About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

Fox News Poll
Our local TV station Fox 29 ran this poll for tonight’s 10:30 Newscast.
“Is the Health Care Bill a milestone or a mistake?”
Two options were given: 1. Yes 2. No
An either or question cannot have a yes or no answer. Our WdC members do much better with their polls.
So, I e-mailed them. Probably other people did, too. Maybe they saw the mistake themselves.
As of the last twenty minutes or so, after the newscast, they changed the options to:
1. milestone 2. mistake
I think the Fox people are so upset with the results that they can’t think straight.
Anyone can make duh! mistake, for sure, but doesn’t the media have a self-check system?
