Headline Poet Laureate of America: So subtle as to be almost unnoticed, Matt Drudge has become one of our leading headline-stack poets. Working in blank verse to obscure the fact of the deep wellsprings of poetry in his soul, Drudge cannot completely hide his mastery of the headline stack. This morning's sestet demonstrates how poetry can still used in the cause of the people.
Robert Frost sit down. It's Pulitzer time.

Now that pretty much says it all.
I reckon this ain't gonna end so well.
I was actually working on the very same post (great minds think alike!) when the Drudge page refreshed and the headline stack you grabbed disappeared, to be replaced by the Copenhagen snow line.
In the main page there is this headline: "Obama signs $1.1 trillion spending bill...."
and then there was, in the left column, a headline about how Obama says that runaway spending has to be stopped, but it's been replaced, too.
A riot of juxtapositions.

For your recognition of poetry in refresh rate motion, you gets a Peace Prize.
