Brevity is...wit

Hemingway wrote what he touted as the world's shortest short story:  "Baby shoes for sale; never used."  Since then, Wired magazine has periodically sponsored contests for others to match Hemingway.  A propos of nothing, the other day, I had an epiphany for a series of political pot-boilers, in six words each.  

So, without further ado, my publishing debut:

"Voted for Bush, twice. My bad."

And now, the sequel:

"Did penance.  Voted for Barack Obama."

[I hasten to add that the first is a work of fiction.  The second is based on the fictional premise of the first novel in the series, although the second sentence is autobiographical.]
