Ain't It Cool News - View Article: "*
The first “Smallville” scripted by Drew Greenberg is slated to turn up a week from Wednesday. "
I still haven't watched last weeks Smallville...
I tape it now since it's on before Angel and I'm always making music on Wednesday nights...
I wish I remembered which eps of "Buffy" Greenberg wrote.
Guess I'll have to look that up.

The Missouri Review:
"Dear Mr. G.W. Bush / Re: Your recent submission"
Brilliant...
Bush's poem has been rejected...
"We first observe this ambiguity in the third line of the poem: 'Oh my, lump in the bed.' The placement of the comma forces the reader to hesitate. In the context of the opening couplet ('Roses are red/Violets are blue'), we expect the comma to follow the interjection—as follows: 'Oh, my lump in the bed,/How I've missed you.' Note how this would allow the lines to fit the traditional rhythm of a 'rose poem.' Had the line been punctuated in this manner, we might be able to read 'my' as a possessive adjective, the speaker laying claim to (or reclaiming) his lover, which would be in keeping with the dramatic situation. But given the punctuation and awkward placement of the comma, we must ask, does this instability in the phrase signal instability in the relationship? His lover recently returned from the arms of another, is the speaker himself uncertain now of his claim to her love? Or does it indicate a healthy obsession with the morning salute of a 'little Commander-in-Chief' (as one staff member suggested)?"
