To say I’m disappointed in Obama so far is an understatement. I list my complaints, in no particular order, as follows: inability to adequately fill cabinet; silence on the black and white morality of the Blagojevich scandals; and, of course, a completely uninspiring non-response to the economic crisis. Force the banks to acknowledge their holdings are worthless. Geithner’s pathetic “we have a plan to come up with a plan” speech was anathema to a solution.
So I turn to e.e. cummings and wry political satire that is timelessly tuned into the human psyche. I have a feeling that trying to recreate this type on WordPress is going to fail, but here goes anyway.

Ahem.
“Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained thoughts found
The honey peace in old poems.”
Yes.
Will poetry forever be your solace, Remi?
