Lapdogs of Loyalty

April 23, 2010 Buck Banks

Like ignorant medieval oafs,
To their party Fla. Repugs are betrothed.
Even if they wished,
They couldn’t back Crist,
‘Cause they took a loyalty oath.

Big Decisions

April 22, 2010 Buck Banks

Charlie Crist is deciding these days
Whether he leaves his party or stays.
But Charlie has proven
In politics and lovin’
That he’s prepared to swing both ways.

The Passion of Crist

April 21, 2010April 21, 2010 Buck Banks

To Washington he craves to be sent,
Even though that means paying his rent.
Charlie Crist merely seeks
To whip Rubio and Meek,
By running as a scared independent.

Made for TV

April 15, 2010April 20, 2010 Buck Banks

They look on us as a nation of ingrates,
As a bunch of bumpkins and jackanapes.
But just wait till the Brits
Get a look at
their own twits
During the prime minister debates.

The Audacity to Breach Protocol

April 12, 2010 Buck Banks

POTUS:

OK, I ditched them, I confess.
I didn’t think it’d make such a mess.
Hey, I’m watching my daughter
Competing at soccer,
And for that, I don’t need the press.

One for the Gipper

April 2, 2010April 2, 2010 Buck Banks

The bumper sticker said, “Avenge Reagan”
On a Tea Partier’s station wagon.
With this swing to the right
It looks like we might
End up on the Reagan bandwagon — again.

Pearly-Pink Toenails

March 29, 2010March 29, 2010 Buck Banks

To some, it’s better than humping,
Even candidates who are stumping.
I just wish that Trish
Would indulge my fetish
And show me some hot pedal pumping.

Obama Derangement Syndrome

March 25, 2010March 26, 2010 Buck Banks

Fox-watchers and tea-baggers are strange.
It’s like their DNA has been changed.
They’re taking their cues
From Beck at Fox News,
But it’s Obama who’s made them deranged.

Man of Few Words

March 23, 2010 Buck Banks

Joe Biden’s good at keeping it real,
And letting us know how he feels.
So with characteristic aplomb,
He tossed out an F-bomb,
But he’s right — It
is a big fucking deal!

Troubled Tour Guide

March 18, 2010March 19, 2010 Buck Banks

In Washington, D.C., one night,
Eric Massa said he’d show us the sights.
Of course, we were hoping
For some nonsexual groping
And tickets to the tickle fights.

Pledge of DeSantis
Buck Banks | Jul. 29, 2022

I pledge allegiance to DeSantis and the Benighted Stratocracy of Amerika, and to the Repression for which it stands, one nation un-woke, indoctrinated, with suppression and injustice for most.

Verbatim

    “Even if we cut some slack for Esper and all the others who served as honorably and conscientiously as they could until they were faced with either the dead end of resignation or being fired, the fact is that these men and women remained silent for far too long once they were out of government service. They held back important things that the American people and their elected representatives needed to know. They kept them as their own personal secrets, either out of some misplaced sense of bureaucratic propriety, or because they had a book deal and didn’t want to steal their own thunder from release day.”

    — Tom Nichols

    “As Thomas settles into his fourth decade on the Supreme Court, his influence, even his control, is ascendant. Thomas began his career as a justice as a near outcast – an ideological fringe figure and a scarred veteran of a brutal confirmation fight. Today, he is a revered figure in the conservative movement, and he is watching ideas he championed from the margins turn into the law of the land.”

    — Jeffrey Toobin

    “What a surprise… right on schedule… here comes the ‘midterms variant.’”

    — Fox News host Maria Bartiromo suggested that Democrats are trying to create a new Covid-19 variant to help them win the midterm elections.

    “Bill O’Reilly’s really talented. He’s more talented than I am… But I think there’s a deep phoniness at the center of his shtick… built on perception that he is the character he plays… The moment that it’s revealed not to be true it’s over.”

    — Tucker Carlson, on C-SPAN on September 13, 2003.

    “I do not think Putin is a character like Hitler. He comes out of Dostoyevsky.”

    75%

    The percentage of roughly 450 total deadly political attacks in the United Sates committed by right-wing extremists in the past decade as counted by the Anti-Defamation League, according to the New York Times. The ADL found that 20 percent were committed by Islamic extremists and 4 percent by liberals.

    “The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol issued subpoenas on Thursday to five Republican members of Congress, including Representative Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader, who refused to meet with the panel voluntarily,” the New York Times reports. “The committee’s leaders had previously been reluctant to issue subpoenas to their fellow lawmakers. That is an extraordinarily rare step for most congressional committees to take, though the House Ethics Committee, which is responsible for investigating allegations of misconduct by members, is known to do so.”

    $15 million

    “In what may prove to be Florida’s last stand as a battleground state, Democrats are launching a $15 million voter organizing effort ahead of this year’s elections,” Politico reports. “Democratic candidates up and down the ballot — even those running in contested primaries — have agreed to pour in money that will be used to hire at least 200 organizers and open as many as 80 offices as part of a coordinated effort to pump up turnout across the state.”

    39 Point Drop

    A Yahoo News/YouGov poll found that confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court has dropped nearly 40 points among registered voters since 2020, when former Pres. Trump began packing the court with right-wing extremists. Overall confidence in the Court is down from 70 percent in September 2020 to 51 percent today. Among those who expressed no confidence in the court, the number has risen 19 points, from 7 percent in 2020 to 26 percent today.

    Charles Gaba: “For the full year 2021, official Covid deaths ran more than three times higher in the reddest tenth of the U.S. than the bluest. This is something I’ve been tracking and writing about for nearly a year now, so while it’s pretty dramatic, it’s nothing new.” “What is new is the ‘other’ excess deaths in 2021: They ran a jaw-dropping twenty-one times higher in the reddest decile than the bluest… nearly 50 per 100K residents vs. only ~2.3 per 100K.”
