Two Heads Testifying
They met with the panel, these high-ranking men.
Bush the President and Cheney, with the smirk of a grin.
They haggled for months about this event.
Finally to a meeting they would consent.
We’ll come they said but only both at once.
I guess two heads are better than a dunce.
We aren’t under oath; there’ll be no recorders
We are the President and those are the orders!

Thursday News & Poetry Bits
Flying Saucer Fever Grips Iran - but no Cup sightings reported. Of course this leads me to the poem by Charles Bukowski - aliens
Bush and Cheney testify before the 9-11 panel today. Likely conclusion... Two heads are not necessarily better than one. Speaking of which here.

Just a few Bits....
Yes, it is still poetry month, but...
Poetry In a Malicious Worm - Who would have thought?
Pitcher with touch of a poet Ok, I'm going to have to start reading both his stats and his work.
MIT Grad Finds Poetry in Mother's Schizophrenia
I found this interesting news bit: Nobel laureate warns on anti-Semitism This struck me as interesting at the same time I see reports AP reports: Police gunned down machete-wielding militants who stormed security outposts in Thailand's Muslim-dominated south Wednesday, killing at least 112 people in one of the bloodiest days in the Southeast Asian kingdom.
And the it also reports: It was one of the heaviest battles with the militia as U.S. troops try to increase the pressure on gunmen loyal to cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. There is a lot of hatred amassed around religious diversity these days. I realize there is a lot of religion that people cling to for purposes that don't seem to meet the fundamental principals of the religious core beliefs. There is such hate and misunderstanding that emanates from all this. **stepping off my soap box**

Reading & Submissions Make for Busy Three days
Since Saturday, I've been a bit busy with poetry. Saturday I got two poems for the Missouri State Poetry Society Anthology. Sunday, there was the Northland Writers group meeting at Maple Woods College, I also successfully got off three poems for the Telling Tree Anthology. And then yesterday ( Monday ) there was a reading at the Writers Place.
I read four poems last night. Cerebral Cobwebs, To Emily and Her Friends, Outsiders and Train Ride. There was a good contingency from the Northland Writers - who have adoptied me since I don't live in the Northland but clear over on the edge of hell. Why they tolerate me I'm not sure. I think they don't get out much ** smile**
There were some very strong readings last night and some of us will do it again on Wednesday night at the Barnes & Nobel in Northland. The busy times have been great though. Hey, it keeps me out of trouble.
I even got home last night early enough to catch the last couple innings of w west cost game between my SF Giants and the Braves. The Giants have been hurting this season **sigh** but they pulled off a 3-2 win last night! Yeah!
