Listing (As In A Ship Sinking)

Saturday, October 1st, 2005

I’m being lazy this morning. As I scounge for inspiration among the progressive blog-o-cube, I find (once again) that others have spoken much better than I. In light of this, I present to you a list gleaned from my readings, stripped of context, arranged to create a kind of tone-poem of political discontent.
Nods to After Dowing Street.

Rising heating bills and gas prices.
Shrinking health care coverage.
Sinking approval ratings.
Denial.

China owning America’s debts.
Permanent bases in Iraq.
Camp Casey.
Quagmire.

Storm damage and wildfires.
Political contribution indictments.
Hiding the dead.
Cronyism.

Jobs fleeing overseas.
Pensions evaporating.
Alcoholism.
Lies.
