Bernie and Birthdays
My dad doesn't often haiku, but when he does, it is memorable. Here was his from last Friday:
I am a pirate
My crew are my family
Birthday fantasy.
[This refers to an actual event, his Eightieth birthday party up at Osler Island, where the theme was "Aye, Matey!" Get it? "I'm Eighty?"]
In other news, I had a piece in the Waco Trib yesterday about the primaries. My original headline was "Bernie Sanders is Not a Sign of the Apocalypse," but they didn't use that. Probably best not to joke about the apocalypse in Waco, I guess. Anyways, you can see that here. And here is the political cartoon they ran with it:
