Blow Not A Word Away

As you know, President Barack Obama delivered an historic speech on Tuesday night outlining his administration's plans for a national response to the economic apocalypse.

According to the New York Times searchable interactive video and transcript, he used the word "education" 14 times, but the word "art" did not come out of his mouth. The words "arts", "culture", "humanities" and "creativity" also yielded no search results. He did use the word "innovation" twice. He also included the word "teacher" three times.

Wonkette has posted a video of President Barack Obama embracing arch conservative and NEA basher Tom Coburn.

Hurts.

Julia

O hateful hands, to tear such loving words!
Injurious wasps, to feed on such sweet honey
And kill the bees that yield it with your stings!
I'll kiss each several paper for amends.
Look, here is writ 'kind Julia.' Unkind Julia!
As in revenge of thy ingratitude,
I throw thy name against the bruising stones,
Trampling contemptuously on thy disdain.
And here is writ 'love-wounded Proteus.'
Poor wounded name! my bosom as a bed
Shall lodge thee till thy wound be thoroughly heal'd;
And thus I search it with a sovereign kiss.
But twice or thrice was 'Proteus' written down.
Be calm, good wind, blow not a word away
Till I have found each letter in the letter,
Except mine own name: that some whirlwind bear
Unto a ragged fearful-hanging rock
And throw it thence into the raging sea!
Lo, here in one line is his name twice writ,
'Poor forlorn Proteus, passionate Proteus,
To the sweet Julia:' that I'll tear away.
And yet I will not, sith so prettily
He couples it to his complaining names.
Thus will I fold them one on another:
Now kiss, embrace, contend, do what you will.
