Alvin & the Chipmunks

June 18, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

South Carolina’s finest Democratic brains
Alvin Greene’s primary victory maintained.
Which caused Greene to emote,
“If nominated, I’ll vote,
“But if elected, I will not campaign!”

The Enthusiasm Chasm

June 16, 2010June 16, 2010 Buck Banks

Like clowns, the tea baggers amuse.
With hope, the Repugs seem infused.
But when Dems remember
What’s ahead in November,
They can’t seem to get enthused.

It’s a Mad, Mad Obama

June 14, 2010June 14, 2010 Buck Banks

The President’s going south to see the slick,
To gauge what’s making the Gulf so sick.
He’s really, truly pissed,
And at the top of his to-do list
Is finding some blameworthy ass to kick.

The Coiffure Question

June 11, 2010 Buck Banks

Why should we care about Barbara Boxer’s hair?
And why would Fiorina even go there?
Why’d Carly go catty during open-mic chatter
When it’s what’s in, not on, one’s head that matters?

Promoting Incompetence

June 11, 2010June 11, 2010 Buck Banks

She’s not much of a ballerina,
And she can’t play the concertina.
But she sure was a slacker
When she ran Hewlett-Packard.
Yeah, talking about Carly Fiorina.

To Helen Gone

June 7, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Sometimes when you’re upset by the news,
It’s not wise to reveal your own views.
Old Helen Thomas
Got handed her ass
For making remarks about Jews.

Tea Bag Geometry

June 4, 2010 Buck Banks

Tea baggers call for intifada,
Saying the Dems will get nada.
But is there anything dumber
Than watching Joe the Plumber
Endorse a Right Angle in Nevada?

Gored By Al?

June 3, 2010 Buck Banks

What happened to Albert and Tipper?
Was that famous photo kiss just a fibber?
As he traveled the world
Meeting hundreds of girls,
Did he fight global warmth with his zipper?

Thrilla In Wasilla

June 1, 2010 Buck Banks

Now Joe McGinnis might seem half-baked,
Though he did it for journalism’s sake.
But he found on locatin’
Next door to the Palins
Good fences do not good neighbors make.

Mud In Our Eyes

May 28, 2010May 28, 2010 Buck Banks

The BP boys are trying to fill
The oil leak using a “top kill.”
They’re managing our expectations,
Though we wouldn’t need these machinations,
If there had been, in the first place, no spill.

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.

    30%

    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.”
