Who are all these folks
keeping the fungus ad aired?
Go buy fucking soap.

Been here for six years,
nearly. Yet I can't get you
to learn my real name.

was this opening

I don't blame you. You've been around the world on one stop. You simply deserve the best.

Just keep your glory,

bullshit promotion
who after all ever won
ghostface's old robe

found haikus regarding sasha frere-jones' and jessica hopper's accusations that recent experience music project pop conference keynote speaker stephen

merrit (of the magnetic fields) is a racist (or, an epic for annie, title included)

OMG Hopper
picks a senseless fight for no
reason WHAT A SHOCK

and therefore it is
THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE IN
ALL OF MUSIC CRIT

hopper's fatwas are
becoming a running gag,
but just not funny

sfj's blog i
still read I guess but who cares,
blog's a blog's a blog

and merritt is more
on panels than making songs
at this point it seems

why would slate run this
"article" about nothing,
by some who's-that guy?

I guess I just think
Merritt's been asking for this
with lists and statements

and Hopper's so quick
to give him YE OLDE SMACKDOWN
that it's just as weak

it's the perfect storm
of two people who should have
so much else to do

A mile high my oh my

my reply to you
Annie is simply take more
of that ipecac

Listen Jerks

how am i supposed
to get through a bizbot day
without your haikus?

found internet haikus about colbert's telling off the great decider at the w.h. press correspondents' dinner

wait so did he kill
or did he bomb? me confused
(and did not see it)

____

Colbert gave George Bush
an opportunity to
laugh along with him,

but Bush cannot face
any criticism (and
neither can his wife).

All he had to do
was go "Zing, you got me dude",
then it's all a joke --

Because he didn't,
it looked like a bloodbath, and
that's what he deserves.

____

being afraid of
an angry potentate is
kind of old-fashioned

____

it was colbert's win,
well, his and his writing staff's
(helen thomas too)

An insider to a secret

momentarily
don't tell anyone I am
possibly alarmed

i would like to dedicate this naughty librarian haiku to camp muncie '06
