A YankoBoop for the Ages: The Self-Control Senator
Because Some Things Demand a Country-Rock Opera Treatment
Came across this review
of Josh Hawley's latest literary adventure.
To be supah clear, please do **NOT** go huntin’ down any Hawley books outside of this particular piece of satire. No need to feed the Bezos machine or anyone else's book sales. Instead, check out this other brilliant piece over at
This guy’s Substack that made me snort coffee through my nose. And if the owner is at all annoyed that I have so cross-posted, please let me know and I will take down immediately. Intended only as positive promotion.
The piece was so perfectly absurdity-booped that it demanded the full YankoBoop treatment.

It's like a Russian nesting doll of masculine insecurity, each layer more absurd than the last. Or something.

Some masculinity may have been bruised in the making of this YankoBoop.
The Self-Control Senator
Josh went down to Congress, he was looking for a seat to steal He was in a bind, his book sales behind, and desperate to make a deal When he came across a camera, filming insurrectionists with flair He pumped his fist up in the air, then later ran with true despair Fire in the Senate, chaos in the House Josh is writing memoirs 'bout his teenage woes "Strong man, strong man," that's his favorite phrase But his book reads like a diary from his awkward phase He writes about temptation with a strange fixation indeed Fifteen chapters detailing struggles that no voter asked to read He's sharing TMI while building his brand For a presidential run that no one really can stand Now Josh, just take a seat and maybe write about policy Instead of your personal journey of biblical apology Your book's supposed to show your leadership worth But it's giving us all TMI overload and endless mirth He claims he's fighting Big Tech while posting tweets all day And rails against "weak men" while running away Says masculinity's in crisis, America needs his guide But his literary oversharing makes us want to run and hide Fire in the Senate, chaos in the House Josh is writing memoirs 'bout his teenage woes "Strong man, strong man," that's his favorite phrase But his book reads like a diary from his awkward phase (Yes his book reads like a diary from his awkward phase!)
