While living in the Washington, DC area in the early 1980s (and being involved in the start-up of USA Today), I took a broader interest in our national political system and how it works (or fails to work, depending on your observation). I returned to Indiana in 1991 and bought a small local community newspaper. Since the political season began in August 2015, I began writing these daily poetic satires about our political process. I humbly submit this first compilation of poems, written as the primaries began and continuing right up until the election. I hope you enjoy my tongue-in-cheek utterances as much as I’ve enjoyed writing them. And I look forward to sharing more political poetry by RKO with you as our nation welcomes a new administration into the Oval Office (whoever it may be!). Enjoy—and please share this political neophyte’s views with your friends and neighbors. Who knows what kind of deliberations it might incite over an ice-cold beer, a smooth red wine, or a raucous rum and cola! Cheers!view less
