"This is your mind without a brain." . . . Please come CAPTION Elizabeth Hasslebeck!!!



Elizabeth ("Palin is right. . . . You never know when you'll need a tissue.&quot Hasslebeck is saying: "You guys are exactly right! . . . This wasn't a hate crime! . . . Who cares that the Charleston shooter was white and his target was a historically important black church? . . . Who cares what the told the woman he set free? . . . Who cares about his insignias and what he told friends about starting another Civil War between whites and blacks? . . . This was obviously not motivated by racial hatred. . . . Rather it was another attack on Christianity! . . . How plain can it be?"

(To be fair, these three stooges were claiming the liberal press was jumping to a conclusion calling this a 'hate crime," the morning after the shooting, before we knew what he had said to the woman he let loose and before we knew about the insignias and childhood friend, before in fact we even knew the shooter's name. . . . But we did know he was white and shot up a historically significant black church. So the liberal press was not jumping to conclusions, as they maintained.)

"Filming the police should be a capital offense!" . . . Please come CAPTION Bill O'Reilly!!!



Bill ("In a color-blind society, profiling should come naturally&quot O'Reilly is about to say: "One thing is obvious: the war on police has become more profound, more robust, and more deadly because of the citizens' use of cameras and smart phones to record them. . . . Such recording invariably results in rising tensions in conflicts, increasing violence and the disregard for authority, with the result more and more honest policemen have to defend themselves with deadly force . . . only to be dragged into court for protecting their own lives . . . . This is truly tortured!"

"My kids are packin'." Please come CAPTION Steve Doocy!!!!



Steve ("You'll never go broke betting against my intelligence&quot Doocy just finished saying; "Well, there's one lesson and one lesson only we can take from the Charleston church shootings: we need more pastors packing! . . . Some of the lay folk as well. . . . Hell, we should even arm the children randomly. . . . A shooter like this might save the kids for last, . . . then, boy, will he be surprised!! . . . Well, if there's a Christen message here, that's it!"

The greatest meets the greatest!!! . . . Please come CAPTION O'Reilly's interview with Trump!!!

"Just 'cause I'm Catholic doesn't mean I'm stupid." . . . Please come CAPTION Jeb Bush!!!!




Jeb ("Hispanic as I wanta be&quot Bush is saying: "I mean, it's only logical. The Pope should worry about our individual souls. . . . The fate of the planet is too important to be left to the Pope! . . . It should be decided by a more knowing, more compassionate, more deliberative and, shall we say it?, more-spiritual group: that is . . . politicians!"

"The Pope wears dresses!" . . . Please come CAPTION Rush Limbaugh!!!



Rush ("I've got my morals in my back pocket, . . . . in a pair of jeans I lost in 1972&quot Limbaugh is saying: "Listen, ladies and gentlemen, if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, this Pope Dandruff, or Francis or whatever, is an anti-capitalist, anti-America, anti-petroleum, anti-progress leftist-ideologue, . . . . .I mean, he's 'anti' everything except the poor. . . . So where the heck does he get the moral authority to tell us to stop killing the planet???? . . . Of all the gall!"

"Listen, I'm not telling you his rate! It's none of your business!



It only makes sense that when I loan God money, he has a special rate. . . . He's God, after all!"

"What's that cumulous cloud doing on your head?" Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!




Donald ("Mortality's for suckers.&quot Trump is saying: "I would like to announce that today I am officially a candidate for the office of The President of the United States. They say I don't offer up any specifics, but I've got big plans: win in the middle east, fix immigration, get rid of all harmful regulation, solve our trade deficit, and . . . oh yeah, a put a disco in the basement of the White House. . . . How could I get more specific that that? . . . This is going to be great!! . . . Humungous!!!"
June 16, 2015

Please come CAPTON CNN's hard-hitting interview with Jeb (Better fed than bred!) Bush!!




CNN's Dana ("It makes me hot to see how fair I'm being.&quot Bash is saying "Well to be honest, wouldn't you say Governor that what your detractors now call slut shaming was really a program to empower women, having single mothers publish letters in the newspapers before putting their children up for adoption since it's an effort to bring fathers back into their lives, allowing the mothers to have child-support or a healthy family environment, taking pressure off of social services and allowing women to experience independent and significant lives. . . . Isn't that true, Governor? . . . What could be wrong about that? . . . Okay, next question: How do you like your oatmeal? . . . "

"It's like Obama pulled the trigger!" . . . . Come CAPTION Fox's Ainsley Earhardt!!!

?1434340515


Fox News Host Ainsley ("Morals are for losers&quot Earhardt is saying: "I think you're exactly right, agent Rowan, the anti-police rhetoric directly causes these attacks on police! . . . And the greatest offender is at the top, the speeches of the Attorney General and so-called President Obama. . . . Why it's like he bought that armored car himself and the started blasting, looking for a police body-count. . . . I think it's fair to call him our 'Terrorist-in-Chief!" . . . How's that going too far? . . . Stay tuned for more fair-and-balanced reporting. . . . After the commercial, we'll discuss Hillary's plans to bankrupt America."

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).
