Well, as the sh** is hitting the fan,

On "Black Lives Matter!":

So you got a tan in Hawaii

But now the cops stop you at every other intersection.

Having a black poodle doesn’t help, because he barks at any

And all people that come near the car.

The vet bills are mounting, owing to stitches you have to pay for

Every time your dog is teased and tased.

At first you thought it’s coincidence, or red sportscar envy,

But you know better now: It’s endemic to a police state.

Your president only exacerbates the situation

With his incindiary Tweets, making him complicit in an

Already bad, out of bounds, situation.

Then you told the FBI about Donald Trump being complicit.

And now they are knocking at your door at all odd hours

Driving the poodle crazy and resulting in yet more vet-bills.

It that your concern Orpheus?

Well take a knee and pull up your socks!

Go and vote the Russian agent and his accomplices out,

And all his other co-conspirators!

OR at least give them the ax, the ax, the ax!

How about throwing our bi-bladed "Boomerax"
to settle political differences in government?
An effective throwing weapon for all agitators?!
We suggest santioned free-thowing use on Capitol Hill.
(Batteries not included.)

Applied 20/20 division!

<6 feet>

The red hen might just lay a blue egg. It did, it did!
What you must do with this egg:

Bring the point home! Bear down on the complicit, spineless coconspirators!

it is done

Done by 2021!

The Conventions of new Facts:

Goebbles JR. speaking about a new Hitler,

a Donald with a song in his heart:

One noble being that frees prisoners from all over the globe;

all the while he is too modest to mention the local prisoners he frees.

Criminals of financial and political bent whom he frees to save them

from the clutches of our evil, fake court system. Yes,

a recurring song from the heart of one aiming to ultimately pardon himself

as soon as he has gathered a sufficient quantity of newly spun facts.

A dancer, spinning to a different pirouette, spinner of spins.

You thought these were fire works after the Trump speech - no, no, no.........

They were the lie-detector batteries that blew up from overload!

You see: Trump's lies did matter!

there once was a Russian agent ........

“New facts for old!”.

Hopefully old news!

New facts for the new United Kingdoms of America

where the democratic process will be

a mere formality like in Russia.

Birds of a feather From humble beginnings in 1941

New on the DelARTe.com site: We encurage: Antique Drone Collecting!:

Surely you want to beat the Antiques Road Show on PBS,

From Bombs to holy-water deliveries .... what an evolution!

So you missed collecting the eary PC's - now is your chance to get a plaque in some museum:

before it's too late

Before it's too late ..... again.

Or would you rather collect dirty pictures?!

Delarte.com aims to put the nude back into the renude

political and cultural activities.

(UnARTige Bilder)

Either way you have come to the right place:

100x100 real dirty

It's in the eye of the beholder! You see? The above is what the computer sees.

So, you 've heard about the Covid 19 virus, have you?

But truth be told: Your pastor said to you it's just a hoax.
Now your grandparents are all gone (all four).
But they didn't change their wills in time to favor you.
Bummer, all you got are the fish from the aquarium,
yes, the one you set up to look like an HDTV, what fun!
But now the repo-man wants the coffins back, the four you just
had incinerated at the mausoleum, all that is left now is Suschi.
Is that what's irking you, Pagliacci?

Not even the melted gold teeth can be had as they are missing from the ashes,
cremation policy, they said; and the urns aren't paid for either.
Siblings from all over the country have suddenly reappeared
demanding their share of what little inheritance there might still be left, but
between lawyers' fees, funeral costs and all other claims there isn't enough
to cover the flowers that now have no resale value whatsoever,
especially when divided among so many claimants.
Perhaps that's what's getting you down, Bonky?

Yes, you decided to meet all this with a stiff upper lip,
after all you are still young and healthy, impervious to influenza and such.
But immortality is developing kinks, suddenly as a fever blister obtained
at communion is making itself felt and that cough that just started
is getting dryer by the minute. A call to your doctor gets nothing but a
recorded message. Something about "putting a lime in a coconut and call again."
Now your breath is on the blink as you huff and puff just using the PC.
Might that be what's worrying you, Bublitschky?

As your fever increases amid assorted pains from not being able to breath enough
while you call the emergency line that appears to be permanently busy.
Well, at least it seems so when your cell phone actually gets a signal in the
broom closet where you find yourself rummaging for that spare USB cable.
The one that doesn't have bent contacts because you can't get it into its mini-port.
When you finally find it, it looks like the cat has had an accident and now the contacts
of the cable sport some kind of nasty looking greenish corrosion crystals in the port.
Had you not goofed off in high school chemistry there might be a way to clean it.
Now it's too late.
Is it the recent past that is getting your ire up? Genius?!

So your party affiliation with the Donald didn't protect you from getting ill;
your lack of understanding of the news, coupled with your faith didn't
solve anything. Neither did your talks with your drinking buddies or your pastor
for that matter.   Confused are ye? All you can think of is getting a job to earn some.
Perhaps in that coal mine, the one you were promised in 2016,
or at least work on the promised iron curtain down south,
you know, the one that the Mexicans didn't pay for after all......
Seems too late now that your gullet is having an allergic reaction to the respirator,
the one they got donated from some third world country where Ebola runs rampant.
Is that what's motivating your vote while your democratic system is being
hijacked by Russian interest?
Is that it, pal or are you just delirious after having willfully destroyed your own
safety net - you dope!

Pro bono contra virus!!!

You really thought you have a remedy ?!
But your home made face masks, didn't really work,
did they?!!! Shy on the concept, as usual........

Some of them much worse than others:

NO GOOD

drawing on early central American designs didn't help

neither did Dr. Schnaxel's disguises:

All told: It appears that the winner remains:

Keep your distance!!!

Keep your social distance!!! Wear a mask and vote!!! (Veto!)

dog days

As you know: One disaster rarely comes alone.
Fire Season is starting early, west nile virus is not fat behind!
Add a little black plague outbreak and what do you get?
An addition to the fire: An earthquake and a power outage:

FAIA!!! Mind you your cell phone isn't likely to work at such times.

As early experiments with cell phones demonstrated:

Honey, it's for you.... again.

That'd be the beginning and the end of it? .....Oh nooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Just when you got used to HDTV aspect ration of 16 x 9
new madness is in the offing. Because people are too lazy to turn their cell phone
horizontal to make a video, this is resulting in vignietting two vertical bands left and right
this is leading to yet another necessity:
The vertical format on your horizontal HDTV. So either turn your HDTV vertical
or suffer the vignietting, or buy a new HDTV - 8kSQUARE suggests itself.

The real problem is, of course, that your eyes are following suit:
They are developing a new aspect ratio depending on you viewing habits:

And now: For more from the devils playground:

A return to SCEWISM:

There once was a man in the White House,
he treated the place like an outhouse.
He messed with the spins until they were scewed
and the country itself found itself screwed.

So I skewed you, so what, you got what you voted for.

So I skewed you, so what, you got what you voted for.

He filled the feeble with hate and made facts for the dopes
giving miners and workers all kinds of hopes;
all the while thinking about what would really be great
is to have another Trump Tower instead.

Stiffeling health care, while proceeding with wealth care
together with Pence, they ride on a fence
a Soviet-style "iron curtain" to close every southern door
one that you and I have to pay for.

Search your souls as you look into a mirror..... what do you see?

Or could the "Trump support phenomenon" be connected to the current industrial revolution ?
The one that is currently in progress? It involves robotics and communications technology
largely incomprehensible or at least not manageable
by the undeveloped citizen who desperately clings to her "old" ways?

?

F.D. on: Art history & Art, vs. the Museum:

You and many others have often wondered why there is so much “crap”

on the walls of museums you have visited, leaving you wanting for better quality

to meet your expectations. Well, this might be an explanation of how this perception,

that is vexing so many of us, came to be: Much of what hangs on museum walls

is not necessarily good art, but is, more often than not, simply part of Art History.

E.g.: the evolution of artistic expression. As such it reveals the development of an

artist’s progress and very often reveals what the museum can afford to purchase

of an artist’s legacy. It would be silly to assume that every artist has fully worked

at the peak of their artistic achievements throughout their carrier.

"Only the mediocre work at their full peak of performance at all times!"

Much of what constitutes an artist’s oeuvre is the struggle for surmounting

skill and conceptual difficulties and developing the ideas required to make a

satisfactory whole of what plagues his or her mind and to bring the final

results to the appreciation of an audience.
