Blue Jersey Friday Haiku

by: Jason Springer

Fri Feb 12, 2010 at 12:00:00 PM EST



If you're still digging out from the snow of the past week, maybe you want to take a break and take some time to rhyme. We can talk about states of emergency, both fiscal  and weather related. Or maybe you'd like to talk about the rush to gut COAH and take credit. Possibly you want to rhyme about Chris Mathews love for the "moderate" Scott Garrett.

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: Fiscal state of Emergency

State of emergency
Christie goes for power grab
Should we be surprised

Next topic: Scott "the moderate, you're not wacky" Garrett

Scott the moderate (0.00 / 0)

COAH"S Death (0.00 / 0)
F'ing poor gains points

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

Christie's martial law (0.00 / 0)
Christie says boo and
Progressives fall back in line
GSE be damned

Oh, rachael'sdaddy
Even your haiku topics

Next topic: Do progressives have a short attention-span? Or do they LOOK! A PONY!

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


[ Parent ]
Progressives need to regroup (0.00 / 0)
yesterdays causes
vanish in a snowy storm
we still hope for change

next topic:  what's up with global warming?


global warming (0.00 / 0)
A "controversy"?
Only if you don't like facts.
Ignorance ain't bliss.

next topic:Steve Sweeney

Scott Garrett - on the wrong side of, well, everything.

M. E. (0.00 / 0)

A powerful man
He should not be forgetful
or he loses power

Twelve hours later
Waiting for the next haiku
Guess nobody cares

Next Topic: Rush and Chris, sitting in a tree...


As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.

Sitting in the tree

They miss subtlety
