"casey at the bat" it ain't

once in a generation, a public figure unleashes a bolt of creative brilliance that leaves a nation staggered.

okay, twice, if we're counting john ashcroft's stirring anthem, "let the eagle soar" (and we are).

ladies and gentlemen, i give you the poetry of donald rumsfeld.

Happenings

You're going to be told lots of things.
You get told things every day that don't happen.

It doesn't seem to bother people, they don't—
It's printed in the press.
The world thinks all these things happen.
They never happened.

Everyone's so eager to get the story
Before in fact the story's there
That the world is constantly being fed
Things that haven't happened.

All I can tell you is,
It hasn't happened.
It's going to happen.

I definitely like the cat pictures and the
yard picture more than this "poetry".
