Why? Because I spend too much time reading about politics I might as well do something with it. I do not want to crowd this blog (which is supposed to be focus on my literary thingies) with political talk.
The blog with post links to news items and sum them up in a brief and hopefully poetic and/or humorous way.
Unlike this blog, Three Line Punditry will be updated on a very regular basis. Several times a day.
A sample:
* Sarah Palin, the 44-year-old second-year governor of Alaska, claimed dinosaurs and man walked the earth together 6,000 years ago, which is 65 million years less than scientists claim.
My inspiration comes from a book I've been reading, Novels in Three Lines by Felix Feneon. Apparently in Europe very short summaries of random news events (kind of like a police blotter) are common. Feneon wrote some for awhile, but made them very beautiful, funny and sad.
Well that and Fark/The Onion/Daily Show type headlines which I sometimes write.
Anyways, this is just for fun but if you enjoy it please feel free to bookmark.
