North Dakota's Don Quixotes
Why Senator Dorgan won't be missed

How much is the departure
    of a prairie populist,
Who favored windmills over oil wells,
    likely to be missed?

North Dakota's Don Quixotes
    represent so many fewer
Voters than the windmills loved
    by any Martha's Vineyard viewer

That Obama doesn't share the
    Democratic consternation
That Dodd and Dorgan bailing out's
    a major complication.

North Dakota's small enough
    that ev'ry voter can be bought
With loans supplied by BofA
    at int'rest rates they'll like a lot –

All with funds that Tim's approved
    for keeping BofA afloat
As long as North Dakota's debtors don't
    rock the Democratic boat.

Mandatory health insurance
    for which the rest of us must pay?
Mandatory Don Quixote
    votes to rescue BofA…
