(with apologies to Jerry Ragovoy and Norman Meade)

TOMORROW AND TOMORROW AND TOMORROW (March 15) —
Time's not on our side, no siree
Time's not on our side, no siree
Time will undo you, e-ven-tu-al-ly
We are goin' down
The plague's here in our town
causin' mass cas-u-al-ties, yeah

Time's not on our side, no siree
Time's not on our side, no siree
This time no TV show, it’s re-al-it-y
We are goin' down
The plague is back in town
bringin' mass cas-u-al-ties

Go ahead, Donnie, go ahead, tell us more lies
And, Donnie, do all your greasy, greedy heart desires
Remember, remember survivors will realize
that you, you in-com-pe-tent fool,
saw them as in-con-tin-ent tools
before your time on Earth (and FOX) expired, yeah

TIME ain't on your side, no siree
TIME ain't on your side, guarantee
So no more fake covers (your sick fan-ta-sy)
The virus runs amok (like CDC warned)
We're shit-out-of-luck (with you in charge)
You fat cat's ass tro-phy

Time, time, time’s not on our side, no it’s not, I said
Time, time, time’s not on your side, you shot your wad, I said
Time, time, time’s nobody's friend, no it's not

№ 812: The Turn Of The Skew

CRY WOLF (March 12) —
FOX NEWS BULL IT IN:
This virus is a Democrat,
an illegal alien.
A Mexican-Muslim
(decidedly brown,
a smuggler of drugs)
we'll run out of town.

QUESTIONS:
Donnie's Great Wall can't keep out this virus?
Should we conclude God wants to expire us?
Time to gnash teeth? Commence rending garments?
OR should we ignore these damned Murdoch varmints,
who loudly profess how the US is blessed?
To those who raise chickens, a FOX is a pest.

№ 754.1: EXTRA! From Rudy's Greatest “Hits”

Rudy Giuliani, a Catholic, says he is ‘more of a Jew’ than George Soros, who survived the Holocaust (Paywall)

Rudolph W. Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, claimed in an interview that he is “more of a Jew” than Hungarian-born philanthropist George Soros, who survived the Holocaust.

The comment came amid a larger, seemingly boundless interview with New York Magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi, in which Giuliani reportedly claimed, without evidence, that former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was “controlled” by Soros. He went on to call Soros, a Jewish billionaire and influential Democratic donor, an “enemy of Israel.”

“He put all four ambassadors there. And he’s employing the FBI agents,” Giuliani said, before continuing the conspiracy-theory-laden diatribe.

“Don’t tell me I’m anti-Semitic if I oppose him. Soros is hardly a Jew. I’m more of a Jew than Soros is,” said Giuliani, who is Roman Catholic. “I probably know more about — he doesn’t go to church, he doesn’t go to religion — synagogue. He doesn’t belong to a synagogue, he doesn’t support Israel, he’s an enemy of Israel. He’s elected eight anarchist DA’s in the United States.”

GONE SOUTH, SPECIFICALLY (December 24)

(with apologies to Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II)

I expect everyone of the Dems to make fun
of my loud protestations of fake ev-i-dance
And they'll say I'm naïve as a babe to believe
any fable I hear from some Russian transplants

FOX-ily I'll face them and shout all their doubts away
Boldly I'll sing about Bidens in Kyiv
Endlessly I'll open my fat lying mouth and say
conspiracy is really a Democrat sort of a thing

I'm not ashamed to reveal
the unusually delusional illogical feelings I feel

I'm more Jewish than someone like Soros,
a prime example of pure Jewish joy
Though I claim to be de-vout RC,
I am not really a goy
Nor can they say I'm Mafiosi
unlike — excuse me!  Nan-cy Pel-osi
Though I don't speak Yiddish
I am not at all skittish
which proves I'm not a goy
I am vain and insane and I go to Ukraine
to ferret out “facts”
what kind of critic says antisemitic
that is how I relax
I'm more Jewish than someone like Soros,
(I sometimes wear dresses, but never play coy)
Though I claim to be de-vout RC,
I am not, I am not,
I am not, I am not,
I am not really a goy

I'm more Jewish than someone like Soros,
(I sometimes wear dresses, but never play coy)
Though I claim to be de-vout RC,
I am not, I am not,
I am not, I am not,
I am not, I am not,
I am not, I am not,
I am not, I am not,
I am not, I am not,
I am not, I am not,
I am not, I am not,
I am not really THAT goy

(with apologies to Harry Warren)

I'll tell you a story a real true life story,
the tale of low-life from Queens,
who was naturally naughty
and loved all things gaudy
who pos-sessed the most beau-ti-ful genes.

[Chorus:]
Donnie Trump, Donnie Trump,
craven, outrageous and old,
flushing the coun-try down the la-va-tor-y
he has no soul to be sold.

He came to Manhattan in order to fatten
his already undeserved purse
by cheating and stealing
and double-dealing
and in general making things worse.

(Chorus)

He rode with Roy Cohn who made easy goin'
for this brash, blond boy from nowhere
who, without interruption, taught him corruption 
and told him that he had great hair.

Donnie Trump, Donnie Trump,
he has no soul to be sold.

Well, he increased his fortune
in disproportion
by gaming the bankruptcy laws.
Tabloids adored him
and women implored him
to muss their clothes with his paws.

(Chorus)
Excuse me for saying, “slime mold”.

№ 693: Rumors Of Boomers (the FOX demographic)

ONTHEBRINK (September 29)

We the people of the Murdoch FOX nation
will soon be exceedingly dead.
That could explain, however appalling,
our lack of concern for what lies ahead
for “the children” (now mid- to late-middle age)
and grandkids (who never call,
except to remind us when they have a birthday).
To them we say, “The hell with you all!”
They can simmer in their own juices
as oceans rise and the world bakes.
We will never apologize or offer excuses,
we know we never made any mistakes!
WE WERE THE BABY BOOM GENERATION!
We know we were the crown of creation.
At this late date it would be superfluous,
to think about anything other than us.
As the planet swirls swift down the drain,
we just take our meds, watch FOX and complain.

№ 692: Jack And Donnie (And Liz?)

TOMORROWANDTOMORROWANDTOMORROW (September 26)

JFK told us, “Shoot for the moon”
while he, himself, worked the bed-room.
He was a phony, but it was inspiring.
Donnie's more “honest”. And very tiring.

Both blatantly lied about being healthy.
Jack was more modest about being wealthy.
Both chided news outlets. Which condemnation
was duly rewarded with fan approbation.
The Herald Tribune, I fear, is no longer.
CNN, it appears, is a wee tiny bit stronger.

Neither Jack nor Donnie was what you could call “qualified” —
I wonder did THAT EVER matter? 
Although everything Kennedy's foreign to me. . .
Forced to pick? Reluctantly Jack, over the latter.
Elizabeth Warren now sits in Jack's place,
warming his seat in the Senate. If
we were to replace Donnie with Liz,
I wonder what would be the benefit?
Going from dumb ass to over-the-top?
One thing's for damn sure, this has to 🛑.

If Donnie loses please, let it be so!
you have to wonder, would he actually go?
Would he try to hang on — on some pretense
that, even to FOX, does not make sense?
Would FOX proclaim how this hard lesson,
has now secured Ivanka's succession?

№ 691.2: EXTRA! Donnie Plea Bargains







This stuff with Ukrainia
is really a painia
in my most ample butt.
BUT I am confident
all my close confidants
are gonna keep they're mouth shut
and not spill the beans
because that would mean
an end to my precedence
which would be disproportionate
and most unfortunate
and you'd be stuck with Mike Pence
who all agree
is worse than me
in addition to which he's a schnook.
Though I am a liar
who loves yelling “FIRE!”,
I am an adorable crook
whose crazy views
play well on FOX News —
I am very a-pre-ci-ated
by the old codgers
who hate draft dodgers
and think Meryl Streep's overrated.
The way that I see it
it makes great TV, in-
creasing cable news viewing.
CNN should be thankful,
I earn them a tankful
of loot 'coz I do what I'm doing.
Do not sound the alarm!
Nobody's been harmed.
Billionaires are doing fine.
Even George Soros
is joining the chorus
acknowledging I am divine
or if not a god
a guy with a wad
the world will not soon be shot of.
I may be vain,
a hurricane. . .
damage. . .I've done a lot of.
But I am here
so everyone cheer.
I tell you it's going greatly.
Please I beg, trust me.
Please do not bust me.
Have I ever lied to you lately?

№ 690.1: EXTRA! אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה (and I don't give a damn)

TRUMP PALACE (September 25)







Glued to the box, in just socks, watching FOX
I watch as the Dems marshal their “facts”
knowing I dasn't relax over snacks
of burgers and Cokes. They are not joking.

I told the UN the globe’s on the wane,
I meddled in Vlad’s domain, the Ukraine.
While this is not a strain on my brain,
(and if it were I’d not deign to complain)
a lot of this shit is really a pain
and I do not think I would do it again
except for the fun of thumbing my nose
at everything Obama did, I suppose.
What with his “smarts” and smarmy “honesty”
he turned the government into a monast’ry.

Out with “dignity”, forget being “formal”.
My fans delight when I act normal.
Like back in the day when JFK
fiddled with chicks and had it his way
without his spouse, in the White House,
and it was charming if you were louse.

Whenever I tweet in distortional font,
gazillions of fans get what they want.
And, please excuse, but I must observe,
I am exactly what they deserve.

№ 672.1: EXTRA! Pox On The FOX

Trouble in paradise: Trump attacks Fox News – and Fox News hits back


Neil Cavuto becomes the latest network host to reject Trump’s criticism, saying: ‘My job is to cover you, not fawn over you’

HOODATHUNK (August 30)

What went together like bagels and lox?
Spoiler: the answer was Donnie and FOX.
The corpulent jerk and the fawning network,
disproved Aaron Sorkin's contention that lies cannot work.

But something's amiss with Trump-Murdoch bliss,
with FOX correspondents refusing to kiss
the looming ass of this sociopath.
Comme on dit en français, “It is to laugh.”

№ 605.1: EXTRA! Ho Hum (another day at the Oval Orifice)

Bannon described Trump Organization as 'criminal enterprise', Michael Wolff book claims

Former White House adviser says financial investigations will take down president in sequel to Fire and Fury

The former White House adviser Steve Bannon has described the Trump Organization as a criminal entity and predicted that investigations into the president’s finances will lead to his political downfall, when he is revealed to be “not the billionaire he said he was, just another scumbag”.

The startling remarks are contained in Siege: Trump Under Fire, the author Michael Wolff’s forthcoming account of the second year of the Trump administration.

THE NEW IMPROVED SWAMP, May 29

Now let us handle 
another Trump scandal.
(He'll say it's “very unfair”.)
Say what you will
about this shrill shill,
you have to admit
he's got some pair.

Away to the dumpster
with Cosa Trumpster.
Break out all the sump pumps.
Vaccinate everyone
against Trump Mumps.
Call it THE POX.
(Except on FOX.)

Crime, if you please,
is Trump's “family” disease.
Did Junior sneeze?
Did Eric wheeze?
Ivanka, as always,
cannot be appeased.

I mean Geez Louise,
high time we stopped 
being chumps
dump all the Trumps,
get off the fence,
with sad reluctance
inaugurate Pence
and speak of liberty
in the past tense.

№ 574: (Un)well, I Declare

EARTH, April 15

If I may, may I correct Thomas J. just a tad?

“Created equal”? Equally BAD!

Was Jefferson lying or was he dense
or simply lacking Thom. Paine's “Common Sense”?
From this man working slaves on lands seized
from inhabitants dispatched by guns and disease,
“created equal” actually smacks
of what you'd expect from FOX Murdoch hacks
faking facts to score points. No less. No more.

Having said what I've said, let me hasten to add
all other scenarios are just as bad.
If oppressed and oppressor roles are reversed,
nothing much changes because we are cursed
by Freud's “life drive” to prevail and subdue.
Though you may see a diff in the victors' hue.

N.B. At variance with our usual practice, the “lyrics” below are not meant to be — indeed, cannot be — sung to the tune. Intent is to set the mood.

BETWEEN DONALD'S EARS, April 7

I envy everyone who isn't me
because they have me to envy.
What is there to life if life does not test you,
if no one and nothing ever can best you?

I have the best words. And the most bestest money.
I have the best sex. (Ask one of my honeys.)
I have the best lawyers. (Now that Cohen is gone.)
I've had the best wives I could cheat on.

I have the best children. (Except Junior and Eric.)
I have the best followers. (They think I'm hysterical.)
I have the best network, my FOXes and Friends.
(The one in the middle, does she have a boyfriend?)

I eat the the best burgers. I play the best golf.
If I had a reindeer, it would be Rudolph.
(If a reindeer could be Ey-tal-ee-an-ie,
I'd have the best with Rudolph Giuliani.).

I've the best administration ever assembled.
There's never been one that could resemble
my cohort of schemers, liars and freaks,
incompetent relatives, providers of leaks,
these grubby grifters, this fine bunch of crooks
each a backstabber, who'll write a book
saying my White House is one piece of work
calling me an in-CO-herent jerk,
distracted, disorganized, discombobulated,
confused, corrupted, hair corrugated,
only concerned with my orange-y image,
eating junk food, avoiding spinach,
driving the the country to rack and ruin
too Dunning Kruger to know what I'm doing.

That's what your life is if you are me.
Oh, to have someone who I could envy.

№ 562.1: EXTRA! The Trumpire Strikes Back

Trump Boasts About Mueller Report, Jeers ‘Collusion Delusion’ at Rally


Hurls insults at Democrats, says rivals ‘tear up the fabric of American democracy’


The Mueller Report has three hundred pages. . .
every one says “NO COLLUSION”
which, as you know, all of FOX sages
said was the only conclusion
possible given the facts
which were not in dispute
despite Rachel Meadow's unfair attacks
(a lezzie to boot, she's not even cute),
she's so in the sack
with the Dems who condemn. . .
there's lotsa gay gals — maybe her “pals”? —
I could make normal, you know anti-abortion,
soon as I'm done with my Mueller distortion.)

Goats, cows and Devin Nunes' mom: how a Republican's Twitter lawsuit backfired

In the lawsuit against Twitter and a handful of users, the California Republican claims to be the victim of vicious internet trolls....

WASHINGTON, March 20
(with apologies to Sir John Suckling)

Why so pale and wan, dear Devin?
Prithee, why so pale?
Pretty please, do not tell me
thy ego is so frail.
Prithee, why so pale?

Why thy silly suit, dear Devin?
Prithee, why thy suit?
Being friend to Murdoch's FOX,
thou know'st truth is moot.
Prithee, why thy suit?

Knock it off, thou gormless fool,
thou sniveling Trump toady,
thou dumb-ass bigot, alt-right tool,
thou sad Wile E. Coyote.
If thou construe that insult be,
I invite thee: come sue me.

№ 549.1: EXTRA! Tuck Too And Hit Far Right



Tucker Carlson: Fox host under fire again over resurfaced racist comments

Remarks made when Carlson was a guest on a shock jock radio show, which he was a regular guest on from 2006 to 2011


If you wish your son to succeed
at anything other than mucker,
please be advised (and be wise, indeed!),
refrain from naming him “Tucker”.
In the school yard, boys being boys,
a Tucker is ever in peril
from other boys testing his poise.
(I don’t mean by calling him Meryl!)
And if Tucker is close to his mother,
bound up in her apron strings,
soon or late, one way or another,
such teasing may make him sprout wings.
Condemned to the closet, locked in a box,
he’ll spend his life lying for FOX.

№ 496: A Matter Of Decree — The President Addresses The Nation (tomorrow the world?)

Due to the flaws
in all of our “laws”
the best people agree
I should rule by decree.
Since I, alone,
know what is best,
I told Congress,
“Give it a rest.”

Steve Miller tells me
I have the power.
Therefore, commencing
at this precise hour
every American —
everywhere, everyday —
must forever do
whatever I say.

I've shut down the courts.
You cannot appeal.
If you need to know more
read The Art Of The Deal.
The Federal Reserve
I've ordered to close.
I will not tolerate
being opposed.

Media outlets?
Sealed with large locks.
Except Murdoch papers
and stations of FOX.
To the police:
fire at will.
Specifically:
shoot solely to kill.

Henceforth, so my glory
is rightly displayed:
each year on my birthday,
a BIGLY a parade
in every city, 
village and town.
And if people insist
I'll accept the crown.

All appearing before me
will have to kneel.
Forehead on floor
I think ideal.
Mike Pence resigned
so he could. . .whatever. . .
He is not needed,
we gods live forever.

I got indicted just this mornin',

Just some confusion concerning collusion.
Rudy tells me it'll all be fine.
I saw it all on FOX this mornin'.
They said I'm lookin' at hard time.
Mueller's a hard on.
I beg my pardon.
Not to worry it's gonna be just fine.
Melanie, go fetch me
my Diet Coke.
They can't upset me,
whole thing is a joke.
Tho' I got indicted just this mornin'.
They know I'm guilty real big time,
but they can't convict me
or even restrict me.
I swear on my life,
like I cheat on my wife,
the whole damn thing is sure to turn out fine.

I got indicted just this mornin',
although there really was no crime.
Did Junior back flip? Did Eric jump ship?
Makes no diff, it'll still be fine.
Been watching FOX & Friends all mornin'
Not been a really happy time.
And tho' I'm stable,
I cut the cable.
Maybe there'll only be a fine?
Will all my lyin'
now bring me down?
Will they for screwin'
run me outta town?
I got indicted just this mornin',
although there really was no crime.
Take pity on me.
Don't Roseanne Barr me.
Please say everything. . .
I could be you king. . .
Please, please tell me that I'll be fine.

№ 378.3: EXTRA! An Aaron Sorkin Moment? (if only)

NYT: Republicans Rebuke Trump for Siding With Putin as Democrats Demand Action (Paywall)
WASHINGTON — Republicans across the ideological spectrum rebuked President Trump after Monday’s extraordinary news conference with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, with Speaker Paul D. Ryan admonishing Mr. Trump and declaring, “There is no moral equivalence between the United States and Russia.” Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, called it “one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory.” Beyond Capitol Hill, even some personalities on Fox News signaled they were done defending the president’s actions. Neil Cavuto, a Fox Business Network host, called Mr. Trump’s performance “disgusting.”

Neville Chamberlain had only one Munich
where Nazi Germany made him into a eunuch.
With Vlad in Helsinki and Kim in Singapore,
Trump's had two Munichs. How many more
can his party endure?
