Perils of Pandering

March 10, 2010 Buck Banks

Roy Ashburn, he never flaunted it.
But leaving a gay club he got caught at it.
He still claims that it pays,
To go bashing gays.
But only if your constituents wanted it.

Must-Not-See TV

March 9, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

It’s an idea I’m really not sold on,
Besides, Katie Couric already did one.
I’ll skip The Early Show
‘Cause I don’t need to know
The inside of Harry Smith’s colon.

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?

Modern Populism’s Cynicism
Buck Banks | Jul. 13, 2026

From Donald Trump the world’s modern populists are taking a cue,
When scandal erupts they dish out a helping of “deep state” stew.
If a cabal of elites attacks democracy,
The modern populists cry out “WWTD!”
For when globalists attack, modern populists ask, “What Would Trump Do?”

    $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.”

    A Reuters analysis of Trump’s public comments from June 23 through July 6 (13 days) — when a string of left-wing Democratic candidates won their party’s primaries in New York — found he invoked communism 81 times.
