THE OLD CONTEST got very few responses. I am unloved. So we’ll skip directly to the new contest. (Apologies to both people who actually sent in entries…)

The new contest: Haiku! Send me haiku (5-7-5) on any topic that seems EveTushnet.com-like–politics, culture, whatnot. Shamed offers some examples:

Pro-clones hate Ramesh,

But won’t say when life begins:

Science uber-what?

Britney f***ing Spears,

Stop teasing dirty old men:

Do porn, already!

You’re Republican?

Even though you’re also black?

Conform, man, conform!

Andrew Sullivan,

Great writer and editor,

Should not act in tights.

Bush versus Reno:

All of Florida will vote,

I smell a recount.

Having too much fun!

Need to stop and do some work,

So, only one more.

Get a phone, Tushnet!

Seriously, get a phone

So that we can call.
