"The world already has too many words!" . . . Please come CAPTION Sarah Palin!!!



Sarah (The Logician's Apprentice) Palin is saying: "Well, I'll tell ya, things just keep getting weirder and weirder. . . . For one, I don't know why Elizabeth Warren is so upset about a minimum wage for fast-food workers like she said in her speech. . . . Whatever happened to Save the Whales? Or Stop Nuclear War? . . . How does raising the minimum wage save a single whale's life or keep one nuclear weapon from dropping? . . . Huh? . . . It just doesn't make sense. . . . And she had a big audience!!! . . . Why would anyone ever listen to someone who talks crazy all the time? . . . That's what Id like to know."



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

Above CAPTION based on the rambling drunkenness of her Warren observations in the following Media Matters story:

"Suck on this, Attila, you commie!!!" . . . Please come CAPTION Ted Nugent!!!!!




Ted (the-human-anal-plug) Nugent is saying: "Listen, first they invite me to come and speak in Toledo and then I do (brilliantly I might add), and now they got the nerve to print letters to the editor complaining that I came. . . . Here's your 'freedom of the press!!' . . . Suck on this!!!"

"I drink kerosene just to stay sane." . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Erick Erickson!!!



Erick (the-human-stump) Erickson is saying: "Hypocrisy? . . . Hypocrisy? . . . I know hypocrisy, Bill, but this tops them all! . . . The fa- . . ., I mean the homosexuals, the so-called 'gays' (although they never seemed that happy to me, or very pleasant even), . . . well these homosexuals with their radical gay agenda are trying to marginalize Christians, just because we want to wipe them off the face of God's green earth!!! . . . Have you ever heard of such duplicity Bill? . . . Ah, Bill . . .?"

Above CAPTION rather closely based (I'm ashamed for our species to admit it) on the following Media Matters story:

"Eubola's got nothing on me!" . . . Please come CAPTION Michelle Bachmann!!!!



Michelle ("Why is everyone walking away?&quot Bachmann is saying: "Well, Sean, I'd say they're absolutely right when they say that it was the Democrats who, for fund raising purposes, first said the Republicans wanted to impeach the president, . . . plus to trick us. . . . We weren't even talking about impeachment, . . . but now when we respond (accurately I might add) that we haven't been talking about it, Obama says, 'Ah hah! You see, you are talking about it. . . . You said the word!' . . . Like on the schoolyard! . . . Now it's my understanding that such a series of lies, this being the most recent example, can easily be considered 'high crimes and misdemeanors.'"

The Farewell-in-Hell Speech!!! . . . Please come CAPTION Tricky Dick!!!!



Forty years ago Richard ("Mom never really liked me&quot Nixon is saying: "My only error was making and keeping the tapes. . . . If it wouldn't have been for them, my enemies wouldn't have been able to make things up so easily, . . . for instance, they couldn't have heard all those things which weren't there . . . or read between the lines some crazy text that really came from inside their own heads, and things of that nature. . . . That should be clear as (expletive deleted) pie!"

The Barker with the Marker! . . . Please come CAPTION Anthony Weiner!!!!




Anthony ("I wonder who put the well in endowed?&quot Weiner is thinking: "Wow! This is the greatest idea I ever had . . . or anyone else for that matter. . . . Open up a restaurant in Queens. . . Like a tiny voice told me. . . But it also said I just got to always remember . . . repeat it to yourself over and over . . . . can't forget: Just wash your hands! . . . Wash your hands! . . Wash your hands!"

"Praise the Lard!" . . . Please come CAPTION Tony Perkins, Pres. of Family Research Council!!



Tony ("I've not dreamt a single dream since I was 13&quot Perkins is saying: "Megyn, there's one single, simple reason the far-left-wing, arch liberal Southern Poverty Law Center labeled The Family Research Council an anti-gay hate group: . . . it's because they're an anti-Christian hate group!!! . . . At the Family Research Council we don't hate gays one bit. . . . We love all our fellow human beings. . . . In fact we only supported the Uganda law imposing the death penalty for homosexual conduct because it shows that country's Christian love of healthy and religiously strong communities filled with clean-minded citizens. . . . And then think of the homosexuals!!! . . . . Out of love, Uganda releases them from a life of sexual depravity and uncontrollable lusts. . . . No, we here at FRC love all our fellow beings, . . . as was commanded by Almighty God!

Get your back-to-school lies here. . . Please come CAPTION Sean Hannity!!!!



Sean ("I never knew a dog who was smarter than me. Well, there was one . . . &quot Hannity is saying, "Listen, you simpleton, you mindless liberal, believing everything you read, especially everything that comes out of left-wing academic studies . . . 'Social science investigation,' my sweet ass!!!! . . . (Excuse my French.) . . . I don't have to 'prove there's significant in-person voter fraud,' for one simple reason, you twerp: Everybody knows it!!! . . . It's a common fact! . . . Why don't you logically prove to me the theory of gravity??? . . . Huh? . . . You can't do it can you, even though you know gravity's real and keeps us from flying off the earth and into outer space. . . , You liberals take the cake! . . . Don't they teach logic anymore in college?"

"When I look in the mirror I get confused." . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Brit Hume!!!



Brit (brilliant-when-alone) Hume is saying "Well, Bret, it's obvious to a number us who have studied this matter and thought deeply about it over the past several years, as you know I have. Benghazi at this point boils down to a single thing: a cover-up of a cover-up of a cover-up of a cover-up! . . . Think about it! . . . How did they get to Issa? . . . Why did Ailes tell us to 'Shut-up already!'? (And in not-such polite language.) . . . Nothing else makes a bit of sense."







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

Above CAPTION not based on anything so much as the awareness of Fox's silence after The House Intelligence Committee cleared the administration of all wrong-doing. The deafening hush after two years of hysterical mouth frothing as documented in the following Media Matters story which mainly consists of a film of Fox's past nastiness and insistence on Benghazi.

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).
