"Even the floor's above my head. That's what Dad used to say." Come CAPTION Fox's Brian Kilmeade!!



Brian (Taking a bite out of cultural intelligence for over three decades) Kilmeade is saying: "You're right, Congressman DeSantis, there never should have been an intervention in the first place. . . . Short of that, stop it now! . . . I applaud you, I really do. But I don't think your bill is going to pass. . . . How about a bill that makes it illegal for any federal official to say the words 'Trump' and 'Russia' in the same paragraph?"

Donald (Rancid Flood of Words)Trump is saying: "Wow, what a turnout! . . . You should all be very, very proud of yourselves. . . . I mean there's a lot of other places you could have spent your Tuesday afternoon, but you chose to spend it with me, with us, all of us together. . . . . And that's not just because businesses and schools are closed. . . . It's because you believe in our movement which just keeps growing and growing. . . . Wow!. . . Like on the cap 'U' 'S' 'A' and '45' on both sides. . . . It's great! . . . . So, thanks for coming out, and . . . oh yeah, too bad about the hurricane."

Get some photos. . . . And San Antonio has some of the best restaurant in the state. It would take months to try them all, but everybody here feels you should be allowed to try. . . . So, take your time. . . . And after Harvey's gone you can take in some Gulf fishing. . . . They say it's great after a storm like this. . . . Don't worry about a thing. . . . We've got it covered here."

Donald Trump is thinking: "I'm only supposed to be tweeting about Harvey but that's boring and Kelly is in the can so . . . 'Mueller needs to investigate Crooked Hillary and the bags of cash she sent to Iran to distract from Obama's birth countrydebate.' . . . There. . . . When Mueller comes out and sees that he can't be mad. . . . It's 'measured and to-the-point,' just like he says he wants."

But I'm here to tell you there is only ONE TRUMP: ME!!!! . . . And I have no patience with that other Trump, the scripted one, who seems to think he can take over. . . . But he can't. . . . I won't let him see my dreams at night so he'll never be able to find the controls. . . . Tough luck, loser!"

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).
