V Day +1


I love you iPhone

With you I can wean

Myself off that bitch Netflix

All up in my eye ears

Stim you lie

Thru your teeth

In your bed

Sweat crack

Moon 

Now even chocolate is murdering us

Heavy metals

Poisons 

Coco’s not a go go

It doesn’t spread lips nor legs

It doesn’t put lead in our pencil

It puts lead in our bloodstream

(If Superman can’t see straight thru you

You’re fucked)

Every app is a slap

You’re a load of crap

Helpless, needy

Horny, greedy

We’ve got a robot

Who can fix you up

With another moron

With complementary delusions

Hatreds and confusions

Just twenty bucks a month

And you will be lonely no more

You’ll be lonely and trying


Happy Saint Valentine’s Day (belated)

You Made Your Bed


Fab fibber Congressman George Santos has “excused” himself from his two committee assignments with the help of House Speaker Nobody. Nobody said Santos stepping down from the Science, Space and Mythology panel and the Small Pecker Committee was “appropriate” until he worked things out.


Satire1 returns to our favorite corner in Charm City to record the voice of the people on the issue.


Father DeSade

“How could a politician lie? None of them has a clue. They don’t see problems. They see issues. Problems, sometimes, can be solved. Politicians can’t live without issues. You fix the problem you kill their issue. To politicians it’s like you’re killing them.”


Bobo

“Politicians are not trying to convince you of anything. They don’t have any solutions to sell. They’re just trying to get you to convince them that they’re special. Like they’re all running for prom queen.”  


Mack Shine, used car dealer

“Politicians don’t lie. If they could lie they’d be billionaires instead of being owned by billionaires.”


Mabel Mouth

“Never embellish”


Jack Natural

“How come we didn’t get any balloon? It balloons over Montana crosses the country and drops down to South Carolina. They don’t even have a baseball team. Either does Montana. I say, about time Baltimore got some balloon.”

No Household


The Constitution of the United States is very explicit that the Speaker of the House of Representatives need not be a member of the chamber. So the fire sale Kevin McCarthy made of his power to secure the position begs the question- why didn’t the Republican caucus consider drawing from a larger pool of talent?


Satire1 opened the question up to the public on the corner of Belvedere Avenue and Loch Raven Boulevard in Charm City: Since any citizen can be elected Speaker of the House who do you think the Republicans should have chosen?


Maga Hat

“Nancy Pelosi. The Republicans must elect Pelosi Speaker because hatred of her along with tax cuts and deregulation is really all that unites us anymore.” 


Too Much Mascara

“AOC is the one for me. She could be Speaker or better yet start her own reality show, The Real Bartenders of Queens or The Real Queens of Bartending.”


Snappy Pappy

“That would be a drag show. No, we need somebody who already has a good job like Governor DeSantis. He certainly wouldn’t allow a handful of Congressional District bitches push him around.” 


Hunting Boots

“Donald J. Trump. Trump can run the country from the House of Congress. Biden’s already turned the White House grey. “


Three Piece

“I’d nominate Bezos or one of the other trillionaires but they’re already looking to leave the Earth for greener planets.”


Buick Owner

“MTG. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, Insurrectionist Queen. If she and the lefties succeed in tearing America apart then everyone will see what color it bleeds.”


Red Red Shoes

Does the candidate have to be alive? We put a corpse in the White House two years ago. Didn’t like none of the living men. Abe. Abraham Lincoln. About time this country was ruled by a five dollar bill. Neither party has had a genuine new idea in five decades- six!


Happy New Year of the Water Rabbit

Don

“Of course I keep all my classified material in my garage.”

Don

“Leave it out in the garage where they can find it and be on their way.”


Joe

“Otherwise they’re using your bathroom.”

Joe

“How about those KGB guys plugging your plumbing?”


Don

“Vlad’s an okay guy but his guys eat way too many root vegetables. Nothing against potatoes and beets. I love the Irish and won the Catholic vote by a landslide.”


Joe

“Hey, I’m Catholic.”


Don

“And put baby murderers on the bench.”


Joe

“Well, at least I lost the Nazi vote.”


Don

“Some of them are real patriots.


Joe

“What about the Shaman guy with the horns?”


Don

“Opera lover. Won the Opera lovers vote by a landslide. Every Met performance is practically a Trump rally.”

“Have you ever even been to an opera?”

Pennsylvania Palookas


Democratic candidate for U.S. senator and recent stroke victim Lt. Governor John Fetterman has accused his Republican rival Dr. Mehmet Oz of not only having attended sporting events but of financially supporting sports clubs even after the dangers of many sports became public.


Dr. Oz categorically denies having recently participated, supported or even viewed competitive sports except in professional physician symposiums on the evils of athletics.


Fetterman went on the attack in their debate:

“Doctor Dorothy, have you or have you not stated that you watch the local news past the weather girl’s predictions? And since you have does that not leave us to assume that you are inhaling the scores and highlights of the very mob activities that pit one neighborhood against another, one school against another, one city against another- like the shameless, unAmerican battle going on right now between our City of Brotherly Love against our fellow Americans from the Lone Star State?


Doc O

“No physician who observes their sacred oath could ever condone, let alone support, athletics anymore.


Fetterman

“Authentic Brands Group which owns the pornographic rag Sports Illustrated has confirmed that you have had a subscription- not just an occasional purchase in a moment of weakness- but a yearly subscription to SI for decades.”


Doc O

“That was and is purely in response to demands from mostly my male patients many of whom suffer from sports and bikini fanaticism to have some placebo or Methadone like alternative to calm them down while staying in my waiting room.”


Fetterman

“You never read the magazine?”


Doc O

“Since I suffer no athletic addiction it makes no sense for me to indulge. Let me say here that what is taking place in Citizens Bank Park is the culmination of months of team violence that has eliminated so many young players leaving the spoils to just one athletic gang. This is exactly how other more recognized mobsters and drug gangs flourish. Going after each other with balls and bats, stealing bases, striking or throwing out each other for no other reason than their rivals wear different caps. No one is safe on the diamond of death and the only thing worse than the thugs on the field are the mindless mobs demanding their gang put in as many hits as possible and that the umpire be killed.”


Fetterman

“You’re an Eagles fan.”


Doc O

“I do respect and even venerate our national symbol, the bald eagle.”


Fetterman

“There exists un-doctored photographs of you and one Thomas Brady, the current Al Capone of the gridiron world.”


Doc O

“He had left the New England mob and I mistakenly assumed he was retiring and reforming himself. I had no way of knowing he would simply take over one of the drug ridden Florida mobs. I regret having ever spoken to the thug who obviously simply traded Sodom for Gomorrah.”


Fetterman

“Since we both have had youthful transgressions- premarital masturbation and college football- I’ll let that go.” 

 

Doc O

“I take full responsibility for playing safety for Harvard but not for the masturbation. I had no idea what was in my pants. I hadn’t graduated medical school yet. I thought I was just scratching an itch.”


Fetterman

“Thank god you didn’t become a urologist. As a cardiothoracic surgeon can you tell us if Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has a heart?”


Doc O

“Though I personally haven’t gotten under his shirt as yet I decline to opine. I don’t see what use he would have in owning such a sentimental organ in running the Senate. Why have you changed your position on fracking?”


Fetterman

“I didn’t change my position on fracking. I thought the reporter asked me what my position was on flatulence which is another closely related natural gas issue.”


Doc O

“And what is your position on flatulence?”


Fetterman

“Pass.”

FOCUS POCUS or Who Needs Horror Movies When You're In One?

 

Didn’t we just slink out of our longest war?

When only military families lived in wartime

Then Russia invades Ukraine

And gas, rent and bread explode here


Biden and Obama masks 

Terrorize red states

Trump and Putin scare blue

Only democracy lost the election


Shadows of coat hangers

Tales of infanticide and girls

Enslaved by pregnancy

Swirl over campfires


My wallet is shrinking

Like everything in my pants

Only my student debt

And waistline grows


My degree is just a receipt

So I work remotely

Sending out resumes

To the internet of trolls


Count Fentanyl is Dracula

Children turned zombie

After half a face

And no friends or school


Manmade or not

Accept our lot

Mother Nature and ourselves

Have turned cruel

Queen E



Drove a lorry during WW2

Olive green uniform

Already destined for the throne

Yet

Did her bit

And kept doing it

When the crown fell on her 

Head

Did her best to 

Respect

Her subjects

Honor

Their cultures

The goddamn woman

Just showed up

Listened politely

And witnessed

And at least acted

Like she owed her

Subjects

As much as they owed

Her


She was the richest woman

In the world

And she had the worst job

In the world

And I, for one, will

Miss her

August Dog 22


Finally, an answer to school shootings. Close the schools. Or does the Sun treat mental illness in a way that the Moon and cold can not? Lunacy. Guns are cold until fired. Madmen follow trends. Indiscriminate slaughter worked so well in Oklahoma back when. Why not in Buffalo now? Have things really changed that much? Where? How?


Pow Wow. Took care of native people with pow pow. Then infected blankets and fire water. Treaties broken B4 the ink was dry. Die Noble Savage die. Now their women disappear. Who takes them? And to where?


I don’t believe in global warming but I do believe the water that is rising over my head in the second floor of my old Kentucky home. And I don’t know how we can call them wildfires out west anymore. They’re just doing what all forest fires do these days. 


How can they call the House Committee Investigating the January 6th Riot a hearing when nobody’s listening? Or say that the price of gas is going down when its use is incinerating the planet? Or call mask mandates tyranny and abortion restrictions liberty?


People fear. People hate. Weather changes. People don’t. I get all that. People ask me are things really worse than before or does it just seem that way? Are we really being more honest with ourselves or, I suspect, just not buying the crap as much?
