Shakespeare Anagram: The Merchant of Venice
From The Merchant of Venice:
Go with me to a notary, seal me there
Your single bond; and, in a merry sport,
If you repay me not on such a day,
In such a place, such sum or sums as are
Express’d in the condition, let the forfeit
Be nominated for an equal pound
Of your fair flesh, to be cut off and taken
In what part of your body pleaseth me.
Shift around the letters, and it becomes:
Obama’s Cardholder’s Bill of Rights may hamper undue predatory lending.
It won’t cap interest rates, but may end each hidden fee or a funny (or unfunny!) practice to rake your income.
And less opaque info may open the noose of those who offer money at usurious rates.
But it’s still a hoax. Pay them off.

And coincidentally, today’s Sunday Washington Post magazine crossword puzzle featured the anagram clue at 79 across: “Ah, I speak a swell rime”

Welcome, Mike! That’s a pretty cool anagram of “William Shakespeare.” I don’t think I’ve seen that one before.
It’s not really that much of a coincidence, though, as I generally post a Shakespeare anagram every Saturday. I just didn’t blog very much in February or April, so that fact might not be so evident to a newer reader.
Thanks for the heads-up!
