Can you imagine the signs outside Indiana Bakeries and Flower Shops???





We serve only traditional clients with either familial or hetro-sexual desires.

We serve all clients except the transgendered or those whose purchase possibly includes a transgendered recipient.

We serve all but those of the Popish religion.

Moslems will enter store at their own risk.

December-May romances not catered.

Killers of our Christ shall not get their cupcakes here!

Only Euro-Americans with genetic papers need enter.

No illegal immigrants shall taste our pastries

etc., etc., etc.

(And the Republicans wonder why reaching out to various groups doesn't seem to work for them.)

Governor Mike (“Carrot Top is my favorite philosopher”) Spense is saying: “Tony, I have no idea why people like you are giving me so much backlash. . . .This morning thousands of Indiana citizens have even more freedom than they had last night and no one will be able to discriminate against them for exercising that freedom. . . . I thought you liberals are supposed to be against discriminationn. . . . Ever look up ‘hypocrisy’ in the dictionary? . . . Geez.”

"The mind's a terrible thing to baste." . . . Please come CAPTION Tucker Carlson!!!



Tucker (a hot warm dump in the middle of his cranium) Carlson is saying: "Listen, just because my brother Buckley described de Blasio's spokesperson Amy Spitalnick as a 'LabiaFace,' doesn't make that a sexist comment. Back were we come from in San Diego, a 'labia' was a nickname for a peach. They just forget to put it in any books. . . . So it wasn't sexist at all. . . . He was saying she looked like a peach. . . . How is that so hard to believe?""

"My brain's stuck on jam!" . . . Please come CAPTION Rick Santorum!!



Rick ("It's your nickel&quot Santorum is saying: "It was all a simple and obvious test, just to show lame-stream media how grossly unfair they are to Republicans. When I called candidate Obama an "anit-war, government nig- . . ." they all thought I was going to say a certain word, and we all know what that word is. . . But I was just testing them . . . I was really going to call him an "anti-war, government nickelodeon" on account of the cheap tunes he kept repeating back then. . . . What's so hard to believe about that? . . . Geez! I don't know how my critics come up with this crap sometime!"

Scott ("Clear as the glass in my sister's lobotomy&quot Walker is saying: "Listen, Steve, just because I'm anti-abortion, want to close down Planned Parenthood, scoff at family leave requests in worker negotiations, and am against so-call equal-pay laws, doesn't mean I'm anti-woman! . . . Far from it! . . . I'm pro-baking and washing dishes, for instance, keeping the baby clean, and even bridge clubs. . . . I don't know where my critics come up with their ideas sometimes!"

March 21, 2015

"'An ambulating lobotomy.' What do you suppose Dad meant by that?" . . . Come CAPTION Sean Hannity!!



Sean ("Master of Quaun Dick Doo&quot Hannity if saying, "Are you kidding? I'm extremely open minded. Yesterday a caller asked if I would consider someone an American if they didn't believe in blasting Iran back into the stone age. . . . Well, I told him I'd have to think about it. . . . And I'm still thinking. . . . But that's the point, right? . . . I'm able to consider these things. . . . If you don't see that, you're a moron."

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).
