"In the room the women come and go, talking of Michelangelo" 


ImpeachBush.org placed this full-page ad in the the July 16th New York Times. They're set to run the same ad in the Boston Globe on account of the Democratic National Convention next week. Brilliant! I honestly cannot think of a better idea.

And now, from an unrelated poem I've loved since college, courtesy of T.S. Eliot:

"Do I dare eat a peach? – The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

I grow old … I grow old …
   
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.


Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?

I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.


I do not think that they will sing to me.
       

I have seen them riding seaward on the waves

Combing the white hair of the waves blown back

When the wind blows the water white and black.


We have lingered in the chambers of the sea

By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
 
Till human voices wake us, and we drown."
