Liberal Poetry

Instead of rendering a comprehensive opinion about "Deciding the Next Decider," by Calvin Trillin, I'll list the pros and cons.

Pros:
- It leans liberal
- It rhymes
- It's pretty funny
- It's educational (!)
- It's a pretty accurate representation of the election

Cons:
- Many of the songs are set to fairly unknown melodies (well, unknown to me at least)
- Sometimes the diction was unclear because specific words had to be used to fit the rhyme scheme
- Sometimes it was a bit boring
- Many times you have to have extensive background information to pick up on the allusions

Favorite Quote:
"Mitt Romney's Song:
Yes, Mitt's so slick of speech and slick of garb, he
Reminds us all of Ken, of Ken and Barbie -
So quick to shed his moderate regalia,
He may, like Ken, be lacking genitalia."
