		<description><![CDATA[A haiku epic about Rush Limbaugh and Barack Obama.

Clear course, now the fight/
Deeper into blue water/
Big O sets a line/


Rush to his judgment/
Chief bully bites ego bait/
His words weigh him down/


On deck a calm O/
Ego sharks thrashing deeper/
Tide rise lifts blue wave/


Dittoheads cry cry/
Rally round champion mouth/
All anchor, no boat/

McCain on taxes is a tease
Cindy&#8217;s cash bought him life&#8217;s ease
He thinks you&#8217;re dumber
&#8220;She&#8217;s like a plumber!&#8221;
Don&#8217;t touch her riches &#8211; please?!
