Foley, the July 10 briefing, Abramoff, the NIE -- this couldn't have been what Karl wanted. He promised his base something in October.
On that theme, I offer a haiku below the fold -- a little frivolity, for your dead-of-night reading pleasure.
Feel free to add your own in comments.
Wikipedia summarizes the conventions of the modern English-language haiku thusly:
Due to the various views and practices today, it is impossible to single out any current style or format or subject matter as definitive "haiku". Nonetheless, some of the more common practices in English are:
Use of three (or fewer) lines of no more than 17 syllables in total;
Use of metrical feet rather than syllables. A haiku then becomes three lines of 2, 3, and 2 metrical feet, with a pause after the second or fifth;
Use of a caesura to implicitly contrast and compare two events or situations.
Of course, I ignored these rules, for the most part, so feel free to experiment.
He said it would come.
October leaks like a sieve.
Guess what, Karl? Surprise!
