New Conspiracy Theory

November 17, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Barbara Walters is interviewing the Obamas, they say.
It’s to broadcast on Thanksgiving, plus one day.
Am I just being sensitive?
Are the schedulers conservative?
Or is it just a coincidence it airs on “Black Friday?”

Lying Windbag Returns

November 11, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

I remember back when television sets had knobs,
Back when real journalists could get TV jobs.
But now I’m singin’ the blues
‘Cause all we’ve got is Fox News,
And fat-headed lying windbags like Lou Dobbs.

The Unearned Honorific

November 6, 2010June 19, 2015 Buck Banks

With Fox News and the tea-baggers are lovin’ her,
Sarah Palin craves the limelight they’re givin’ her.
But her title don’t fit,
Because remember — she quit!
So I think they should stop calling her “governor.”

Far Gone Juan

October 25, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

The leadership at NPR insists
Juan is gone and he won’t be missed.
They say on Fox in his new position
Williams is validating their decision —
He’s keeping the “anal” in “news analyst.”

Juan Williams’ Song

October 22, 2010March 8, 2019 Buck Banks

I don’t like Muslims on my plane,
I don’t like Muslims, they’re all the same.
I don’t want Muslims at Ground Zero
And Bill O’Reilly is my hero.
I’m scared of Muslims, that’s what I say,
And I’ll get fired for $2 million any day.

New 9/11 Hijackers

September 10, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Terry Jones and his church are a bunch of dumb Crackers,
Islamophobic haters and mean ol’ attackers.
But with a tip of the hat,
You’ve got to hand it to them that
They’re a savvy bunch of media hijackers.

Scott Rasmussen’s Bias

August 31, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve to live,
I’m just saying his polls tend to be negative.
I’m not saying he’s right,
I’m just saying he’s RIGHT,
And his stats always help the conservatives.

Reclaim the Restoring

August 30, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Al Sharpton left me feeling bored
And listening to Sarah Palin’s a chore.
But hey, what the heck,
Thanks to Glenn Beck,
Today, I feel like my honor’s restored

It’s No Dream

August 27, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

They’re gathering on the Washington Mall,
The right-wingers, tea-baggers and all.
No matter how peaceful it seems,
This wasn’t MLK’s dream —
It’s the nightmare of Glenn Beck’s goddamn gall.

Slide On, Steve

August 12, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

We can sympathize with Stephen Slater.
Air travel will get to you, sooner or later.
It takes chutzpah and aplomb
To shout out the F-bomb
And still come off as a hero, not a hater.

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.”
