Here’s what Washington Times<\/em> columnist John McCaslin had to say about Politickles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For several years now, Inside the Beltway has published thought-provoking political limericks penned by “F.R. Duplantier.” Readers, at the same time, often inquired of the limerist’s background — some long suspecting this columnist was behind the verse beneath the nom de plume “Duplantier.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, to be so talented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what other people are saying about Politickles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend — and, honey, these Politickles aren’t glass. They are real gems!” — Jane Russell<\/strong>, actress<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Politickles are a never-ending delight. They are guaranteed to make you chuckle.” — Phyllis Schlafly<\/strong>, pres., Eagle Forum<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Combine H.L. Mencken with Ogden Nash and you’ve got F.R. Duplantier. If you like sharp satire and loony limericks, you’ll love Politickles.” — Alan Gottlieb<\/strong>, Chairman, Talk America Radio Network<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I wouldn’t think of publishing an issue of ‘eco-logic online’ without the latest Politickle.” — Henry Lamb<\/strong>, chairman, Sovereignty International<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how Duplantier recalls the genesis of Politickles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Back in the summer of 1991, I began accepting assignments to write newspaper articles for Phyllis Schlafly’s Education Reporter<\/em>. As I learned more and more about the preposterous programs and policies to which public school students all across America were being subjected, I realized that the journalistic expose was insufficient to capture their absurdity and that satire was what was called for.
