Bawling Billionaire Babies

January 13, 2026 Buck Banks


California is considering imposing a billionaire wealth tax,
And the state’s big billionaire babies are having a panic attack.
They don’t seem to see the blatant hypocrisy
Of paying millions to defend their oligarchy,
Instead of paying it forward in unselfish, altruistic acts.

The New Food McPyramid

January 13, 2026 Buck Banks


In this Age of Obesity, government dietary guidelines are warranted,
But it’s not always what you eat — it could be the genes you inherited.
They’re recommending more dairy and red meats,
Less processed foods, less sugar, fewer sweets,
So we can thank RFK Jr., Donald Trump and McDonald’s for our new food pyramid.

High-Test Protests

January 12, 2026 Buck Banks


Of domestic American protesters Donald Trump is not a fan,
Even though peaceful protest is a right of every American.
So even if you’re fighting the good fight,
Trump won’t protect your protest rights,
Unless, of course, you’re demonstrating on the streets of Tehran.

History in the Unmaking

January 11, 2026 Buck Banks


The august Smithsonian Institution, under Trump, has a new role,
It’s not a history museum, now that history’s a thing he controls.
Stuff he doesn’t like, say, impeachments,
Get the full Orwellian treatment:
Along with Jan. 6 and 2020, they get stuffed down the old Memory Hole.

No Morals, But Mortal

January 9, 2026 Buck Banks


Donald Trump seems to take pride in his venal criminality,
Asserting that the only limit on his actions is his own morality.
But of course Trump has no morals,
So he obeys neither laws nor rules —
And the only real check on his behavior will be his own mortality.

Poetic Justice

Maduro’s Legal Woes
Buck Banks | Jan. 5, 2026

Today Nicolas Maduro was arraigned in New York on charges of narco-terrorism,
He pleaded “not guilty” and claimed to be a “decent man,” not a villain.
But Maduro got bad legal advice:
His lawyer forgot Trump Inherent Vice™ —
He should have pleaded guilty and then bought a Trump Pardon™ for two million.
