Slow-Motion Catastrophe

May 26, 2010 Buck Banks

Not even the experts know
Where the oil will eventually go.
But one thing’s for sure,
There is no quick cure
For the poor poisoned Gulf of Mexico.

Ayn Rand Paul

May 20, 2010 Buck Banks

Rand Paul doesn’t lie awake nights,
Worrying about civil rights.
He’s not a contrarian,
He’s just libertarian.
It’s for business — not people — he fights.

Sore Winner

May 19, 2010 Buck Banks

It speaks tomes about the class of Rand Paul,
And demonstrates his tea bagger’s gall,
That when defeated Trey Grayson
Tried to say congratulations,
Rand Paul wouldn’t take the phone call.

Uncertain Seats

May 17, 2010 Buck Banks

Pundits are generating content,
Parsing potential voter intent.
One thing’s for sure
In this midterm year,
Nobody wants to be an incumbent.

Sight Selection

May 12, 2010 Buck Banks

You know how some Republicans act around girls.
They behave just like mashers and churls.
But I’ve heard it mentioned
They might hold their convention
In Tampa — Lap-Dance Capital of the World!

The Progressive Problem

May 6, 2010May 6, 2010 Buck Banks

It’s hard to be progressive
When society gets regressive.
Seems we on the left
Just ain’t got the heft
To hang on to success when we possess it.

Spring is sprung.
The grass is rizz.
I wonder where the flowers is.


Happy birthday, Mom!

Political Wind Vanes

April 29, 2010April 29, 2010 Buck Banks

If it’s political office you seek,
You’d better be strong, not weak.
Stake out your position
And stay true to your mission,
Or you’ll end up like Crist, Rubio and Meek.

Loneliness of the Placeholder

April 26, 2010 Buck Banks

As the wags and pundits confer,
On the Florida senate race, they demur
To make a prediction,
Though they say with conviction
They’re damned glad they’re not George Lemieux!

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.

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.”
