House Republicans (Fighting with One Hand Behind Their Backs?)
In honor of the House Republicans’ refusal to agree to sign on to the Senate bill that will extend (i) payroll tax cuts and (ii) unemployment benefits, a few haiku:
“When I pledged no tax
raises, I didn’t mean…um…
for working people.”
“It’s the uncertain-
ty I hate, you know, all that
damn uncertainty. “
“I’m worried about
the working man. Can’t you see
how worried I am?”
And here’s one with a reference to Shakespeare:
Sound, fury, tales told,
idiots. “Job creators?”
Mumbo-jumbo? Hmmm…
I don’t like to be so political, but the current situation is just maddening.
I am linking this to the Sensational Haiku Wednesday (though the theme is spirit!)

You are lucky not to have to be familiar. It is quite a mess right now. K.
