Limerick Writing Contest (With Money Prizes) At My Other Blog

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

If you’re not a regular reader of my other non-political humor blog, you’ve probably missed my spring limerick contest announcement.

Based on the comments some of you post here, I know some of you like writing limericks. And if you visit here regularly, you surely must enjoy reading them. (Either that, or you’re a masochist.)

I hope you’ll consider checking out and perhaps even entering my spring limerick contest. There’s even a financial inducement — prize money for the top two submissions! [tags]Spring Limerick Contest[/tags]

Jenna Bush, Author? (Updated re Today Show Gig)

Friday, January 19th, 2007

In a move sure to aggravate unagented (and poorly agented) authors, Jenna Bush has scored a high-powered literary agent — Robert Barnett. So, what’s the subject of Jenna’s masterpiece? Barnett has been shopping her “young-adult book based on the former grade school teacher’s experiences with charity causes in Latin America” to New York publishers. Oh, goody! (Via PoliticalWire)

Jenna Bush, Author?
By Madeleine Begun Kane

A Bush twin (not Barb, but the other)
Is shopping a kid’s book. Oh, brother!
Can Jenna Bush write?
Do her verbal skills bite?
Let us hope she takes after her mother.

Update 9/31/09: Incoherent quote of the day from Jenna Bush Hager, talking about her new gig as a Today Show correspondent:

It wasn’t something I’d always dreamed to do. But I think one of the most important things in life is to be open-minded and to be open-minded for change.

Let’s hope somebody else writes her scripts.
