Tearing you a new one every day of the week. . . . Please come CAPTION A.G. Bill Barr!!




Bill (from Miles Standish to Dirty Harry to me) Barr is saying: "The Justice Department has decided to avoid all the problems of the recent past by not investigating any presidential campaigns. . . . That doesn't mean foreign countries should feel emboldened to try to interfere in our elections, but say if Russia wanted to give a ton of dirty money to someone and spread questionable information about his rivals, we might consider opening an inquiry. . . . But then again, who knows?"

"How big a lie you want?" . . . Please come CAPTION White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham!!!




Stephanie ("Sarah Huckleberry Who?" ) Grisham just finished saying: "I think what President Trump was saying by re-tweeting the picture of Schumer and Pelosi in head-rags and togas or whatever was that Democrats are secretly terrorizing our country in the name of political correctness, unfettered immigration, a higher minimum wage, environmental regulations, judicial activism, health care, women and minority rights, a sensible budget, the LGBTQ-whatever alphabet soup of sexual identities, Congressional oversight, voting rights acts, and climate change."


Harris Faulkner is just about to say: "He always was really, really deep."

"Jesus and I are like this." . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!



PresiDented Trump is saying: "Soon America's children will be free to pray in school again after we pass the 'Constitutional Prayer in Schools Act,' and they can get to know about this book, a great book really, much of the beginning written by The Holy Ghost and Moses, I'm told. . . . You even might call God the Original Ghost Writer [laughs], . . . but he's still just 'Old God' to me."

"You do your job, or I'll do mine." Please come CAPTION the delicate stylings of Sean Hannity!!!!




Sean Hannity is saying: "This is not a threat by any means. . . . But if you won't do your jobs as United States Senators and let the Democrats call witnesses, then you should be held accountable and giving out your phone numbers could be seen as a public service. . . . It's far from a threat. . . . And giving out pictures of your children and listing where they go to school should make you feel even more accountable. . . . Do your job, Republican senators, or I'll do mine.

"Well, if you want to know the truth of the matter." . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!




PresiDented Trump is saying: "What do you mean, we didn't have justification to take out General Soleimani? We did everything on the up-and-up. . . . We had him lured to a site near the Baghdad Airport where he thought he was going to begin peace talks through one of our intermediaries. . . . We had a done waiting for him. . . . . Who could argue with that? . . . It was perfect!"

"Dick Cheney lied like a naughty child." . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!!!




PresiDented Trump is saying: "Our intelligence services reported that General Soleimani personally constructed a number of so-called dirty bombs using Iran's stockpile of fissile materials and was planning simultaneous attacks against multiple American embassies around the world. . . . I probably saved over ten-thousand lives by taking him out, . . . yet you can't get the liberal media to even start talking about the Nobel Prize."

Today's Smart Person on Fox. . . . Please come CAPTION Brian Kilmeade!!!

January 9, 2020

"I always snort a healthy breakfast." . . . Please come CAPTURE PresiDented Trump!!!





PresiDented Trump is saying: "Of course Soleimani posed an imminent threat against United States, my instincts told me so and they are never wrong. . . . Only Democrats, Never Trumpers, and the lying liberal media would disagree."

Please come CAPTION Doug Collins (R-Ga.)




Doug Collins: "You're right, the partisan divide in Congress is terrible, Lou, but that's because Democrats love terrorists and hate America. . . . How can you work across the aisle with Satan? . . . Unless they stop their hateful rhetoric and name-calling how can we be expected to work with them?"

"I'll teach that little *#@*!" . . . Please come CAPTION John Bolton!!!




John Bolton is thinking: "I told that little sh*t what I'd do if he didn't go all the way. . . . We should be smoking cigars in Tehran tonight instead of chewing the drapes and waiting for tee-times and press ops in D.C. . . . When I start testifying, he'll get to learn what 'no mercy' actually means."*


*Implying he made a deal with the orange otiosity to keep quiet on the "drug deal" if Numbnuts would go hard on Iran.

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).
