Ode to Austin’s Hair
His hair was brown like black
Coffee, not black but brown,
Brown like the color of his hair.
It was long, like Jesus’ hair,
The way Western artists
Envision Jesus’ hair, long and brown,
With curly ends like curly fries
From Arby’s. Delicious.
His hair was parted like the Red Sea,
Only Moses didn’t part it – a comb did,
And it was brown, and hair, not water.
Stories grew around the hair
As the hair itself grew very long,
Past the shoulders that, unlike Samson’s,
Stayed strong even after the hair was gone.
And now that the hair is gone,
All that’s left are the stories,
And a little bit of hair, still brown,
But much, much shorter.
Well said, Beau.
This reminds me: 
out of this world

The general election is off to an inauspicious start.
We are already lost in the weeds of the inconsequential.

When you consider the gravity of the real issues, the minor ones drift away like the seeds of a dandelion.

Romney’s communications director on CNN this morning
Host: Is there a concern that Santorum and Gingrich might force [Gov. Romney] to tack so far to the right it would hurt him with moderate voters in the general election?
Eric Fehrnstrom: Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It’s almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all of over again.
Pinterest: The Depths We Will Go To Not Read
"We’ve come to expect these things from the Muslim world. We expect Afghans to riot for days and kill Americans and each other because a few NATO soldiers were stupid enough to burn copies of the Koran along with other objects discarded from a prison outside Kabul. Yes, those soldiers were colossally, destructively insensitive… Still, can we have a little outrage at the outrage? Can we reaffirm that human lives are more sacred than books?… America needs [an absolute separation of religion and state] so that our Presidents’ religious views remain their own private affairs, and Rick Santorum and his party can’t impose dominion of one narrow, sectarian, Bible-based idea of the public good over a vast, pluralist, heterodox, freedom-loving democracy."
