Tell the King to Back Off and Let Humpty Pick Himself Up Thu Oct 6

Jon Sanders

The riddle of the ill-fated Humpty Dumpty was solved long ago (he's an egg). Now it's just a nonsense rhyme we tell our children. In that sense it'd be on par with government stimulus and jobs bills, if they could be condensed to four lines and aa-bb stanzas. ... more
