First Date Debate

After whatever that was last night on all the major channels Satire1 hit the corner Main and Moose in Flathead County, Montana to find out what voters and viewers thought of ruckus.


Big Booted Woman

“They should have given them food to throw at each other. That or just shown it on HBO where they could have said what they were really feeling.”


Camp Town Popeye

See, this is another example of what we’re losing to Covid. How are two guys supposed to wrestle six feet apart? That, and there was absolutely no call for them to be wearing shirts.”


Kindergarten Teacher

“I didn’t know Trump divorced Melania. And when did he marry Biden? She must have been window dressing for the last election. You didn’t have to watch for even ten minutes last night to see those two have been a couple for a long time.”


Local Pol

“I usually like Chris Wallace’s work but last night was more a job for Oprah. Every time they started to get down to the real problem with their relationship they let policy positions and national interests get in the way. When are they going to get some real counseling?”


Communist Cosmetician 

“I thought the eye pokes and groin kicks were fine but I was sooo disappointed they didn’t get down to what everybody really wanted to see and that was the hair pulling. They’re both wearing wigs. Everybody knows that.”


Mortarboard on Board

“I don’t know why Biden didn’t go after the Trump kids criminal activity. Their whole generation are criminals and what else could they be? We’ve left them a country where nothing is paid for.”


Young Teen with boner

“God yes I watched it. There was nothing else on. And am I glad I can’t vote.”

Stop Quacking

The blood orange sun over the Hudson 

Signals just the beginning of the real

Wildfire, hurricane and earthquake season

Presidential election


The plume of smoke that rode the jet stream 

Three thousand miles comes from 

The wonderful world of color

And manipulation


Disneyland is burning down

Like Atlanta in Gone With the Wind

Minnie grabbed the buckboard reins

Knowing the film better than Mickey


Somebody left Goofy behind

Who enjoyed full citizenship

While Pluto was treated like a dog

Couldn’t bark English


Ducky Donald is quacking up the Gulf

As clouds bigger than Montana 

Block the light

And drown out other views


Donald is going to be Jack Lantern

This Halloween

While Washington Joe 

A cranium with eyes


Donald will shine the light

Of his celebrity out his mouth

While Joe will mask

The un-gummed teeth of his grin


How do you like your leaders?

Cautious mole in the hole

Or grasshopper in the autumn wind

While the Supreme Court just lost a giant
