O, Righteous O’Reilly!

October 24, 2017 Buck Banks

Bill O’Reilly is one sleazy, slimy sod
Whose sexual exploits cost him millions and his job.
But when asked who he blames
For his woes and his shame,
The Sultan of Sexual Harrassment exclaims, “I’m mad at God!”

August 20, 2014 Buck Banks

Rick Perry left the courthouse grinning and defiant,
Leaving behind a his mugshot and set of fingerprints.
If he abused his power
While serving as Texas governor,
Just think of the powers he could abuse as president.

Semiquincentennial Hell
Buck Banks | Jun. 26, 2026

<The retooling of Trump’s Freedom 250, where will it end?
The has-beens set to play decided they’d rather not attend.
How best to celebrate our 250-year-old democracy,
As it’s being replaced by a Christo-fascist autocracy?
How about the national anthem as sung by Kash Patel’s girlfriend.

    “Their New Deal is socialism for the super-rich (and their own enrichment) even if it means increasing poverty, inequality, and illness at home and around the world. They also want to rewrite history to ignore and outright deny our past flaws while banning books that say otherwise from our libraries. And they select even our military leaders based on their version of political correctness over ability.”

    — Former President Bill Clinton, quoted by Deadline, in his July 4th message.

    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.”
