Corky-View #7 (Nashville Cat!)
I thought we should post one more "episode" of Corky before he leaves for a 4 day convention in Hackensack (?!?!?!) Whatever, Corky --- do your thing.
One must be completely insane to properly play the pedal steel guitar ... combine all-out insanity with a keen ability to be patient and you have the makings of an adequate pedal steel player. Corky is -- of course -- only pretending in this photo. Kind of like when you're President and you get your picture taken in a flight suit on the deck of an aircraft carrier, I suppose. But, Corky knows he can't play the pedal steel guitar, and he also knows that he's not fooling anybody, so we'll let him off the hook for now. I think he was emulating one of his heroes ... and that would be Randy "Tyrone" Braughton of Trailer Trash!
Maybe Corky will post from Hackensack (?)
(Basically, I'm running out of Corky-View ideas...)

(TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 2005. WASHINGTON, DC) Today Sen. Corky "The Cork" McCork denounced the Anti-Pile Eavesdropping (APE) Act of 2005 as representing an intrusion into pile owners' right to eavesdrop on anyone within earshot from the comfort of their own pile. "Limiting constitutional rights to privacy in this way will only make us all more paranoid," Sen. McCork said. He also added, "What do the sponsors of the APE Act have against fag owners?" In a rare show of candor on Capital Hill, the diapered Sen. McCork then defecated in his cage and began screeching and hopping wildly before his handlers hastened him out of the briefing room.
I hope the damn monkey takes up the steel guitar & keeps his simian nose out of politics.
I'm sure, B, that the Corkster will provide his own ideas after he gets back from his conference. Do you know what the conference is about? Probably some gathering of time travelling monkeys & right-wing Bushies planning strategy...
Hey, wait a minute...
Do you REALLY know where Corky's going? Did he pack his mitre? He might be planning an infiltration of the conclave in Rome!!!
I heard Corky mention something about Intelligent Design, opposable thumbs, and Lewis Leaky. He keeps his politics relatively private here, but I have a feeling that he's coming around --- at least he's not saying that the earth is 6,000 years old and that God put dinosaur bones on earth to test our faith anymore (that was brutal). I'm sure he'll have a report when he returns!
GM industry puts human gene into rice
By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor The Independent online
24 April 2005
Scientists have begun putting genes from human beings into food crops in a dramatic extension of genetic modification. The move, which is causing disgust and revulsion among critics, is bound to strengthen accusations that GM technology is creating "Frankenstein foods" and drive the controversy surrounding it to new heights.
Even before this development, many people, including Prince Charles, have opposed the technology on the grounds that it is playing God by creating unnatural combinations of living things.
Environmentalists say that no one will want to eat the partially human-derived food because it will smack of cannibalism.
But supporters say that the controversial new departure presents no ethical problems and could bring environmental benefits.
(Soylent Green, just sayin')
Wasn't Soylent Green made around the same time as Planet of the Apes, both with Charlton Heston? ("You can have my genes for genetic engineering when you take them from my cold, dead hands!" Charlton Heston?).
It would be interesting to find out if Corky was anti-gun lobby (knowing what he knows about the future) ... if it does, in fact, turn out that Corky and his monkey friends from the future are against the NRA, we could see a battle between them and Charlton Heston somewhere in the future -- possibly on a planet taken over by apes. Wait a minute ...
I might have to get to the bottom of this.
Since GM lost $1.1 billion in the 1st quarter of 2005, they have to find new revenue streams. Messing with the genetics of the food chain seems a logical next step to building gas guzzling, pollution spewing cars and trucks.
And Charley Heston scares me more than Corky does.
