Remember to take out the garbage. . . . Then please come CAPTION Steve Doocy!!!



Steve (never-one-for-sustained-cognition) Doocy is saying: "They were forced to close just because they refused to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple! . . . Just how is this a free country if they can't deny others their rights?, . . . especially peoples' whose lifestyle offends them? . . . Call that liberty???? . . . Next, the government will force small businesses to cater to man-and-cow weddings, or in serve man-and-piglet dinners in restaurants!!! . . . Disgusting! . . . And maybe they'll have to let them do it . . . right there . . . in front of Mom and Dad and little Suzy! . . . Call that freedom? . . . You bet!!"

The dark rush to the bottom. . . . Please come CAPTION Limbaugh!!!



Rush ("When I take a dump, I take a dump!&quot Limbaugh is saying: " . . . and the Republicans are primarily scared because of his race, ladies and gentlemen. . . . They're afraid of being called the r-word. . . . They're afraid that if they say Obama and his thugs (you know who they are) have taken over the White House, indeed, the entire executive branch!, with their getto morals, jive-*ss values, and drive-by politics, that they'll be called racists! . . . Imagine!!!"

The square root of minus-impossible-one. . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Judge Napolitano!!!



Judge Andrew ("I wanted to be a mob lawyer, but they said they couldn't stand my dupicities&quot Napolitano is saying: "You're absolutely right, Sean; I had sharply criticized Obama for not seeking Congressional approval before attacking Syria. . . . It showed him to be both arrogant and impulsive! . . . .But that was almost a week ago. . . . The fact that he is now seeking that approval when he clearly doesn't need it under the law, indicates that he is cowardly and indecisive. . . There's a big difference!!! . . . See?"

Animated roadkill on the loose! . . . Please come CAPTION Ted Cruz!!!



Ted ("What's wrong? . . . I don't smell anything!&quot Cruz is saying, "The trouble with these wishy-washy, left-leaning Republicans, so-called, is that they don't love their country enough to shut it down! . . . Imagine! . . . They want to divide us! . . Listen to their rhetoric!! . . . They call me crazy. . . They call me a bomb-throwing ideologue. . . . The reincarnation of Joe McCarthy. . . . They call me all sorts of things. . . . . Maybe so the Democrats will win the next cycle of elections. . . . I don't know. . . . All I know is that I'm a uniter, not a divider... . . And these cowardly, whining lapdogs of the administration, Republicans-in-name-only, pork-barrel flower sniffers and club-house polo watchers, poetry reading, horse-dancing ninnies, and so on had better get with it!!!"

The laborious for a Labor Day. Please come CAPTION "Where's the birth certificate?" Jerome Corsi.



Jerome ("The Mother-of-All-Conspiracy-Theories will come out in a just a couple days. You won't be able to believe it!&quot Corsi is saying: "I'm here to tell you sex is not about fun! . . . Who knows better than me??? "

A member of WHAT? Come CAPTION Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) from the Congressional Science Committee!!!



Dana ("Just don't call me late-for-summer!&quot Rohrabacher is saying: "I admit, I was wrong about global warming or climate change or whatever you want to call it. . . . I said on the record that it was a scam perpetuated by scientists in order to get lucrative government grants, tenure, promotion, and more scientific jobs. . . . Boy was I wrong! . . . I was blind! . . . Somehow I couldn't see the big picture. . . . But now I know the truth! . . . Actually global warming is a scam perpetuated by thousands of leaders from over four-dozen nations in order to establish a one-world government . . . . because, they claim, only a one-world government can solve a massive (but fake) worldwide disaster. . . . It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong, but 'the facts are the facts,' as they say."

"How dare he change his mind!" . . . Please come CAPTION John McCain!!!



John (Where meaning something doesn't mean believing anything) McCain is saying, "Listen clearly now! . . . You're right, I was for intervention in Syria since I believed that letting the Assad regime get away with using poisonous gas on his own people was not only morally wrong, allowing the powers of darkness loose in the world without consequence (it would be like a vote for Satan!), but it was also sending the wrong message to rogue powers with or trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction. . . In fact it could change the world's political dynamic and usher in a post-America age that would leave us in the dirt,. . . . We could be sacrificing the modern world as well as our nation. . . . But in the last week or so, for some reason I've simply changed my mind. . . . Got it?"

About skip fox

I am retired, now a professor emeritus at University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where I taught in the English department for 37 years. I've written 4 chapbooks and 5 full-sized books (all listed as poetry though many include other genres as well), including _Sheer Indefinite: Selected Poems, 1991-2012 (Univ. of New Orleans Press, 2012). I've also written a 500+ page bibliography of three contemporary poets: Robert Creeley, Ed Dorn, and Robert Duncan. I am writing now, both fiction and poetry, more now than ever. My first vote for President of the United States was for Dick Gregory in 1968 (Bowling Green, Ohio). Favorite quote: "It's easy to be an idealist if you don't have to mind the evidence, but no one said it was supposed to be easy" (Richard LaPauvre).
