| ...the entire article (by the great Alexandra Petri) is a parody lyric to "Getting Married Today." Seth, whose small issues with scansion do not make his adore it any less |

| Petri definitely scores points for degree of difficulty, but I wonder how many Washington Post readers ''got it.'' I wonder if she ever considered a better-known tune, like ''Once in Love With Amy.'' |

| I would think the ratio of Post readers who "got it" would be roughly similar to the ratio of NY Times readers who would have "got it." DC is a very Sondheim savvy town. | |

| It's clever enough, but since Amy Klobuchar had a very good day a song about panic doesn't seem right. Being Alive would have been more apt! | |

| Damn you Seth, you forced me to look up the definition of "scansion". | |
