春蛙秋蟬 media chatter

春 (spring) 蛙 (frog) 秋 (autumn) 蟬 (cicada)

An anagram of Obama-Biden happens to be "nabob media".

There's a Vice President we think of when we hear the words nabob and media together. Aided by William Safire, Spiro Agnew also derided the press as "hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history".

Judging by the fervor emanating from the Denver Democratic convention, it seems likely team Obama will make it after all.

春蛙秋蟬 will happily continue, no matter what.

Chorus:
Nattering nabobs of negativism.
Prattling peons of positivism.
