Scott Set to Buy His Second Governorship

July 23, 2013July 23, 2013 Buck Banks

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.

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
