I will have $25 million in the bank by the end of the year and will use it in early 2014 to define my opponent.

— Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R), quoted by National Review, which notes “a war chest of that size will buy a lot of defining, even in an expensive media state like Florida.”

LeMieux, Le Loser

April 26, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Looks like George LeMieux’s just not on the list
To remain a Senator, as he wished.
For try as he might,
His association’s too tight
With the loser who appointed him, Charlie Crist.

Ensign In Sin

April 22, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

John Ensign resigned, blaming “turbulence,”
But we blame his concupiscence.
When you bonk your friend’s wife,
You’re going to screw up your life —
It’s not the turbulence, stupid, it’s the tumescence!

Nasty Old ‘Uterus’

April 1, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

In Florida’s legislature, owned by the GOP,
Free speech ain’t a right, it’s a theory.
By loosing an utterance
That included the word “uterus,”
Scott Randolph learned what prudes they can be.

Worth Its Salt

February 8, 2011May 22, 2014 Buck Banks

Florida’s government has its faults,
With back-room deals done in its vaults.
But when push came to shove,
Out of desperation or love,
It quickly banned cocaine-like bath salts.

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.”
