"It's as easy as brain surgery with a chainsaw." . . . Please come CAPTION Ben Carson!!!



Ben ("Just hold still for a minute, will ya?&quot Carson just finished saying: "If it's a majority of people in that area want a Confederate flag to fly, I certainly wouldn't take it down. . . . Who's to say that even some of my own ancestors weren't proud to be slaves under its banner? . . . Maybe thousands of them teared up to the strains of Ol' Dixie Mine and wept to be part of the land of cotton that stretched out beneath that glorious flag! . . . I mean whose to say anyway?"

"The Pope and I are best buds." . . . Please come CAPTION Kim Davis!!



Kim ("My hubbies were all wieners&quot Davis is saying: "You're right, Megyn, The Pope was very supportive of my mission. . . . Some might find this hard to believe, but he told I should spearhead a nationwide movement to ban all gays, gay songs, gay expressions, and other gayness from public life. . . . He told me to convert as many as I could, and drive the rest of them back into the shadows . . . or he said I could get rid of them by any means I deemed necessary. . . . He also mentioned that there could be a sainthood in it for me. . . . I told you it might be hard to believe!"

A morning without dick is like a bullwhip without the crack! . . . Please come CAPTION Dick Cheney!!



Dick Cheney is saying: "Chuck, like many other things, it's all in the way you look at it. Some called it an invasion and others called it liberation. . . . Some called it torture and some called it a robust discussion. . . . Just like some called it death, whereas others (like myself by the way), called it providing the ultimate safety net."

"Just follow the yellow brick road." . . . Please come CAPTION Jeb Bush!!!!



Jeb ("Sometimes I even put myself to sleep!&quot Bush is saying: "Good question, Peter. . . . Let me talk about the Colorado shooting and all the other mass shootings for a minute. . . . My best analysis is that stuff happens. . . . That might sound simplistic, but it's really very deep. . . It means that sometimes lots of stuff happens, but other times less stuff happens, and occasionally (and here's the kicker) even other stuff happens. . . . Sometimes I amaze myself!)

"Teacher's let the monkeys out!" . . . Please come CAPTION O'Reilly and the two other stooges!!



Bill ("Why do ll my dreams smell like fecal stew?&quot O'Reilly said a few seconds ago: "What I miss about high-school is that you could make stuff up about anyone or any thing, and you didn't have to care a bit, no matter much you hurt someone, cause you were just a kid."

Bernard ("My dad wouldn't give me bike until I stopped doing nasty things in public&quot McGuirk just got done saying: "Yeah, and it could be really stupid, silly, hurtful childish stuff! . . . I loved that!"

Greg ("I'd joke about my grandmother's death&quot Gutfield is saying: "You bet, guys. . . (sigh) . . . Those were the days!!"

"I'll make you wish Boehner never even considered resignation!" . . . Come CAPTION Kevin McCarthy!



Kevin ("My favorite philosopher is Orly Taitz&quot McCarthy is saying: "You're exactly right, Sean, the Benghazi Committee did more than just bring Hillary Clinton down. . . . We wouldn't have wasted the taxpayers' time and energy for simply that! . . . We also got pretend we cared about the deaths of that left-wing ambassador and his three stooges, and that's helped the Republican brand shoot up in the polls. . . . It was win-win all the way!"

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).
