There are days when The Daily Show can't come on soon enough. Especially days when the Vice President has just shot somebody.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall.

ha I was watching the evening news yesterday when they announced the birdshot incident. The dog and pony show continues...
Hey Paul, don't mean to be a stalker or anything, but I googled you for some of your poems and found this site. I am an MFA student at UA and I did my undergrad there as well, and I remember seeing you around. I just want to say that I absolutely love, love your poetry, and it gives me a lump in my throat, which is what happens when I read good poetry. Its so beautiful, open, and it tastes wonderful. You are one of my favorite poets. I can't wait for your next book.
Hey there, Kwoya. Thanks for the note and the kind words. How is Tuscaloosa?
What no one is addressing here is poor Dick ruined his safety record.
My favorite part was the public apology : Dear Mr. Vice President, I'm sorry you shot me in the face and neck. I caused you a lot of trouble. You have yourself a nice day.
