READ THIS, ROMNEY

I've just rec'd this e-mail from my son Alex (51, PhD Columbia/Urban Anthropology):

Dear Bill,

Actually, something has come up in terms of unexpected costs. I just spent about $400 for extra copies of textbooks to put on reserve in the library for students in my classes who can't afford to buy the book themselves. I'm also spending about $100 on photocopying for my larger-than-expected classes. I won't get reimbursed for these costs. I could use an investment or loan of $500 to get me going this semester. Do you think you can swing that?

Thanks,

Love, 

Alex

Journalism rises
from the wastland 
of mere transcription

suddenly asking questions 
not merely transcribing

RoboRyan's caught unprepared,
his baby-blue eyes blinking
until his lie-gears engage.

what we deserve

WHAT WE DESERVE

“What do we deserve?

What makes us Great!

We're here to tell you

we can have it all again!

We only have to shout:
We are The Greatest!”

Romney pauses, empty,

doubtless, shouting:

'What do we deserve?

What makes us Great!

We are The Greatest!”
