Patriomagnetism

Just in time for the 229th birthday of our nation, my blog pal Vestal Vespa has an item about a magnetic poetry kit with an "America" theme. See her comments here.

Vestal Vespa: What do ya know . . .

My take: Who the heck needs some sort of magnetic poetry kit to make patriotic phrases. Didn't Francis Scott Key and John Philip Sousa already do that? How about let;s try reading some real American poetry from Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, even Abraham Lincoln? We Americans did just fine before magnetizing our words of patriotism.
