No. 307.1: EXTRA! “Q” And A: Inane And/Or Insane


When you think about what we're going through
(even before the advent of anonymous “Q”),
As a matter of fact, that is simply untrue.
As Dick Nixon might say, “Let me be perfectly clear.
The monsters are not due, the monsters are here.”

No. 307: Sick Transit, Gloria (first as tragedy, then as farce)


The Roman Empire
was the most superior
power the world'd ever seen.
They whupped the Greeks,
Spain and North Africa
and everyone in between.
Rich, demanding
and ever expanding
the Romans had money to burn.
It was all goin' fine,
then they declined
and got whupped in their turn.

No. 306: Defetalism

Whatever we do, we all of us lose.
In the end it's all the same.
And yet. . .the lucky, the tricky
those beloved of the gods,
may get to chose the game.

No. 305: They Just Don't Make Dutch Boys Like They Used To


Alex Wong/Getty Images 
In Dutch, as such
A Dutch attorney was sentenced on Tuesday to 30 days in prison for lying to federal agents, in the first formal conviction obtained by Robert Mueller in his investigation of Russian election interference and alleged collusion between aides to Donald Trump and Moscow.


EXCLUSIVE!: TCC News, apparent company of The Daily Doggerel, has exclusively obtained a copy of a proposed FOX News editorial regarding sentencing of confessed Dutch lawyer tied to Trump campaign if by nothing else than greasy hair.

Tho', truth be told,
he did cop a plea
for playing a rôle
in our unfolding Trumpery,
why should we punish him,
this white male European*,
when our “Justice” system
denies us the right to shoot on sight
folks from the Caribbean?
(And Muslims, Blacks and Latinos
or the Injuns who now own casinos.)
The tragic fact is
we need target practice
to secure our borders,
to protect our wives
to defend our daughters,
to save our villages
from raping and pillaging.

We restate our conclusion,
there was no collusion
despite the profusion
of evidence.
LIB'RELS take heed 
do not push to impeach
even FOX does not need
the happenstance
of Preachy Pence as president.
_______________________________
*Tho' likely irrelevant to this discussion
it must be noted that his wife is a Russian.
Of course, one can not draw any inference.
It is, perhaps, just a funny coincidence.
(Would it be too snarky were I to remark
that her daddy's one of Vlad's best oligarchs?)

No. 304: Come Up And See Me Some Time

Donald Trump has invited Vladimir Putin to Washington, the White House and the Kremlin both confirmed on Monday.

EXCLUSIVE! TCC News has exclusively obtained the text of a follow-up note sent by President Trump to President Putin confirming the invitation.

Mi casa es su casa.
(You know what I mean?
I wouldn't be here
except you intervened!)
Please, please, please come visit.
I feel so alone.
We can camp out
on the South Lawn
and send out for burgers
and stay up real late,
tell scary stories
and negotiate
trade agreements
and fates of nations
we'll be each others
best foreign relations.
In my gold tent
down on all fours,
I'll show you mine
if you show me yours.

When I watch this
I think, “Holy shit!
They're just like us
only we'll NEV! ER! quit.”

Mi casa es su casa.
(Вы знаете, что я имею в виду?
Я бы здесь не было
кроме вас вмешалась!)
Пожалуйста, пожалуйста, пожалуйста, приходите.
Я чувствую себя так одиноко.
Мы можем ночевать под открытым небом
на Южной лужайке
и разослать для гамбургеров
и оставаться реальной поздно;
рассказать страшные истории
и переговоры
Торговые соглашения
и судьбы народов
мы будем каждый другие
Лучшие международные отношения.
На моей золотой палатке
на четвереньки,
Я покажу тебе свой
Если вы показать мне свою.


Когда я это смотреть
Я думаю, «Святое дерьмо!
Они так же, как мы
мы только NEV! Э-э! бросить курить ".

No. 302.1: EXTRA! Ho-hum


     You could measure the decline of Fox News by the drop in the quality of guests waiting in the green room. A year and a half ago, you might have heard George Will discussing policy with a senator while a former Cabinet member listened in. Today, you would meet a Republican commissar with a steakhouse waistline and an eager young woman wearing too little fabric and too much makeup, immersed in memorizing her talking points.
     This wasn’t a case of the rats leaving a sinking ship. The best sailors were driven overboard by the rodents.
WaPo: Why I left Fox News (Paywall)

That FOX “News”
is not NEWS
is NOT news
because
FOX “News”
is not news
and never was.
FOX “News”
fakes “news”,
that's what does.
