* Note: the above haiku is my response to the murder of Rob and Michele Reiner this past week, and the Idiot-in-Chief's response to it. There are not many things that surprise me anymore, but even I felt that this was beyond the pale. And if you get the ''All in the Family'' reference, great. If not, look it up here!

-K.D.

Too accurate.
