Oscar Ennui

March 8, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

While watching the academy awards,
The elegantly coiffed beaux and broads,
I wasn’t excited,
Or thrilled or delighted.
I was just so incredibly — bored.

Oh, the Inevitability!

March 5, 2010 Buck Banks

The 49th state soon we’ll see
Featured on a reality TV.
The ratings won’t fail ’em
‘Cause they’ve got a Palin —
Que Sarah, Sarah, what will be will be.

Charles, the Ethically Challenged

March 4, 2010 Buck Banks

Now the ethics committee’s left Rangel
At the end of his rope there to dangle.
It gets really complicated
When your conscience gets sublimated,
And your ethics get all in a tangle.

Some Fun at the Summit

February 25, 2010 Buck Banks

Though for Republicans “No!” is the norm,
And backing Barack is bad form,
Let’s hold a summit
And thoroughly gum it,
And get us some health care reform.

Who the Hell Is That?

February 23, 2010February 23, 2010 Buck Banks

He’s not nearly as cool as Coolio,
And not as Hispanic as Julio.
But when tasked at the CPACs
George Bush had to ask,
“Who the hell is Marco Rubio?”

The Question Tiger Woods Won’t Answer

February 19, 2010February 22, 2010 Buck Banks

It’s not a question of could he.
It’s not a question of should he.
For inquiring minds,
There’s one thing to find:
Just how much wood could Tiger Woods chop if Tiger Woods got a woody?

Nobody Saw It Coming

February 16, 2010February 18, 2010 Buck Banks

He’s a soft-spoken Midwestern guy,
Who gave Senatoring a try.
But this Indiana’s son
Just found it too partisan,
So he quit, that’s it, bye-bye, Bayh!

Crib Notes of History

February 11, 2010February 12, 2010 Buck Banks

Some presidents are really quite grand,
We had one who drew a line in the sand.
We don’t want a president
Who’s demur or too hesitant,
But do we want one who writes on her hand?

Keynotin’ Palin

February 6, 2010February 6, 2010 Buck Banks

She wants to sound like she matters,
Amid the political chatter.
So that’s why she’s talkin’
And fancy pageant walkin’ —
‘Cause Sarah’s the Tea Party’s Mad Hatter.

Wannabe Indoctrinator-In-Chief
Buck Banks | Mar. 23, 2023

Ron DeSantis got his ivy league education,
And now he wants to lead our nation.
The “Ohioan” is yearning
To take control of learning
And replace cognition with wing-nut indoctrination.

Verbatim

    “It does make the conversation of the primary all about Trump, which is a good dynamic he had going for him in 2016, everyone being asked to react to Trump. We’re right now fighting a primary so all that matters is the party, and we can deal with the general after….”

    — A GOP operative, quoted by the Washington Post, on the impact of Donald Trump being indicted.

    “I don’t really know what it means, but I kinda like it, it’s long, it’s got a lot of vowels. We’ll go with that, that’s fine. I mean you can call me whatever you want, just as long as you also call me a winner because that’s what we’ve been able to do in Florida, is put a lot of points on the board and really take this State to the next level.”

    — Gov. Ron DeSantis, when asked about Donald Trump’s “Ron DeSantimonius” nickname for him.

    Comment » 

    “I’m emancipated now.” — Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), quoted by the Los Angeles Times, on her life as a backbencher.

    Comment » 

    “For all his unusual strengths, Trump is defined these days more by his weaknesses — personal and political deficiencies that have grown with time and now figure to undermine any attempt to exploit the criminal case against him. … His base of support is too small, his political imagination too depleted and his instinct for self-absorption too overwhelming for him to marshal a broad, lasting backlash. His determination to look inward and backward has been a problem for his campaign even without the indictment. It will be a bigger one if and when he’s indicted.”

    — Alexander Burns

    “I don’t know what he’s trying to do or what the goal is. Obviously, he doesn’t deal with foreign policy every day as Governor. So I’m not sure. I can’t speak to that. I can’t compare that to something else he did or said over the last few years because he doesn’t deal with it every day.”

    — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, distancing himself from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ apparent flip-flop on the war in Ukraine, on the Hugh Hewitt radio show.

    Wall Street Journal: “A review of the websites of more than 3,500 companies, organizations and government entities by the Toronto-based company Feroot Security found that so-called tracking pixels from the TikTok parent company were present in 30 U.S. state-government websites across 27 states, including some where the app has been banned from state networks and devices.”

    $3,300

    “Donald Trump asked his followers to sign a petition denouncing his potential arrest in New York,” Insider reports. “But signing this petition leads people straight to a page where they’re asked to give $3,300 or other suggested amounts of cash to his 2024 campaign.”

    New York Times: “The report, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a body of experts convened by the United Nations says that global average temperatures are estimated to rise 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels sometime around ‘the first half of the 2030s,’ as humans continue to burn coal, oil and natural gas.”
