If You Tire Of The Heavy Seriousness Of American Politics,

why not have a gander at how our friends across the pond are doing it.

Wonderfully wry, and witty, author Judith O'Reilly makes politics a pleasure.

Regardless of your political leanings, you won't regret it.

Election Year       
by Donald Revell

A jet of mere phantom
Is a brook, as the land around
Turns rocky and hollow.
Those airplane sounds
Are the drowning of bicyclists.
Leaping, a bridesmaid leaps.
You asked for my autobiography.
Imagine the greeny clicking sound
Of hummingbirds in a dry wood,
And there you’d have it. Other birds
Pour over the walls now.
I'd never suspected: every day,
Although the nation is done for,
I find new flowers.
