If you treat a map as a sequence it will yield the vectors you are handling 
explicitly:
(map identity {:a [1 2 3] :b [4 5 6]}) => ([:a [1 2 3]] [:b [4 5 6]])

So it might be more convenient to pass in a map and do something like this:
(defn d-map [m]
  (apply concat
         (map (fn [[key val-list]]
                (map (fn [val] [key val])
                     val-list))
              m)))

(d-map {:headline ["this" "is" "me"]
        :points [1 2 3]
        :comments [10 20 30]})
([:headline "this"] [:headline "is"] [:headline "me"] [:points 1] [:points 2] 
[:points 3] [:comments 10] [:comments 20] [:comments 30])


Have all good days,
