"I'm so smart it hurts sometimes!" . . . Please come CAPTION Bill O'Reilly!!




Bill ("I keep dreaming about enraged falafels and snarling tahini!&quot "There's a perfectly good reason I think Justices Ginsberg and Kagan should recuse themselves on the upcoming marriage equality case, but back in 2006 said Justice Scalia should not recuse himself on the Guantanamo case, and it's preeminently legal and impeccably logical: namely, . . . I'm right!!!""

"I'm even trying to LOOK like a fetus!" . . . . Please come CAPTION Rick Scott!!!!



Rick (Ring Around the Gene Pool) Scott is saying: "It doesn't matter that it could save lives and improve the health of millions of Floridians while it would save money for the state and allow doctors and hospitals to be compensated for their care and treatment of the poor, Florida won't expand Medicare for the best reason of them all: . . . IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH OBAMACARE!!!! . . . Surely you see how that offsets all the rest!"

"We need gun stores with a drive-through window.". . . Please come CAPTION David Horowitz!!!



David ("My favorite books come with ammo!&quot Horowitz is saying: "And I have unnamed sources who tell me that Obama has secretly arranged for a nuclear weapon to be smuggled over our southern border and wants to personally detonate it at a central urban site filled with chemical and biological weapons as well. . . . . He's planning to have those smuggled in simultaneously. . . . I know it sounds crazy,but. . . . Geez! Sometimes you just can't believe these things!!!"

"Like om-alala pist-mini-awha piknotty wer-woo!" . . . Please come CAPTION Michele Bachmann!!!



Michele ("In for a penny, throw away the store!&quot Bachmann is saying: "Listen, Bret, The Rapture is a good thing, . . . a great thing! . . . The Greatest!!! . . . but Obama is a bad man, . . . an evil man!. . . . So how can an evil man cause a great thing? . . . You gotta think logically. . . . An evil man, in a terrible time (like the end times!), having detestable motives, doing wretched deeds, with the very worst of mankind . . . Well, that's like a double-triple negative or something . . . Therefore The Rapture! . . . It's obvious."

Jump-start a Sunday! . . . Please come CAPTION Rand Paul!!!



Rand ("My daddy can run away faster than your daddy!&quot Paul is saying: "They say I have no issues, that all I talk about is bashing Hillary all the time. . . . That's simply not true! . . . In fact I have at least as many issues as Hillary . . . . 'cause whatever she's for, I'm against, and vice versa. . . . For the simple reason that she's a witch sworn to uphold the rule of Satan. . . . and she's has taken an oath to bring this country down. . . . No issues? Ha! . . . My critics couldn't be more wrong!"

The lobotomy worked! . . . Please come CAPTION Bernie Goldberg on O'Reilly!!!



Bernie ("I might not be your worst nightmare, but I rank!&quot Goldberg is saying: "They call me twisted, but the liberals redefine that very term. . . . Hillary won't receive as much press enthusiasm as Obama did in '08, because race, in their minds, trumps gender, . . . but if she all of a sudden announced she was transgendered (and that's what I'm predicting) then someone would have to a black, homicidal child molester to attract more support, but if you were full-on pathological like a felonious, migrant, toe-sucking, hermaphroditic terrorist . . . , well, . . . you get the picture, Bill. . . . And they call me twisted!!!"

"You might catch something." . . . .Please come CAPTION Rick Santorum!!!!




Rick ("Can you even begin to imagine what they must do?&quot Santorum is saying: "I'm not a gay bigot! . . . I only said I wouldn't attend a gay wedding. . . . That's all. . . They are probably decent human beings but, I mean, . . . .I wouldn't know what was expected of me. . . . Am I supposed to strip-off and join in? . . . Am I supposed to service only the groom? . . . And which one would that be? . . . No, I'm not a gay bigot, . . . It's just too confusing."

"King would have loved religious freedom laws!" . . . Please come CAPION Louie Gohmert!!



Louie ("The kids used to call me 'Loogie.' . . . What could that have meant?&quot Gohmert just finished saying: "Liberals and activists don't care about Martin Luther King Jr. . . . In fact, its the conservatives who are preserving his legacy. . . . What would King have done without racism? . . . Huh?. . . By legalizing bigotry, challenging African-Americans' right to vote, and supporting robust police methods in urban communities, conservatives continually provide the context for appreciating that great man!"

T.G.T.G.T.G.I.F. . . . . Please come CAPTION Scott Walker!!!



Scott ("My dreams are filled with robots going mad. . . . What do you suppose that means?&quot Walker is saying, "Paul, to be fair, I really, really, really know that my support has taken a nosedive, to say the least, . . . . But what you don't know is the size of the geriatric vote, specifically the dementia and Alzheimer cases. . . . Somebody's going to be surprised . . . and some day soon!"

A stain on the map of human intelligence! . . . Please come CAPTION Ann Coulter!!



Ann ("The only cats I like are dead&quot Coulter is saying: "Well, Sean, a good question on a literacy text given in order to vote would be something like: Police officers are here to protect and serve the citizens, right? or Hard work and perseverance will be financially rewarded in a Capitalist country like the United States. True or False? . . . . It's not hard at all to design easy tests of people's knowledge which is fair and balanced for all. . . . See?"

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).
