- Sons and daughters of Thebes, behold: this was Dennis Kucinich, greatest of men. Behold, what a full tide of misfortune has swept over his head: "The Nevada Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that MSNBC is not required to include [Kucinich] in its scheduled Democratic presidential debate."
- In Xan-Vegas did Heidi Fleiss/ A stately pleasure-dome decree/ Where Sex, the profane river, ran/ Through caverns measureless to man/ Down to a dried-out sea.
