Belina leaves; a haiku contest breaks out

I'm sure we've all heard the news.

I can't say that I'm all that upset. The political scene in Canada always seemed that much worse when she was there--from curiously-timed floor-crossing to dog comments (yes, Peter said it, I think, but so what?)

There have been some funny comments about this (especially this one at Cherniak's site) but I most like RumbleStrip's idea of a haiku contest, even though he doesn't quite get the "haiku" part right. Brian Lemon sets him straight, though.

My entry:

Politics will not
Be the same without you there.
This is a good thing.
