"Smog is just air that got tired of hiding." . . . Please come CAPTION Fox's Doug McKelway!!!



Doug ("Wanta buy a small Pacific island?&quot McKelway is saying: "That's right, Bret, that figure, that 97% of climate scientists who contend that man-made climate change is having a serious effect on the climate, . . . Well, the figure, itself, 97%, is not without significant controversy! . . . First of all it was reported by NASA, a government website (and do you always believe the government?), and claims to report on what all the major scientific societies found. . . . All of them, it says. . . . But who's saying what agencies are true scientific agencies? . . . What about the UFO society of the United States . . . ? Or the Communist Plot Fluoride Society? . . . Or your own kids' science fairs for crips sake! . . . A gang of charlatans and huskers if you ask me! . . . A lot of suckers believed in the moon landing as well. . . . Remember that?"

Now they'll have to name streets all over America after me!"

Donald ("I love people and potato salad!&quot Trump is thinking: "After I'm in, it's Goodbye Social Security!!!! . . . Freakin' old farts!. . . .

Donald ("You want specifics? I'll give you specifics! How's this: 38-24-32?&quot Trump is saying: "Am I afraid of Bernie?? . . . Are you kidding? I'd slaughter him! . . . But I changed my mind and now I won't debate him despite the money going to charity, despite giving Hillary jab in the gut, despite having an opportunity to put my great ideas out there, and despite raising my profile even higher, . . . because I decided it's beneath me. . . . See? . . . It's certainly not because I'm frightened of him!!! . . . Whatever gave you that fool idea?"

Donald ("Smog is just air that got tired of hiding&quot Trump is saying: "So I want to ask these so-called environmentalists: If you're so smart, tell me how much we're going to enjoy the environment if there are no cars to drive, no coal to mine, no oil to drill, no fuel burning plants, no petroleum refineries, no factories with smokestacks, no nothing! . . . What are they going to do? Play with their toes?"

"I'm one-thousand-and-ten-percent legal!" Please come CAPTION Trump's Spokesperson Katrina Pierson!




Katrina ("I love it when he shuns me!&quot Pierson is saying: "On the contrary, the Hispanics love Trump. . . . They absolutely ladore him!!! . . . The problem is the press. . . . They only tell one part of the story, so Hispanics can't get to know him, . . . so they don't yet realize how much they love him. . . . If it weren't for the press reporting what he says, . . . well, you get the drift."

"Hey, Mister Tax Man, . . . bite me!" . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!



Donald ("The IRS should be paying me!&quot Trump is saying: "Hey, Jimmy, give me a break, will you? . . . . I know I said presidential candidates should disclose their tax forms and four years ago encouraged Mitt to do the same, . . . And I know I said I would certainly release mine if I ran and then repeated that several times after I announced my candidacy, . . . But all that was just a suggestion. . . . You know, it was like a memo-to-self. . . . Well, one day I read it over. . . . I chuckled. . . . I thought it was cute but stupid, . . . so I tore it up."

Jesse ("What do scientists know, anyway?&quot Waters is saying: "So Bill, I asked officials just how the teaching of climate science in the Portland school system will be fair and balanced if they only teach the truth? . . . And do you know what, Bill? . . . They didn't know what to say. . . . They just stammered and looked at me funny. . . . Here, watch the clip. . . ."

Donald (" . . . or your lying eyes?&quot Trump is saying: "And folks, they want us to believe in man-made climate change! . . . Give me a break! . . . That's the greatest hoax in the history of mankind! . . . And over 97% of so-called climate scientists, people who often dedicated their lives to discovering the truth in their adolescence, have sold out simply to gain tenure and to be awarded grants! . . . Hell, it's hard to get 60% of a group of people to agree on anything, much less to get 97% to go against their core principles! . . . It's impossible to believe!!! . . . But there it is."

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).
