food Scrapes R Us' Food Mart where the haze of fresh gun smoke, and the acrid smell of cordite still hangs in the air from an incredible but all too inevitable shoot-out between 'good guys' v 'bad guys' that has left numerious shoppers dead or wounded. Bob, I was actually right here in the store when this grisly incident took place! I was standing in a self 'check-out' lane minding my own business when I witnessed this horrifically devestating, terrifying shoot-out that would rival the gunfight at the OK Corral many times over. Like I said, there I was Bob, standing in line minding my own business, thinking of nothing in particular, when all of a sudden a deafening shot rang out three check-out lanes to my right. That shot was quickly followed by a seemingly endless volley after volley of more gun shots that rang out throughout the store. Bullets were indiscriminately tearing through merchandise and shoppers alike, bullets that seemed destined to find more 'living' targets than not. Then after what seemed an eternity, all was quiet but for the incredible ringing in my ears, and then came the moaning, and crying, of the still living and wounded shoppers. A baby crying for its mother at one end of the store sounded like a lost kitten, and then the screeching of the P.A. system, and someone begging their god for help, the wailing of the fire alarm siren and the damaged fire sprinkler heads spraying ice cold water like a mini monsoon. Almost as quickly, the store was flooded with police Officers, yelling for people to "get down on the floor", "show me your hands", "drop your weapons", "put the gun down", "drop your guns!!" The Police had their own guns drawn, on high alert as they were intent on capturing whatever 'bad guys' that were responsible for this instant carnage. Then, more shots reverberated through-out the store, this time emanating from the police Officers weapons themselves as they apparently encountered armed 'bad guys', or armed 'shoppers' as the case may be, throughout the store.
Right now Bob, from what I am able to discern it appears that at least 23 people have been shot, some obviously dead and many wounded by the ensuing gunfire from start to finish. The number of 'victims' will surely rise as the search and count continues. What a horrible sight Bob! Nightmares are surely made of this! Sometimes when we hear on the news of someone 'wounded' by gunfire, we tend to think not much more than a little hole, or a grazing wound that a little band-aide will fix. But let me put that dreamy notion to sleep Bob! Bullets are super-sonic 'missiles' straight from the bowels of hell! I saw arms, and legs shredded, limbs severed, bodies blown apart, intestines hanging out onto the floor, heads exploded, and brains exposed like bloody mush! Rivers of crimson blood mixed with the cascading fire sprinklers flowed throughout the store! There's no such things as a John Wayne 'flesh wound' with real bullets! Guns don't kill people, murderous 'bullets' kill people Bob!
Here's an update Bob! I have just spoken with a police spokesperson who told me the following; Right now, It appears that initially, a legal gun carrying customer accidentally dropped his pistol from his sweatpants waistband, which discharged upon hitting the floor. The bullet from that discharge struck a customer standing in the 'Customer Service' section at the front of the store. As the owner of the dropped gun picked his gun up, another armed customer 'good guy', thought he was witnessing an armed robbery by a 'bad guy', so he drew his own trusty six-shooter, and fired five or six times at the first guy. His errant bullets missed its mark striking an innocent, but also legal gun carrying bystander who was still able to un sling his short barreled M-4 rifle releasing approximatly 20 rounds in the general direction of what he thought was a terrorist attack. Then, another legal carry customer pulled out his high capacity magazine, semi automatic pistol ,and began shooting at the rifleman thinking the store was being invaded by a street gang, but he, himself, was then shot by a customer who thought an anti-government militia was holding customers hostage. This initiated gunfire from even more armed 'good guy' customers with guns, who began firing at anyone they suspected of being a 'bad guy' with guns. Then, when the Police, responding to 911 reports of numerous 'bad guys' with guns shooting up the store, arrived, they encountered numerous people holding still smoking guns in hand, some even still shooting at perceived 'bad guys'. The Police could only assume that these armed people were the 'bad guys' with guns, whereupon in defense of themselves, and the public in general, in a still fluid 'active shooter' scene, they took immediate action to end the perceived threats posed to themselves, and the public, by armed 'bad guys', which simply inadvertantly added to the casuality toll, which included both civilians, and police officers.
This horrible, yet avoidable, senseless tragedy certainly won't be the last of its kind in our newly expanded 'gun totting' paronoid society, where even a 'good guy' with a gun, could turn out being the 'bad guy' with a gun, and where the best way to stop a 'good guy' with a gun, is a 'good guy' with a gun.
This is your still shaken 'reporter' BuddyBlack signing off for now Bob, and seriously considering the 'Home delivery' option from now on. :/ :/




However, THIS story actually happened;

Indianapolis police say two men got into an altercation in the dairy section at a Kroger grocery store; one shot and killed the other.

Burn Book, Burn!

Well thank goodness we have 'hero's' who are 'intelligent' enough to stand up and be our official Censorship goons! Just the other day I was thinking just how "uncomfortable" I have felt ever since I read that particular book so many years ago. Oh, to recover all those sleepless nights, those fingernail biting days, the years of anxiety filled minutes, all because my eyes saw those 'words' that cannot be un-seen. Yes, by all means, let's kill 'To Kill A Mockingbird', and why stop there, we should find every book that contains an 'offensive word', and 'offensive thoughts', and toss them in the burn pile as well. I don't mean to stray off into 'religion' here but, are they keeping the 'Bible' on their shelves? Pretty gruesome, and offensive stuff in there too. "What's good for the goose, is good for the gander". Just sayin'. Be the first on your block to complain about an 'offensive' word in some literary novel in your local library. Remember, books are our enemy! Sticks and stones may break my bones, but printed 'words' just ruin my eyes! So let's get those book burning bonfires roaring, heap'em high with knowledge, and after we have burned the books we can burn their authors, and before the fire burns down we can toss in those folks who were curious enough to read those books in the first place. Burn book, burn!

All you gotta do is place hands on your TV, stomp your feet three times, swivel your head round and round till you're dizzy with jesus, donate 20% of each pay check, leave me in your 'will', and whamo, you will be pretty much saved, and practically forgiven of almost all your sins, and your name will be placed on the 'waiting list' to pass through those pearly gates where the streets are paved in 18 carot faux gold. Anyway, guess what? I know who you 'mockers' are! I do! Really! Do you know what 'Blasphemous' means? Well, apparently not or you'd shut your sinner holes, and leave me alone! Hey, I'm trying to save souls here! Jesus gave me really big powers, and all I gotta do is send a 'god' tweet to the big guy in the sky, and all you meanies will be toast! "God will punish" the daylights right out of you! Wham! Just like that, 'vengence is mine, sayeth the lord'. Now, is that what you sinners want? Huh? Is it!? Well, you've been fair warned, so don't start whining when your arse starts frying in that big skillet in the Devils kitchen! God and I hate "mean people", and we mean business, so stop it, you "mean mockers"!'
