Out to lunch. . . . Please come CAPTION Kevin McCarthy!!!




Kevin ("You're only as good as your turd" ) McCarthy is thinking: "So for saying 'Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?' I had to to take two days off, fly down here to Mar-a-Logo, pick up a $756 dollar lunch tab, scrub down four servant rest-rooms, and fight off two horny sumo wrestlers buck naked in the showers while he watched. . . . Thank God I got off easy!"

"The horror! . . . The horror!" . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Howard Klurtz!!!



Howard ("Fox won't let me wear my straight-jacket on air" ) Kurtz is saying:"And if you want to see how radically unfair the media can be just look at The Washington Post. . . . By this time four years ago, they had already a fact checker keeping track of President Trump's so called 'misleading claims,' but apparently Joe Biden gets a pass. . . . They haven't even called him a liar once yet. . . . . Whereas disparaging Trump for supposed inaccuracies became a minor industry. . . . By this time in his presidency the Post claimed to have found over 100 such 'lies' in his speeches and both official and off-hand remarks, but by all accounts they haven't even started looking for Biden's lies and prevarications. . . . How's that for bias?"

Profiles in Perfidy, XLIV. . . . Please come CAPTION ex-PresiDented Trump!!!



ex-PresiDented Trump is texting: "Great. Getting back to normal. Aides have set up banquet. Guess I'm early. At least I'm back on Twitter. They're letting me type anything in, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be going through. And then, I wonder why no one else is showing up. And why only one place setting. Odd."

"I keep forgetting to take my human pill." . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Tucker Carlson!!!





Tucker (Lobotomized at Birth) Carlson is saying: "And everything that comes out of Little-Miss-Alphabet-Soup's mouth is demonstrably false, but what's worse: it's divisive and venomous. It's the rhetoric of fire and destruction, the syntax of a bullwhip, the grammar of the gutter. She seeks to tear us apart, not unite us. . . . Hatred is like an organ for her, and it keeps spewing out bile and toxic waste. . . . What is wrong with these people, anyway? Don't they want harmony and understanding? . . . I know I do!"

Profiles in Perfidy, LII. . . . Please come CAPTION ex-PresiDented Trump!!!



ex-PresiDented Trump just finished saying: "Well, Marco, I just called to tell you one thing that might help you in your decision at the up-coming impeachment trial hoax, and I'll tell all the other Republican senators the same thing: I'm still a Republican and am as faithfully Republican as ever. . . . All that talk about starting a new party was just fake news and stuff. . . . I'm a Republican through and through. . . . And yeah, Marco, I wanted to call you special because you've got a good ear and great political instincts. . . . Which do you think sounds better: 'The Patriot Party' or 'The MAGA Party'? . . . I mean, hypothetically, if someone were to start a third party, which would have a better draw? . . . I'm just curious."

"I was going to get a Harley once myself." . . . Please come CAPTION ex-PresiDented Trump!!!



ex-Presidented Trump is saying: "And now, get this, all the big high-rolling international banks have cut me off. . . . Little do they know what's about to happen. . . . Not one of my followers will be financing multi-million dollar construction projects in foreign countries through them. . . . None. . . . Nada. . . . What were they thinking?"

Talk about inheriting the wind! . . . Please come CAPTION ex-PresiDented Trump!!!




ex-PresiDented Donald J. Trump is saying: "Remember this, son, you can't trust anyone who's not family. . . . You can only count on those closest to you. . . . They are the only ones who really know how to listen to you. . . . They're the only ones who truly care."

Barron Trump is thinking: "Yeah, yeah, whatever."

"Just what is 'unity' without the dregs?" . . . Please come CAPTION Tucker Carlson



Tucker (Millionaire)Carlson is saying: "Biden keeps talking about 'unifying the nation.' . . . But watch out if you're a political extremest, domestic terrorist, or white supremacist! . . . It appears he doesn't care about unifying with the kind of people who question the system in a robust manner."

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).
