Thoughts Before The Second GOP Presidential Debate

The doctor tells Donald Trump, “Don’t worry.
This procedure’s minor. I am a virgin
When it comes to this stuff but I’m very rich
And can figure out being a surgeon.”

“Hold on!” Trump bellows. “I want the best!
How the hell is this possible?”
“Donald, chill. I have a huuuge hedge fund
And we just bought the hospital.”

“If you’re not a real doctor, you’re fired!
This is making me stressful!”
“Don’t be a baby. Like you, I’m all about
Being really successful.”

“Are you listening to a word I’m saying?
Take a hike right now, buddy!”
“Donald, c’mon, don’t be like that --- I’m
Known as a real quick study.”

“That’s not exactly reassuring, pal! I’m
Not going to stop my complaining!”
“Donald, haven’t you ever heard about
The values of on the job training?”

“I don’t care! Get out right this second
And bring in the head resident!”
“OK, but … isn’t this what you’re doing
With your run for President?”

Some Thoughts About Kim Davis

Elliot Richardson was Nixon’s Attorney General.
Dick felt it was time to fire & outfox
The top lawyer who was looking into Watergate:
Special prosecutor, Archibald Cox.

Richardson told Congress he wouldn’t interfere
And he didn’t feel it was OK
To break his promise and, at the same time, he
Also didn’t wish to disobey

The President. So, he chose jail instead and
In the long run, God save us,
He became a true American hero, not at all
Unlike Kentucky’s Kim Davis!

(Hold on, my bad, I just did some research
And the info that I happened to find
Is Richardson didn’t go to jail --- he did the
Old school right thing and resigned.)

Kim, if you want to only abide by God’s law
(I don't mean to nag or hector)
Go get yourself another gig at a church or
Working in the private sector.

I’m not an Apostolic Christian but I’ve had
Thoughts of miracles offhand
Like you live in a town of 23,000 but are
Pulling in over eighty grand.

With right wing hating and homophobia
Your name is now synonymous:
If you ever leave your church, you should
Start Apostolics Anonymous.

Some Incoming Duke Freshman Refused To Read "Fun Home" Because It Goes Against Their Core Religious Values

These closed-minded kids have more to fear in
Duke’s class on classics of American Lit:
Eliot was an anti-Semite, Faulkner was a drunk
And Hemingway didn’t like God a bit.

Other classes surely will be along these lines:
Their pursuit of limited knowledge
Would be smoother if they attended a private
Religious university … or college.

Things To Keep In Mind About How An Attack Was Stopped On A French Train

We hear about how lone terrorists may
Suddenly and violently strike. That
Is true but amateur counter-terrorists
Are just as prepared to strike back.

Thoughts About The November Parole For Jonathan Pollard

Jonathan Pollard was in prison for life
And here is the simple reason why:
He was tried and convicted in 1987
For being an Israeli-American spy.

As an employee of the U.S. Navy
He swiped on Israel’s behalf
Tens of thousands of documents
In only a year and a half.

Other spies who spied for many years
Didn’t get even nearly that much:
Pilfering on such a huge scale suggests
At work Pollard didn’t chat much.

How did he steal so much so fast? He
Did something not tried & true:
I bet he took secrets during his Naval
Intelligence analyst interview.

In Deposition, Cosby Admitted Paying Women To Keep Affairs Hidden From His Wife

In related news, here’s another update
On this situation ---
Fate slipped Bill some Quaaludes and
Ruined his reputation.

All those who worship massive wealth
Are in great pain today ---
There’s no amount of money than can
Make this scandal go away.

The Remarkable "Booya!" To Charleston Shooter Dylann Roof

Hated Blacks, found solace in
Extremist internet escapism:
Wanted to start a race war but
Launched a war on racism.
