    Loads of politics going on here in Colorado! Governor and Senate races are going on. The media are getting rich with all the ads! You got it right, Bridget!

      Thanks, Linda! If only election season was shorter, but the end is in sight...Nov 4th! = )

      LOL, Catherine! Yes, poached eggs would be perfect for certain politicians! = )

    Oh man, I'm so sick of the attack ads already! In Florida, our corrupt and very wealthy governor appears to be buying the election yet again. Hoping he ends up with egg on his face, but I just don't know.

      That's awful, Michelle! Some (most) politicians are scary individuals. Hopefully truth and ethics will prevail. = )

    No yolk, indeed, or too much. A golden-fried offering, Bridget!

      Thanks, Heidi! I like the idea of golden-fried as opposed to egg in my eye. = )

    I thought there would be egg-throwing before I clicked over. Glad to see that the eggs are sunny side up, even though politics can be so grim.

      Thanks, Mary Lee! Yes, I always try to see the "sunny side" of life, even if it's a bit jaundiced. = )

    Sigh -- true that. Hey -- this senryu might make a good "Golden Shovel" poem.

      Thanks, Laura, sigh indeed. BTW I'm not familiar with a "Golden Shovel" poem - what's that?
