"Did you know that black people use knives and forks too?" . . . Please come CAPTION Bill O'Reilly!!

Bill ("if only they wouldn't act so black&quot

O'Reilly is saying: "All I hear is 'racist this' and 'racist that.' . . . All day long! . . . And all night. . . . But in all my years, I've never even met a racist. . . . Not one! . . . They simply don't exist. . . . Next thing you know they'll try to rewrite history and say that slavery was a racist institution! . . . . Can you believe it?? . . .It was all simple economics, Pinheads!!!! . . . Geez."

Above CAPTION based on O'Reilly's conversation with Ken Burns on Fox, posted with a clip at Media Matters:

"LSD is for toddlers!" . . . Please come CAPTION Freedom Works Larry Klayman!!!!

Larry ("'Sanity' is just a two-syllable word&quot

Klayman I saying: "Well, Martha, I certainly object to that. . . Just how is it extreme to call Obama a Muslim and suggest he had Justice Scalia murdered to force a Constitutional crises he could exploit with declaring martial law, confiscate American's weapons, and sell our souls to ISIS and the International White Slave Market? . . . Now if I had brought up the alien invaders he's in cahoots with, then I could see your point, but no. . . . What I said is far from extremist! . . . I mean, it's all relative, isn't it?"

"My manners are the tearing off of heads!" Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!!

Donald ("I take Viagra just for the wet dreams&quot

Trump is saying: "Don't let anybody take me wrong. . . . Just because I say I'm killing my opponents in the polls, that doesn't mean I want anyone to actually kill them! . . . Even though the road to making America great again might be greatly helped if a couple of these clowns would roll over, and history would look kindly at their abrupt exit and praise anyone so involved, I don't necessarily want anyone killing them. . . . After all, that would be wrong! . . . Right?"

Subject line from Ted Hughes' "Hawk Roosting."

"My brown shirts are at the cleaners." . . . Please come CAPTION Trump's Jeff DeWit!!!

Jeff (“I drink arsenic just to feel normal&quot

Dewitt is saying: “That’s incorrect. Totally wrong! . . . Just because the Trump campaign plans to publish the names and Cleveland hotel numbers of all delegates, we are not trying to intimidate them. . . . We just want them to have them responsibly answer for their vote if it is not to be for Trump. . . . If some of Trump’s supporters get a bit emotional in the process, well, that’s them, not us. . . . After all, we’re not thugs!”

***********************************************************************************

Above CAPTION based on the scary prospect of Trump's supporters physically confronting delegates this summer as this Media Matters item with a clip makes fairly clear:

"They banned me from CNN and MSNBC because I'm right." Please come CAPTION Trump's Roger Stone!!!!

Roger ("It's not racism. It's clean living!&quot

Stone is saying: "It doesn't make any sense. . . . We are merely saying that we'll publish the names and Cleveland hotel rooms of the delegates so that the constituents of their states can look them up and discuss their ballots with them. . . . Just how is that intimidation? . . . Strong arm tactics, indeed! . . . You should be ashamed of yourself."

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).
