"Three shots to the groin? . . . In Texas that's a warning." . . . Please come CAPTION Rick Perry!!!




Rick ("What's a safety?&quot Perry is saying: "Many of my colleagues are making outrageous statements to make the debate, but not me. . . . So you can believe me when I say, only people carrying a weapon should be allowed to vote. . . . After all, how can you vote on The Constitution and those empowered to carry it out if you aren't willing to exercise your primary Civil Rights? . . . I'm not just saying that for effect and to appeal to the base. . . . It makes total sense."

"I take my idiot stand!" . . . Please come CAPTION Mike Huckabee!!!




Mike ("What do you mean: 'it's over'?) Huckabee is saying: "Now I know that many of my fellow candidates are making outrageous statements just to assure them a place on the stage this Thursday night, but I'm not like that. . . . I call them like I see them, regardless. . . . So you can believe me when I say that when I'm President I'll call out the Army, Air-force, Navy, and Marines, with all their resources, from bayonet to battleship, to fight abortion and abortion providers, illegal immigrants, crime in impoverished communities, A.C.L.U, P.E.T.A, Greenpeace, gay marriage, gangs and gang violence, the drug trade, Common Core, multi-culturalism, defilers of public airways, public breast feeding, and liberal book clubs!!!!!"

"The Hell with secession, let's go for concussion." Come CAPTION RedState.com's Erick Erickson!!!




Erik ("Never enough lobotomies!&quot Erickson is saying: "Listen, I'm not advocating overthrow of the United States government, but after watching those Planned Parenthood videos, I want to pour cement down its gas-tank and bring it to a shuddering halt. . . . And if that doesn't work, our God-fearing citizens might just come armed to the polling place! . . . I'll tell you, if our votes don't count, maybe our . . . . Well, Steve, you be the judge. . . . But like I said, revolution is the farthest thing from my mind."

"God keeps asking me for a loan." . . . Please come CAPTION (who else?) The Donald!!




Donald ("Depth is all on the surface if you look at it right.&quot Trump is saying: "And the simple answer is 'No! I do not think it's hypocrisy to say immigrants take away American jobs, while getting Visas for over a thousand to work on my properties and elsewhere. . . . First of all, we're talking about jobs Americans don't want or can't do properly, and secondly everybody knows Columbian maids make the best beds and Mexicans are the perfect grounds keepers! . . . . What's so hypocritical about that??? . . . . You guys amaze me, you really do!"

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).
