A Luminous Halo

"Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end." --Virginia Woolf

Bad Poetry: Attorney-Gate

This blog is starting to write itself! I've been offered another candidate for bad poetry, and it's Tuesday, so I'll post it. For those who don't keep up with the news (and shame on you), just enjoy the rhyme and meter. It's actually pretty good poetry, from housewife turned political pundit Carla Binion, commenting on an article by P. M. Carpenter called "All the Presidents' Stonewallers." (The article can be found at http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/6365):

Alberto Gonzales and Monica Goodling Clam Up To Further American Justice
By Carla Binion

We're Gonzales and Goodling. We're with Justice.
Though we've likely lied, you ought to trust us.
Law's our business. That's no myth,
Though Goodling plans to take the fifth.
Our fate won't be the same as Scooter's
In spite of those fired prosecutors.
If we just clam up, you'll never bust us,
And justice will fail, 'cause we're with Justice.
