Sunday, the bouquet of days. Please come CAPTION Pep Boys Wanta Be, Bret Baier!!!



Bret ("The facts? No sweat.&quot Baier is saying: "Some say Mandela is not ill at all but actually a spry 94-year old who plays badminton seven days a week. They say he faked an illness just so he did not have to meet with Obama, reflecting the contempt felt around the world for the United States under this administration, the most inept, corrupt and hidden, by the way, in the history of the Republic. . . . Well that's it for Special Report, "fair and balanced" as always. . . . Now stay tuned for Shepard Smith who has heard rumors of a drug-and-prostitution ring being run out of the Oval Office.. . . . Goodnight and stay safe."

"The Wicked Witch of the West was a powder-puff." Please come CAPTION Gretchen Carlson!!!



Gretchen ("Did anyone notice my legs?&quot Carlson is saying: "And Mr. Rogers, that evil, evil man, taught our kids they were special just for being who they were and they didn't have to work or strive to be special or even earn the respect of others and in fact were entitled to a carefree existence of mindless simplicity. . . . Mr. Rogers, my rear-end! . . . Like 'Mr. Hitler' or 'Mr. Genghis Kaahn' or 'Mr. Hannibal Lecter!. . . . He was a madman and a criminal and should have been prosecuted. . . Who else would encourage such a sense of vacuous self-esteem, of belief over thought, of mindless egoism? . . . And over television to boot!"

Who let the hen into the fox-house? Please come CAPTION Fox's Tucker Carlson!!!



Tucker ("Just call me a genius&quot Carlson is saying: "So if they're right and there was no 'stand-down order,' that's even more damning. . . . Much more so. . . . Just who was it didn't give that order? . . . What wasn't on his mind or in his plans? . . . And who didn't he work in collaboration with . . . or perhaps under the orders of? I mean under whose direction didn't he take orders? . . . Something's very, very fishy!"

Glenn Beck is working up a case of the wet-works, Please come CAPTION the ninny!!!



Glenn ("Sometimes I'll punch myself in the nuts during commercial" ) Beck is saying: "I've learned to cry without pissing myself. . . . But it took a lot of pretty messy practice."

"Take that, logic." Please come CAPTION Head Wreck!!!



Glenn ("If there was a pill for me it would be fecal blue" ) Beck is saying: "If the traditional definition of marriage is cast aside, you cannot logically tell me you can't change another variable: one man, three women. One woman, four men. Two men, three women, and a bakery shop. Two goats, one daffodil and two bad-mitten rackets. A ton of scrap iron, an open wound, three door-mice, and a vat of unprocessed cheese. . . . You get the picture. . . . Who is silly enough to make this stuff up!? . . . Geez."

The evil of thought. . . . Please come CAPTION Michele Bachmann!!



Michele ("You never know when you'll need a tissue" ) Bachmann is saying: "Some people think believing in climate change is harmless, but I've always seen it as the height of madness if not a sign of out-right evil. . . . Don't they realize what climate change means? . . . Oceans rising . . .Lands boiling . . . Extinction of thousands of species . . . And so on, and so on . . . Heck, they're even proud of it, constantly bringing it up and everything. . . . These people are sick."

Now that sodomy is the law of the land, please come CAPTION Antonin Scalia!!



Antonin ("I'm getting a set of wooden teeth made" ) Scalia is saying: "Just how is it legal to deny me the right to discriminate? Where in the Constitution does it say I am not free to deny others freedom??? Who gives anyone the right to keep me from taking their rights???. . . Doesn't anyone know the law around here???"
June 26, 2013

DOMA was your friend. Please come CAPTION Bill (the whining bully) O'Reilly!!!



Billy ("Shut up. Just shut up!" ) O'Reilly is saying: "But now, the liberals on the Court are not only telling us what constitutes marriage despite the electorate's desires, circumventing democracy itself, but they have opened he flood gates to legalizing polygamy, bestiality, necrophilia, cloning orgies, the genetic splicing of god-only-know-what-with-what, nano-sex bots, and everything else you can't even imagine yet! . . . It's not a victory for gay rights' advocates, it's the end of the United States as we know it and a disaster for the planet! . . . And that's the memo. . . . Now onto Obama's obsession with brothers and thugs in his administration."

Where has she been all my life? Please come CAPTION Orly Taitz!!



Orly ("There's one side to every story" ) Taitz is saying: "Listen, Chris, use some common sense logic, alright? . . . If I was 'nuts,' as you put it, I wouldn't know whether I was nuts or not, right? But if I was merely obsessed, then I only might know if I was nuts, but I also might not. Yet if I was nuts and obsessed, on the other hand, then I couldn't know if I was sane or only obsessed. But since, I do know I'm neither obsessed or insane, then I couldn't be either one. It only follows. . . . See?"

Words are a waste of letters. Come CAPTION Mitch ('Ditch the Car. Wipe the gun.') McConnell!!




Mitch, ol' gasoline-on-any-fire, McConnell is saying: "I'll tell you precisely why I call these liberal groups are 'un-American.' . . . In the American legal system, a wife cannot be compelled to testify against her husband, or vice versa. . . . But groups like Media Matters , which believe me stands for many of them, consistently use conservatives' very words to attack them!!! . . . That's even worse! . . . Well, maybe that's 'Taliban justice,' or 'terrorist justice,' or 'Sharia Law' or whatever, . . . but it's definitely un-American!"

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).
