Haiku Thursday

To all of Baxter's fans, he will be back after we return from our trip up to the Adirondacks this weekend. In the meantime, here is a quick roundup of some of the news - in haiku form!

Tax Day has now passed...
The "tea parties" are over
What a bunch of jerks.

True hypocrisy
To be protesting spending
Now that Bush is gone.

If you missed it all
Jon Stewart summarized it
Go check out the link.

Fox News can spin it
But this movement's not grass roots
It's right-wing sponsored.

It's pretty funny
They call themselves "teabaggers"
What were they thinking?

But there's crazy talk
It's not a laughing matter
There's danger afoot.

On to lighter news,
Obama keeps pleasing me
With his good ideas.

Our new president
Is a fan of high speed trains.
I think it's just great.

In beautiful France
Their high-speed trains go so far
In such a short time.

If I had my choice
Of an airplane or a train
I would take the train.

You can bring your dog
And maybe even your cat
Without a worry.

Not all is perfect
Obama's got some issues
We need to address.

In Afghanistan
Some prisoners are denied
Habeas Corpus.

Colbert rips him a new one
Hope he was watching.
