I PLEDGE MALFEASANCE

If the center will not hold,
then what about the fringe?
If the periphery’s gone mad,
is it any wonder that I cringe?

If the election has been rigged,
should I fix myself a drink?
If we’re out of leaves and figs,
why not let the kitchen sink?

If the world has gone to hell,
am I missing something grand?
If the jackboots are so swell,
why can’t I listen to the band?

If the rule of law is nigh,
why do I moan and groan and sigh?
If der Furor is on deck,
will we survive the last shipwreck?

While we have you…

… we have a small favor to ask. More and more people are reading the Humor Times, but advertising revenues for internet sites everywhere keep falling. And unlike so many other websites, we have not put up a paywall -- we want to keep this much-loved (and much-needed!) political humor free, if possible!

So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Humor Times' unique content takes a lot of time and effort to produce... but we do it because we believe uncompromising political satire is more important than ever these days.

If everyone who reads and likes our website helps fund it, we can continue to help people laugh at the news, rather than cry about it! For as little as $2, you can support the Humor Times – and it only takes a minute. Thank you!

(Note: While this link will take you to a PayPal page, you have the option of using your credit card without joining PayPal. All amounts in USD.)

Or, please consider becoming a Sustaining Supporter via our Patreon Page, contributing a certain amount each month. You can do it for as long or as short a time as you like. It's a huge help with our monthly budget!

And/or, subscribe to the monthly Humor Times magazine! Subscriptions make great gifts!
