Scorn Not the 43 Percent Poll

I like to paraphrase poetry and song lyrics, and last evening some of that was happening in the discussion on “The pumped-up Republicans continue in their ‘Obama is finished’ delusion.” But now Matt, writing in the same thread, has provided, not a paraphrase of a single line, but a parody of an entire Wordsworth sonnet, “Scorn Not the Sonnet,” which expands on the theme being discussed.

Meanwhile, another entry, “What Obama and the Democratic Party support,” has turned into an extended discussion of the movie, V for Vendetta. To all appearances it is a radical leftist movie. But reader Andrew E. argues that it is inadvertently presenting a non-liberal theme. Other readers disagree.
