The language of the rut. . . . Please come CAPTION Ted Cruz!!!!



Ted ("Drunk with stupidity&quot Cruz is saying: "Only a fool would bring politics up at a time like this, George. . . . The vote on weather or not to attack Syria will be the most important one that many of my colleagues will ever have to face. . . . But let me say this, if he does attack without congressional approval, he will be demonstrating once more the arrogant disregard of the American people that we've seen time after time, in Benghazi, with Obamacare, at the IRS, with so-called emergency appointments, by arming drug cartels, in supporting the Arab Spring, etc., etc., and he should be immediately impeached!"

No head? No Heart? No problem! Please come PROVIDE A READING FROM Rush Limbaugh's tome!!!



Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, Chapter One, page 1.:

Rush Revere had been raised on The Bible and clean laundry. He never tried to stick his foot in his mouth, and he didn't tickle other boys. One bright morning at the groaning table, Rush asked his dimpled mother, "Why do the other kids make fun of me all the time?"

Mrs. Revere looked kindly down at her son and said, "Because they're jealous of you always being right."

Cute, chunky Rush then asked, "May I please have some more corporal punishment? . . . Please??"

Mrs. Revere slowly spread he hands over her wide belly beneath the apron and replied, "Finish your breakfast first dear. There's three platefuls of sausage left and two dozen hardboiled eggs, beside the tub of oatmeal. . . . Your father will be down soon."

Plump as Puddin' Rush was overjoyed. "Maybe he'll use the heft-mallet this time!"

Chuckling, Mrs. Revere quipped, "You can never tell, dear."

Flatulent is as flatulent does. Please come CAPTION Head Wreck!!!



Glenn ("Parsing the hair floating on a fart from a flea's ass&quot Beck is saying: "Listen, even you bozos at The New York Times Magazine should be able to figure this out. . . . I never, not once, called for Obama's impeachment!!! . . . Not even close . . . Calling for a special counsel to explore the possibility of impeaching Obama over his handling, or rather not handling, of the Benghazi affair is not, I repeat not, calling for his impeachment!!! . . . . Neither is demanding his impeachment for orchestrating the Boston bombings! . . . Or telling the Tea Party that impeachment doesn't go far enough! . . . They're not even close! . . . You guys the guts to print that?"

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!!!"

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).
