100 days in seven haikus

Via Democracy in America, from the editor of More Intelligent Life:
In 100 days
A super-majority.
What next? A hushed Rush?

Seventy percent
Of Americans dig him
The dog didn't hurt.

As long as his foes
Hold lame "tea-party" protests
The force is with him.

A plump government
Is grand if it means cheap meds,
Not water-boarding.

Such ambition! Well,
Roosevelt would be impressed
If not Kim Jong Il.

It is a fine thing
To have a smart president
Whose sentences work.

A fine amuse bouche
For what promises to be
A grand, filling meal.
Seems I need to continue working on my effete librulness, for I didn't know about amuse bouches.

Let's just say my idea of a pre-meal snack is more pedestrian. Why not order a few packs? It's $0.37 a stick, half the price of brick and mortar stores.
