Ike the Communist


Return with me now to those
thrilling days of yesteryear...

Hey! O-Man trumps genial
Kansan in being Red, Moslem,

& born in Ragtop-Land. T-
riple fuckin header! ...when

from out of the past comes
the thundering wingnuts.

We know they can thunder. Reason
Town Halls fabricated. But how

fast can they truly spin? Is
there a university study?

Can’t trust, of course, since
they’re all Communists too.

Rocco Meets His Teabagger


ROCCO
Dr Onofrio, Literary Scholar of Defunct American Fascist Writers!
And, of course, present Teabagger--unless I miss my guess.

DR O
Right on, Rocco! Democrats, aka Socialists, tilting the table of money
towards the stinking rabble.

ROCCO
Blacks, you mean. Group you hate the most.

DR O
I hate everybody!

ROCCO
That’s literary. You learned that attitude slogging through your PhD at Penn
with the other malcontents and drama queens.

DR O
No! Literally true. I literally hate...!

ROCCO
Uh huh? How about getting real and ranking your top three groups for me?

DR O
Be glad to. First is blacks, of course. Oh, excuse me, Afro-Americans!
Must be politically correct, the low gear of our pretend democracy.

ROCCO
And the second?

DR O
Can’t you guess? “Oy Marvin! Did yuh ever see such a kikey place
as Atlantic City? I love it! But keep the Rabbi away from the whores!”

ROCCO
Predictable so far.

DR O
The third would be ghinnies, best represent by you, Rocco, all heart if it’s somebody else’s money. And all mouth in any case.

ROCCO
Last time I saw your mom and dad shopping at The Italian Market,
they didn’t quite resemble white-bread Americans from The Main Line.

DR O
I disown them! They’re ghinnies all the way through. Plastic-covered furniture
and a goat in the backyard!

ROCCO
Please call again.

DR O
Try and stop me!

ROCCO
They always come back!–but whatever for?


In Rocco’s S Philadelphia, a child often returns with disdain.

Rocco and Nam Nick


NAM NICK
The Republican lunatic-birthers, tea baggers and queer-haters are shrieking down speakers at Town Hall Meetings.

ROCCO
Their right, no?

NAM NICK
I don’t know about that. World would profit by their loss.

ROCCO
Speaking of which, they lost most elections in near memory. They’re sore
sore sore! And will be for a good long time.

NAM NICK
It’s The Republican Sore Losers’ Club!

ROCCO
Yeah, but they still have the Constitutional right to bellyache whether
you like it or not.

NAM NICK
They should be locked up as dangerous nuts! Like the way they should’ve
locked up Hitler and thrown away the key!

ROCCO
Uh huh? And how about you freaks back when? Shouting down
the speakers defending the war? If they locked up all you crazies,
we’d still be in Vietnam.

NAM NICK
I screamed at the war pigs because I couldn’t stand hearing any more
of their murderous lies! Anyway, that was for a good! What good are these...?

ROCCO
More they defuse their fury in politics, more their wives stay alive.


S Philly's Rocco usually leans a bit left in dialog.

To Tea Baggers

Hey you’re pissed!
You lost. Get over it!
as your ilk reminded me

in gleeful humor for
8 years of illegitimacy

1st foisted by a botulistic
court. But, couldn’t quite

find fiscal outrage under Bush,
could you? Grandkids not
being bankrupted then?

At any rate, can’t fathom, really,
why GOP even ran, having left
almost nothing to plunder.
