About Me
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).

Sonambulism Yesterday, Today, and Forever After! Please come CAPTION Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL)!
Rep. Matt ("My doctor said a lobotomy would be redundant" ) Gaetz is saying: "Jon, it's worse than a coup that's brewing inside the highest reaches of our government or assassination plots being planned by our law enforcement agencies to take Trump out. . . . It's worse than the armed rebellion that's sure to come if we can't stop it in its tracks. . . . It's even worse even Armageddon and the extinction of the human race. . . . It's deep-state, secret liberals who insist on going by the letter of the law!" ******************************************** Above CAPTION based on the following story/clip at Media Matters: https://www.mediamatters.org/blog/2017/12/20/following-foxs-lead-gop-congressman-suggests-fbi-hatched-scheme-deprive-donald-trump-presidency/218915 |

With all the subtly of a rabid ferret. . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump Jr.!!!
Donald ("God wouldn't have invented elephant guns if he didn't want us to shoot them" ) Trump Jr. is saying: "Listen, there's nothing I love more than the Constitution, absolutely nothing! But sometimes to save it, you have to be able to look beyond it. . . . And to act! . . . So when you find a criminal cabal saturating the Deep State, and you can't get at these traitors any other way, well . . . do we have to mind every little thing the courts might say or every tiny nuance in the letter of the law? . . . Don't get me wrong, I love the Constitution, I really do." ***************************************************** Above CAPTION based on this bozo's speech to young conservative activists in Florida on Dec. 19, 2017, as covered by CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/19/politics/donald-trump-jr-russia/index.html |

And maybe the next time we can figure out how to be alone together, you can use you inside voice, okay?" |

Donald ("There's a blister on my twitter finger" ) Trump is thinking: "Let's see. . . .

Judge Jeanine ("I'll crush your n*ts in a vice for starters, spud!" ) Pirro is saying: "And it's now clear that Mueller and Comey were running a criminal cabal out of the Justice Department, making us look like some third world dictatorship. . . . So I say, round them all up, frog-march them out of F.B.I. Headquarters in shackles and cuffs, broad daylight, and put them on public trial. Make a big deal out of it to show we won't stand for illegality. . . . and to show the rest of the world that we're not like some banana republic or Latin America thugocracy!" ************************************************ Above CAPTION based on this clip linked at Crooks & Liars: https://crooksandliars.com/2017/12/foxs-pirro-continues-working-refs-trump |

Ben ("They're just pretending to be offended" ) Ferguson is saying: "I think John Lewis, who I have the greatest respect for by the way, missed a golden opportunity by not coming to the opening of The Civil Rights Museum in Mississippi just because Trump would be there. . . . He could have shared experiences with the President. . . . The Congressman could have told the President about Selma, and the President could have told the Congressman what the Civil Rights marches looked like from a dorm room in a North Eastern boarding school." ************************************************ Above CAPTION based on the following Fox clip linked at Media Matters: https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2017/12/08/cnn-pro-trump-contributor-criticizes-civil-rights-icon-john-lewis-not-educating-trump-about-civil/218788 |
