Saturday Morning Open Thread

Good morning everyone.

Check out the poem of the week, Home is so Sad by Philip Larkin. We're told "It's quiet, clever and intense." And, it is. This is another poem of few words, but much intensity. Writing on the blog has taught me the value of using fewer words to make the point. It's hard and takes true talent to do it well. The poet Philip Larkin does it. In the world of blogs, the master of that skill is Atrios.

Anyway, that's our little break from the rough and tumble world of politics. Thread away.
