00:00:00.570 --> 00:00:04.080 align:middle line:84%
This is a poem that I
started writing about my cat,

00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:08.550 align:middle line:84%
and then somehow it ended
up being about journalists

00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:09.600 align:middle line:90%
in the Iraq war.

00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:12.900 align:middle line:84%
I don't know how
that happened but--

00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:14.250 align:middle line:90%
Thing.

00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:20.680 align:middle line:84%
We love our cat for herself
regard is assiduous and bland,

00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:24.540 align:middle line:84%
for she sits in the small
patch of sun on our rug

00:00:24.540 --> 00:00:28.020 align:middle line:84%
and licks her claws
from all angles.

00:00:28.020 --> 00:00:32.790 align:middle line:84%
And it is far superior
to balanced reporting,

00:00:32.790 --> 00:00:38.600 align:middle line:84%
though, of course, it is
also the very same thing.

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.000 align:middle line:90%
