Blue Jersey Friday Haiku

by: Jason Springer

Fri Aug 21, 2009 at 12:15:00 PM EDT



If you were hoping for a quiet August, Chris Christie has made sure that wouldn't happen.  He's dominated the news, but we've also had jobs, healthcare and energy making headlines.

There's plenty to work with for this week's Friday installment of daily politics in verse.  Rules are simple: You compose a haiku (5 syllables, then 7, then 5) on the topic the last poster suggests. Then you get to set the next topic.

First topic: The loan

Christie gave a loan
he said just an oversight
he's heard that before

Next topic: 40th anniversary of Woodstock

Woodstock (4.00 / 1)
#1
Half a million strong!
If you remember Woodstock
You were not there, dude.

#2
Woodstock nation thrives
What is the result you ask?
Barrack Obama

#3
Nineteen sixty nine!
Woodstock ! The Mets! Neil Armstrong!
And now, my back aches.

Next topic: 13,000 new jobs



13,000 new jobs (0.00 / 0)
Awkward for Christie.
Can't root against more job gains.
But now what to say?

Next topic: Christie replacement?


[ Parent ]
Christie replacement (0.00 / 0)
Out for ethics problem
Lonegan takes ballot spot
Mulshine gets last laugh.

Topic: Getting a mortage from your boss

Frank LoBiondo Record and Jon Runyan Watch


[ Parent ]
Getting a mortgage from your boss (4.00 / 2)
No one has done this.
It is insane, no one would.
What's that? You're kidding.

Next Topic: Jersey Corn


Jersey Corn (0.00 / 0)
Fire up the grill then
Small white kernels in the husk
And I'll need a beer

Next topic: Lurkers

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.
