Afghanistan Unplugged

July 26, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Life’s made up of valleys and peaks,
When it’s the TRUTH for which one seeks.
But when it comes to the war
Search blindly no more —
Just navigate over to Wikileaks.

The Racist Editor

July 22, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

We knew it right from the start,
He was born with mean genes and no heart.
He edits creatively
Dependably deceptively,
And there’s a special spot in hell for Breitbart.

No Take-Backs

June 23, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

How did he feel when he got off the phone,
After the President ordered him home?
I bet General Stanley McChrystal
Felt regretful and wishful
He’d never said what he said in the pages of the Rolling Stone.

To Helen Gone

June 7, 2010May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Sometimes when you’re upset by the news,
It’s not wise to reveal your own views.
Old Helen Thomas
Got handed her ass
For making remarks about Jews.

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.

Seoul Sleep-Over
Buck Banks | May. 4, 2026

When we think of South Korea, we think of boy bands rapping,
But every year in Seoul they hold an unusual happening.
City fathers were worried
That city life is too hurried,
So they created a festival that celebrates competitive napping.

Verbatim

    “This administration is dripping with corruption from top to bottom, but rushing a settlement to steal $1.7 billion taxpayer dollars for a slush fund before a judge can toss your junk lawsuit would be among the most corrupt acts in American political history. This lawsuit has never been anything more than a shakedown of the American people by a crook president and his crook lawyers.”

    — Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), quoted by CNBC, on the reported settlement proposal the Justice Department has with President Trump for his lawsuit against the IRS.

    “Thank you for everything you’ve done for the country. To the folks at CBS, in the words of the great Ed Murrow: Good night, and good luck, motherf**kers.”

    — David Letterman, quoted by CNN, speaking to Stephen Colbert as “The Late Show” ends its 33-year run on CBS.

    “They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”

    — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), speaking at the University of Chicago.

    3.8%

    Wall Street Journal: “Consumer prices rose 3.8% in April from a year earlier, a clear impact of higher gas prices since the start of the war with Iran. … The figures, reported Tuesday by the Labor Department, surpassed the previous month’s reported increase of 3.3%. Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected inflation of 3.7%.”

    56%

    A survey of 1,000 Americans conducted by YouGov on behalf of NewsGuard found that 24 percent believe the foiled attack by a gunman on April 25 was not a real attempt to kill Trump, the Daily Beast Reports. When expanded to include those who believe the assassination attempt was staged or are “unsure,” the figure rises significantly to 56 percent. Nearly one-third of Americans (30 percent) also believe that at least one of the assassination attempts against the president—the WHCD dinner incident, the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024, or the foiled attack at one of Trump’s Florida golf courses in September 2024—was staged.

    115,000

    America’s employers delivered a surprising 115,000 new jobs last month despite an economic shock from the Iran war, reported the AP. Hiring beat the 65,000 jobs forecasters had expected, though it decelerated from the 185,000 jobs created in March. The unemployment rate remained at a low 4.3%, the Labor Department reported Friday.
