I couldn’t agree with the cartoon’s depiction more Chris.  This thing is getting uglier and uglier, specifically with the three areas you highlight.

As Dems self destruct
Doors to the White House swing wide
To welcome McCain.

Haiku or a limerick.

Davenot is funny.

The seventeen sounds of a Japanese haiku carry less information than would seventeen syllables. Consequently, writing seventeen syllables in English typically produces a poem that is significantly “longer” than a traditional Japanese haiku. As a result, the great majority of literary haiku writers in English write their poems using about ten to fourteen syllables, with no formal pattern.

Just so ya know… and they usually have a season involved.. like spring.. and relate to nature.

flowers opening
politics of spring
soon wither
