"Sometimes Justice, being blind, just needs a little hand." . . . . Please come CAPTION Bill Barr!!!




Bill Barr is saying "Are you kidding? I'm terribly concerned about justice. I think about it all the time and I constantly worry about it. . . . . Imagine what a disaster it would be justice began to be practiced! People start probably start demanding it. It could get to be like a pandemic. . . . But don't worry, we at DOJ are here to wipe it out, and believe me, we know what we're doing!"

Profiles in Thuggery. Please come CAPTION Matt Schlapp, Chair, American Conservative Union!!!




Matt Schlapp is saying: "We simply told Mitt Romney that he wasn't invited to CPAC this year. . . . As you know, CPAC draws the greatest, most influential and respected Republicans in the land, real statesmen and level-headed American conservatives, law abiding citizens every one. . . . But, frankly, I'd be worried for his safety."






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

Above CAPTION is more informational than satire, since he did, in essence, say this:

"My Bible's pages stick together. What's with that?" . . . Please come CAPTION Mike Pence!!!




Mike Pence is saying: "I've got a strong feeling that Nancy Pelosi will be the last Speaker of the House."





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

WARNING: This is not a CAPTION. This spud said actually said this on Fox and Friends:

I think he meant to say the "last Democratic Speaker of the House," but that's not what he said. Freudian slip?

Profiles in Perfidy, III. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!



PresiDented Trump is saying: "Are you kidding. There's world of difference between Lt. Col. Vindman and former-Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher. . . . For one, Vindman likes to make up terrible, viscous lies and tell them under oath in front of the nation. . . . He's a traitor to America and her principles of truth and justice. . . . If you ask me, he's worse than an assassin. . . . Whereas Eddie Gallagher was a heroic born-in-America soldier fighting against terrorism, and he was able to extract valuable information from a suspect which probably saved dozens of lives. . . . He deserves the Metal of Freedom! . . . Whereas "

There's a mad man in the White House! . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!





PresiDented Trump is saying: "Some people would be mad, and they would have the right, but I'm not a vindictive man. . . . It's just not in me. Revenge. . . . No, I say live and let's all thrive. . . . I'm that kind of guy. . . . Believe me."

Profiles in Perfidy, II. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!




PresiDented Trump is saying: "Listen, I hate to contradict Jesus because he's, like, one of my main people and everything, but this 'Love your enemies' stuff is kind of easy to say if you didn't have to deal with the evil, corrupt, horrible people I had to contend with."





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

Above CAPTION based on this bozo's reaction to the Sermon on the Mount at The National Prayer Breakfast yesterday, 2.6.20, when he said "Arthur, I don't know if I agree with you," to Arthur Brooks who quoted Jesus in his introduction of Trump.

Profiles in Perfidy. . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!




Donald (Sphincter-Man) Trump is saying: "And then that brainless moron-manikin, Mitt Romney, all of a sudden gets religion and uses it falsely to go against me, America, and even God himself. . . . He claims that faith made him vote the way he did, but he clearly doesn't have a relationship with God like all of the other Republican senators or he would have voted like them. . . . But the truth is that Mitt Romney doesn't know God from Alfred E. Newman!"

"Can you imagine being me???" . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!




PresiDented Trump is saying: "What do I think about when I think about Mike Bloomberg? . . . I think of little. . . . I mean there's nothing wrong with being small, but with being tiny? . . . I mean, do they let him drive? Who makes his clothes? Does he get a child's menu? Does he shave? Is there a special toilet seat involved? . . . At any rate, I look forward to debating him on the basis of quality of his ideas."

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).
