I hear you

This early morning I’m catching up with Mark Brown, who appears on the web as Brillig01, and his blog Cuddle Ugly, an allusion to one of my all-time favorite poems, Kissing the Ugly, which he has recently republished online.
His mission statement, from Poetry & The Struggle to be Heard:

You want me to put rhinestones WHERE?

Forget the Bedazzler.  Your t-shirt isn’t the only thing that can be improved by the addition of sequins and gems.  Clearly you’ve been neglectful if your pubis has not reached its full potential;  dressed up like a disco ball.

If your webpage could sing in the shower

Run Sarah, run

An open letter from Leonard Pitts Jr. to Sarah Palin:
Dear Sarah Palin:
I hear you’re pondering a run for the White House in 2012. Last week, you told Fox News it would be “absurd” to rule it out.
I’m writing to ask that you rule it in. I very badly want you to run for – and [...]

Diagnosing history
