Don’t Ask — Don’t!

February 18, 2016 Buck Banks

Debates just bring Marco Rubio down.
They turn his boyish smile into a frown.
So at South Carolina sessions,
He doesn’t take audience questions,
He’s holding town hall meetings without the “town.”

Missed that Race

February 9, 2016 Buck Banks

We’re all enjoying the Robo Marco campaign drama.
The bullies will soon send him crying to his mama.
But someone should tell the
Misguided little fella
That he’s not running for president against Barack Obama.

Endorsing Recordless Rubio

February 5, 2016February 5, 2016 Buck Banks

Rick dropped out and said of Marco, “I’m for him.”
But when asked for Rubio’s accomplishments, he couldn’t list ’em.
So when’s an endorsement
Mostly an impediment?
When it comes from a washed-up has-been like Rick Santorum.

Never-Ending Dividending
Buck Banks | Sep. 12, 2026

Pundits say that Trump’s $5,000 midterm bribe was an overreach,
And they agree that if lies were a crime, he’d be impeached.
Despite all the dividend promises he’s made,
The fact is, not one has ever been paid,
So even before the midterms, he already owes us $8,000* each.

*$5000 stimulus checks via “DOGE dividend”; $2000 stimulus checks via a “tariff dividend”; $1000-plus checks via “savings” from expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies
