"Thank you, Yahweh!" . . . Please come CAPTION Marco Rubio!!!



Marc ("The thinking man's dunce&quot Rubio is saying:" . . . and I say to them, 'I'm very open minded, and of all people I certainly understand the personal and social costs, but Ziki or no Ziki, I would not allow for an abortion. . . . I don't care if the fetus looks like a tomato, . . . or like a roasted chicken, . . . and will result in a miserable life of barely conscious despair, and for the family, certain penury, . . . there's still no reason to even consider an abortion!. . . . But like I said, I'm very open minded, . . . you wouldn't believe.'"

"Robots are people, too." . . . Please come CAPTION Donald the Trump!!!




Donald ("I dreamt I had the Merde-us touch, and I never woke up&quot Trump is in the long, tedious process of reading how he feels about Ryan, et al.: ". . . and - I - say - this - (battery low) from - my - inmost - heart. - - - I - give - Paul - Ryan - my - strong - and - heartfelt - endorsement, - knowing - that - together - we'll - advance - our - sacred - party's - mission - and - coalesce - as - one - to - save - our - beloved - nation - until - (battery low) the - end - of - all - time. . . And - from - all - I- call - holy - . . ."

"Conscience is the spine of a fool." . . . Please come CAPTION Megyn Kelly!!!!!



Megyn ("I tried to find my heart in San Francisco. . . . No luck&quot Kelly is saying: "As you know, Howard, I'm no apologist for Donald Trump, but for the life of me I can't see why the fact (if indeed it is a fact) that Melania was an illegal immigrant when she first came here, and subsequently violated her legal status by working here would make any difference to the electorate. . . . Likewise, just because Mr. Trump's subcontractors are notorious for hiring illegal immigrants, then stiffing them on pay and benefits, should not matter to anyone either. . . . That was as a private citizen, a highly successful businessman. . . . And the Melania business was over twenty years ago. . . . Like I said, Howard, I'm no apologist for Trump or his nearly heroic enterprise, but . . ."

"A promise, not a threat." . . . Please come CAPTION Trump's Comrade Roger Stone!!!



Roger ("The only honest man&quot Stone is saying: "Let me set the record straight, Milo. . . . When I said that if Trump loses a rigged election there will be a bloodbath, I wasn't warning of violence, certainly not violence from Mr. Trump or his campaign. . . . He would never condone such behavior, but if some of his supporters get righteously incensed and start burning down buildings of known left-wingers and maybe even popping off a few of the conspirators, as well as anyone who might attempt conspiracies against him in the future. . . . I mean, what's Mr. Trump supposed to do, disavowal them? . . . That wouldn't be loyal."

"Who needs drugs when you're me?" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!!




Donald ("It's your rent or the streets&quot Trump is saying: "I love the Constitution over my own existence. . . . but some very good people are telling me, . . . I mean, they're experts really, the very best, . . . they're saying Hillary will steal the election. . . . I mean I should win in a landslide. . . . So if I lose, everybody will know. . . . Like I say, I love the Constition over life, but if she cheats and wins, which will be the only way, . . . well, we'll just see who the generals will take orders from!"

"I had all the brains in my family." . . .Please come CAPTION Trump confidante Roger Stone!!!!



Roger ("I looked a man in the eyes once. . . . Won't happen again.&quot Stone is saying: "I mean no disrespect to Muslims, but my research is finding out, Alex, that Captain Khan, the so-called hero killed in Iraq and mourned at the Democratic Convention, was actually a terrorist in training. . . . The only reason he became a soldier was to gain weapons training so he could either come back to America and launch a terrorist attack with a death toll like we haven't yet seen. . . . And, . . . wait for it, . . . his father Khizr Khan, the bombastic speaker at the DNC, is actually Hillary's secret Muslim Brotherhood agent who was planning the entire thing in order to speed up the world caliphate. . . . All signs are pointing in direction, trust me."

"I'll build a needle so big I can fit through the eye." . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!



Donald (Born with a silver b*tt-plug up his . . .) Trump is saying: "George, George, settle down. . . Take a breath and think for a minute. . . . Just because my campaign only insisted upon a single change to the Republican Platform, weakening our support for Ukrainian defense against Russian aggression. (Which I had no knowledge of, believe me.) . . . And just because I admire Putin for all his strong qualities, despite what the liberal press would have me believe about him. . . . And just because I've threatened to pull out of NATO because the member countries refuse to pay their fair share to defend them (Imagine!)) against what is to all appearances an imaginary threat. . . . Well, just where do you see me 'soft on Russia,' as you so ineloquently put 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).
