Untying the Knots

August 24, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Jane Spahr is a good Presbyterian
Who’s accused of being a contrarian.
The church laid the charges
For eleven gay marriages,
After she was sanctioned for marryin’ lesbians.

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.

Seal the Deal — In Rubles
Buck Banks | Sep. 15, 2026

Don Jr. and Bettina are finding out marriage ain’t a walk in the park,
Not even when your daddy is a self-proclaimed genius and wannabe monarch.
It began with a small private wedding ceremony,
But the after-parties were where it really got tony,
With fireworks and a private Bahamian island, paid for by a Russian oligarch.

Verbatim

    “The cesspit of corruption that is Donald Trump’s presidency is finally getting the attention it deserves. It’s about time. And if a massive blue wave sweeps Washington on November 3rd as polls now suggest, Democrats should put corruption front and center of their agenda in Congress. … The level of corruption that Trump has engaged in and enabled in others is completely unprecedented – self-dealing that, as Trump would say, is like nothing anybody has ever seen before.”

    — Paul Krugman

    “We’re not talking about socialists, these are communists, Marxists and anarchists. You got to be kidding. They want us to call them democratic socialists, there’s nothing democratic about these people.”

    — Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), quoted by Fox News.

    “We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that: no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors. Just tough, ready, committed troops. The ideological clowns are out. The patriotic cowboys are in, with testosterone testing on top.”

    — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, quoted by the New York Post.

Numerati

    29,000

    Wall Street Journal: “The U.S. added 29,000 jobs in September, far short of expectations, in a sign that the labor market remains steady but may not be able to deliver consistent and sizable employment gains like it did in the past.”

    13%

    G. Elliot Morris: “Voters aren’t confused about the motive, either. 62% say Trump made the promise mainly to win votes in November, and only 13% think he genuinely intends to send the money. … Moreover, 71% of adults say it is inappropriate for a president to promise government payments that depend on his party winning an election, including 53% of Republicans.”

    “Donald Trump made over a thousand stock sales and purchases worth between $79m and $270m in July,” The Guardian reports. “His two largest sales were of Amazon and Microsoft stock, selling between $5m and $25m each on 20 July. That same day, he also sold up to $5m worth of Oracle and Costco stock, $500,000 to $1m in Nvidia, and bought up to $5m worth of shares in Intuit and Salesforce, among dozens of other transactions.”

    10%

    “The unprecedented spate of mid-decade redistricting for the U.S. House has changed the congressional districts for one-tenth of Americans and significantly altered the makeup of at least one-fifth of districts, according to a new study,” the Associated Press reports.

    71%

    A new Fox News Poll finds 71% of voters think the Trump administration lacks a clear strategy for ending the Iran War, including 95% of Democrats, 83% of independents, and 43% of Republicans. Sixty percent say U.S. military action against Iran was the wrong decision, while just 37% say it was right.
