"I want real air, air you can see and feel and taste!" Please come CAPTION Fox's Jonathan Hoenig!



Jonathan ("I was the quick study in my middle-school's impromptu, daily circle j*erks, if you know what I mean&quot Hoenig is saying: "Listen, guys, we need more smokestacks, more coal fires, more methane from fracking ruptures, . . . in fact, we need more particulates of all sorts, because the consistently strong and vital energy they represent is the only thing that can protect us from them. . . . I mean have you ever seen the air-conditioners on apartment windows and pollution masks on children's faces in Beijing? . . . I rest my case."

Scratch the match, light the fuse, and get ready. . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!




Donald ("Isn't Yahweh a Lebanese waffle franchise?&quot is thinking: "I'm like Jesus Christ Himself, but instead of suffering the little children to come unto me, I'll be asking the Islamic terrorists and the supportive Muslim community to come unto me. . . . Then, when I get them where I want them . . .WOW!!! . . . It's going to be beautiful."







Happy mid-holiday weekend!

"You can't step into the same river even the first time." . . . Please come CAPTION Newt Gingrich!!




Newt ("I need a younger wife&quot Gingrich is saying: "Listen, Chris, Mr. Trump is very steadfast in his political positions. . . . I can tell you precisely what he stands for on each and every issue. . . . His positions are consistent, and consistently evolving. . . . That is, Mr Trump is steadfast in the original sense of 'consistent,' 'con-' 'sistere': 'to stand firmly' or 'to place oneself against the flow.' . . . But as any linguist knows, these evolved from time-sensitive cases in the Proto-Indo-European, and therefore the precise and original meaning of 'consistent' is most accurately rendered as 'to stand in the moment' or 'to place oneself in the flow of time.' . . . Surely you can see my point."

The greatest speakers ever will be at my convention! . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!



Donald (I don't like words with too many consonants. Makes me feel like I'm in a concentration camp&quot Trump is saying: "So, gee, it's not too hard to figure out, James, is it? . . . I'll want speakers at the convention who can really articulate my positions, really, really smart people with a full and athletic command of the language. . . . I'm thinking like Sarah Palin, . . . Mike Tyson, . . . and like Alfred E. Newman, if he's available."

"Why am I always smelling sulfur?" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!



Donald ("I'm just a humble messenger&quot Trump just finished saying: "And I heard that when Bill pulled himself off the attorney general in the latest of their impromptu nasty-swinger sessions, that he reminded her of the photos he had from their time with the little leaguers at Nodville outside Newark. . . . Just to be clear: I'm not saying that, . . . it's just what I hear."

Voted 'Most Likely to Deceive'! . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!




Donald ("I wouldn't let Attila be my houseboy&quot Trump is saying: "The problem with Scalia was that he was a liberal simp, a weak, far-left-winger who made everyone think he was an arch conservative."

The Walk-Around Coma. . . Please come CAPTION the Real Alex Jones!!




Alex ("Mom caught me sniffing her panties, but I told her I was investigating something big, really big!&quot Jones just finished saying: "Gary, you're a courageous hero for writing this book. I hope you don't have any accidents, if you know what I mean. . . . I don't want to get into speculation, but it sounds like the Clintons have an entire squad of hit-men on retainer."

To Dream the Impossible Scream. . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!

Donald ("when has thinking ever helped?&quot Trump is saying: "Waterboarding isn't enough. . . . It's not even a decent beginning! . . . We have to get serious with these monsters. . . . We have to learn how to do the unthinkable. . . . And I'm the perfect guy to figure out what the unthinkable is! . . . I have the right kind of brains for 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).
