Okay, Mister My Pillow Guy, time to pony up and begin producing face masks!

Just what are all these MAGA-heads who own companies doing?

If they love America so much, why aren't they helping in this hour of critical need?

We really ARE living in a comic book!

I've suspected such for several years. The entire Trump-Gotham City shtick was painted a bit thick, garish, bold but juvenile. The rallies were designed for a two-dimensional world, a world of binaries, only one of them right. His press conferences were stuffed with half thoughts and vicious asides. His sidekicks (Bannon and Miller, esp.) are right out of Marvel casting. Etc., etc.

And then today's tweet has made me certain.

"I watch and listen to the Fake News, CNN, MSDNC, ABC, NBC, CBS, some of FOX (desperately & foolishly pleading to be politically correct), the @nytimes, & the @washingtonpost, and all I see is hatred of me at any cost. Don’t they understand that they are destroying themselves?"

How do we get out of here????

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).
