From
Shepherd Express:
I’m
Art Kumbalek and man oh manischewitz what a world, ain’a? So listen, I hear our Governor Snidely Whiplash’s billionaire-boat,
the USS Pay For Play, has sprung a leak, what the fock.
Here’s what I know, and it’s the strangest thing. Some days ago I
thought to check my dinky email inbox. I only get about a handful per
week—messages from Sears about their latest sale on men’s socks, and like
ilk—but I couldn’t get the goddamn thing to open. So me, being a regular Mr.
Dell Jobs, assumed the logical thing to do would be to curse a blue streak
whilst rapidly hammering random buttons along with a flurry of combined random
buttons. Sha-focking-zam! Not only did the inbox pop to life but I had way, way
over 1,000 new messages to gander at, I kid you not
.
None of them were for me. All were addressed to and sent by people
I’d never heard of. Jeez louise, had I accidentally hacked into someone else’s
schmutz? So of course I began to open these babies so’s to take a peek and
maybe get a fix on what the fock was going on here.
The first one I opened said this: Hey, since the Governor is so ecstatic that our lead paint provision
passed the Legislature, should Scooter’s new nickname be ‘Sherwin’ or ‘Dutch
Boy’?
The next one: OMG. The Guv
confessed to me that he had a HUGE crush on Bea Arthur when he was younger.
Wasn’t she one of those transgender types?
And: To all: The Governor
reiterated to me to remind you that at the risk of immediate termination, to
never, ever mention to absolutely ANYONE that he always roots for the Bears.
Holy focking cow, ain’a? But before I could open another, the
mysterious emails vanished, along with the few older ones addressed to me. Was
I hacked? Beats me, but a few moments later a new message popped up. It had no
identifying info or text or attachments; however, in the Subject box was this:
“Cheerio, Mate.”
Anyways, anybody hear anything about Bart Starr’s latest stem cell
treatment down Mexico way? Yeah, me neither. And why the poor guy has to go to
a foreign country south of the border, I’ll never focking figure out.
Hope it goes well, although I am surprised there hasn’t been more
hubbub about it, in a righteous negative way. Cripes, I remember not that many
years back when a whole bunch of citizens were clapping their hands and waving
American flags (the special flags, the ones with a 51st star for the State of
Ignorance) on account that a U.S. district judge put the kibosh on federal
funding for all embryonic stem cell research. These were the people whom the lord
told that that glob in a lab dish is a human being and oughtn’t be dicked with.
And
what a life, ain’a? I tell you, if that were me flat on my would-be ass in a
Petri dish, I’d say who needs this bullshit. All around me I’d hear the lab
guys and gals making lunch plans, going out for a smoke break, making plans for
the weekend and all the time there I am, stuck in a dish. That’s no way to
live, I don’t care who—or what—you
are, or were, I kid you not.
As
one sitting in a dish, I sure as shootin’ would want the scientists to get
their butts in gear and figure out the way to grow me into some kind of human
tissue, so I could replace the crappy cells inside a real, live, walking-around
human being. Now that would be sweet.
Yeah,
get out of the dish and get planted into some guy who’s going to start feeling
a whole lot better because of me, and then watch out! We’ll take in a ballgame,
have a couple, three ice-cold bottled beers.
Maybe take a walk along the beach,
or decide to screw it and just stay home, make a nice baloney sandwich and
watch us some TV. Or wait, best yet, we’ll go get us a wad of singles yea-thick
and head on over to the nearest gentlemen’s club and research the female form.
Now that’s what I call living.
And
you know what? Apparently it’s not too late to help these human beings stuck in
lab dishes get a real life. Write all your bonehead politicians and tell them
you demand that they either push real hard to get the green light for unlimited
funding for this eggs-cell-ent research (there’s money to be made in
eradicating disease, what the fock), or you’re going to conduct your own
research on replacement politicians to better serve the body politic come next
election (early voting starts in a couple, three days, don’t you forget), ’cause
I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.
