Checking my "What Would Bartlet Do" xTwitter account, I saw this Bill Maher "New Rule," and was immediately prompted to respond with this quote from my favorite poem, Coleridge's "Fears in Solitude." Here's a wonderful reading from Classic Poetry Aloud. www.podomatic.com/podcasts/cla...
This is a screenshot of my Coleridge-quote response to a Bill Maher tweet: "Oh! blasphemous! the Book of Life is made A superstitious instrument, on which We gabble o'er the oaths we mean to break." Maher's tweet was a link to a video of his New Rule segment, with text saying, "The Supreme Court has to decide if they are going to be democracy's last line of defense or if the Constitution is now just like the Bible." This is a screenshot of Classic Poetry Aloud's webpage for a reading of Coleridge's poem, "Fears in Solitude."
