Vulture disguised as poet! <<The reason they picked Hastert Is he never had a Bastert>> At least, have the decency to wait for Hughes's corpse to be cold before submitting your entry. My entry: "The reason they impeached the Bastert Is he used cigar as Ass-ert" December 21, 1998 With the death in October of Ted Hughes, the poet laureate since 1984, the position and the job description are now wide open. While some of Britain's higher-profile poets have removed their names from consideration with all the passion of teen-agers who think the student council is for nerdy teacher's pets, others are gently letting it be known that if appointed, they would serve. The job pays only about $165 a year, plus a case of Spanish sherry. It is meant to be a great honor, but is often considered faintly embarrassing. In the last 15 years it has required an unironic belief in the grave national importance of events like the wedding of the duke of York and Sarah Ferguson, also known as Fergie.
