Haiku 0002 by Tony Medina

More of a Washington State commentary than a national one:

G O P is what
Republicans hide from past
Electorate fooled

Thanks Tony!

Starbucks Cards for Election Haikus

Starting today, October 17, I am awarding a $5 Starbucks card to the best election related haiku each day until the election. On election day, the winning entry each day will be up for the big prize, to be voted on by the visitors to this blog.

Entries will be judged on entertainment value, poignancy (if applicable) and originality. Make us laugh. Make us cry. Make us vote for your guy- or gal.

Haikus due at 1:00 PM each day, winners announced EOB each day.

Good luck everyone, and let's have fun!
