In the city of Baldwins and Fleiss
Democrat rivals played nice!
After Hillary’s reach
At the president’s speech
Debate fans had hoped for more spice

Edwards dropped out of the race.
Rudy left, too, saving face.
He sanctioned McCain
Who may be in pain
Since meeting Schwarzenegger’s embrace

China is covered in snow
The worst since five decades ago
Working all year to earn
One hometown return
Migrants may spend Lunar New Year in woe

LOST has returned to TV
Solid answers or more mystery?
Under threat of concussion
Please keep your discussion
Far from poor souls who missed it, like me

as reported in The New York Times

TWO DIE UNDER THE ICE.
While Skating Minister’s Daughter and Youthful Fiance Sink Into Airhole.
February 1, 1908
BEAVER FALLS, Penn., Jan. 31. — Locked in each other’s arms, Miss Zella Wylie, aged 19, daughter of the Rev. R.C. Wylie, pastor of the First Reformed Presbyterian Church of Wilkinsburg, Penn., and R.C. Patterson, aged 21, of Greensburg, went down to death, under the ice on the Beaver River this afternoon.

One clue whose answer consists of two rhyming words:

Where is that cold air coming from? Is it wafting from that beer you poured from the keg? I’m gonna have to get a jacket if you don’t do something about that…

Everything abstract is ultimately part of the concrete. Everything inanimate finally serves the living. That is why every activity dealing in abstraction stands in ultimate service to a living whole.
