Vetting a Poet Laureate
What if the U.S. poet laureate nominee was required to go through Senate confirmation hearings, like other Administration nominees? Brian McConnachie had a very funny audio piece on NPR yesterday which imagined just such a scenario.
"The NRA is not a federal agency."
"They told me they were, and they showed me badges and pay stubs."
"What did they want you to write about?"
"They wanted a poem about automatic assault weapons being misunderstood."

Kudos for the shout-out, Nathalie. Now I feel like this blog is getting somewhere.
