A Bad Egg

August 21, 2010August 20, 2010 Buck Banks

Poor Jon’s been one sick feller,
But we’re glad that he’s feeling weller.
No, it wasn’t from kegs —
It came from the eggs
That were tainted with salmonella.

A Modern Inquisition

August 20, 2010 Buck Banks

Poor Prez Obama, he can’t catch a break.
They say he’s Muslim, that his faith is fake.
But one religious tradition
Would prove he’s a Christian —
Let’s scourge him, then burn him at the stake!

Word-Up, Dr. L.

August 18, 2010 Buck Banks

Though you’re white as the driven snow,
You played the race card on your talk show.
Dr. Laura, ain’t you heard,
When it comes to the N-word,
The only one white folks can use is “Negro.”

Slide On, Steve

August 12, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

We can sympathize with Stephen Slater.
Air travel will get to you, sooner or later.
It takes chutzpah and aplomb
To shout out the F-bomb
And still come off as a hero, not a hater.

The Clintonian Argot

August 10, 2010August 10, 2010 Buck Banks

When Chelsea asked for parental permission
To marry Marc on a happy occasion,
Hillary said,” Now, darling Chelsea,
“Did you have sex with Mezvinsky?”
Chelsea replied, “Not by Daddy’s definition!”

GOP Leadership Vacuum

July 31, 2010July 30, 2010 Buck Banks

With the midterms looming, the GOP is getting cute,
They’re playing to the Tea Party to bring in the loot.
But the Party of No
Has nowhere to go,
If the best they can offer is a Newt.

On Republican ‘Leadership’

July 29, 2010 Buck Banks

Maybe there is a lesson we can learn from the BP oil spill.
Something that will energize the electorate’s political will.
When it comes to Republicans,
Maybe there’s something we can
Take away from the concept of “top kill.”

A Selfish Consistency

July 28, 2010July 28, 2010 Buck Banks

“Sometimes you step off the pavement and get hit by a bus.”
So said Tony Hayward, BP’s unlovable cuss.
But indeed he was the bus driver,
And it’s we “small people” who suffer.
Just for once, Tony, could you think about us?

Afghanistan Unplugged

July 26, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Life’s made up of valleys and peaks,
When it’s the TRUTH for which one seeks.
But when it comes to the war
Search blindly no more —
Just navigate over to Wikileaks.

The Racist Editor

July 22, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

We knew it right from the start,
He was born with mean genes and no heart.
He edits creatively
Dependably deceptively,
And there’s a special spot in hell for Breitbart.

Dishonest to a Fault
Buck Banks | Jul. 22, 2026

From Trump’s “stolen election” lies, we can’t get no relief,
He carps on about stolen votes, but he never names the thief.
Somebody needs to tell this guy
Americans aren’t buying his lies,
And that he’s turned us into the United States of Disbelief.

    $4,600

    President Donald Trump is asking for $1,500,000 million for the military for next year. That’s close to $600 billion (adjusted for inflation) more than we were spending on the military in fiscal year 2025, before Trump took office, Alternet reports. This increase is huge by any measure. It comes to around $4,600 per household. It is around 8% of the total budget.

    61% to 35%

    Wall Street Journal: “Around 40% of voters in the 2024 election said the economy was their top issue, far outstripping any other matter. And those voters favored Donald Trump by 60% to 38%. Many say they were moved by his pledges to tame inflation, rebuild U.S. infrastructure, cut red tape and trim government waste. … About a year and a half later, more voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy than approve, 61% to 35%, an average of polls by the Cook Political Report found this month.”
