Saturday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

For a respite from the news, check out the poem of the week, The Long Boat, by Stanely Kunitz, who was the poet lauereate of the United States back in 2000.

For a different take on the new, check out a haiku from KarenMrsLloydRichards, which pretty much summed up the week:

Tea-baggers dream of
1773:
Muskets, wenches, slaves . . .

Have at it...
