BlackHat's Journal: Chicken understand and they pick out the code

Rush,Tiger,A'nold,Leak, and Syria wall continues. Cheney's sock drawer and half dozen other good ones including David Kelly and David Kay drifting off the view. But there are a few things of note today. After a bit more of Paine, ranting and trolling his way into the dustbin of history...

Quote:
A government of our own is our natural right: And when a man seriously reflects on the precariousness of human affairs, he will become convinced, that it is infinitely wiser and safer, to form a constitution of our own in a cool deliberate manner, while we have it in our power, than to trust such an interesting event to time and chance. If we omit it now, some, Massanello may hereafter arise, who laying hold of popular disquietudes, may collect together the desperate and discontented, and by assuming to themselves the powers of government, may sweep away the liberties of the continent like a deluge. Should the government of America return again into the hands of Britain, the tottering situation of things, will be a temptation for some desperate adventurer to try his fortune; and in such a case, what relief can Britain give? Ere she could hear the news, the fatal business might be done; and ourselves suffering like the wretched Britons under the oppression of the Conqueror. Ye that oppose independance now, ye know not what ye do; ye are opening a door to eternal tyranny, by keeping vacant the seat of government. There are thousands, and tens of thousands, who would think it glorious to expel from the continent, that barbarous and hellish power, which hath stirred up the Indians and Negroes to destroy us, the cruelty hath a double guilt, it is dealing brutally by us, and treacherously by them.

To talk of friendship with those in whom our reason forbids us to have faith, and our affections wounded through a thousand pores instruct us to detest, is madness and folly. Every day wears out the little remains of kindred between us and them, and can there be any reason to hope, that as the relationship expires, the affection will increase, or that we shall agree better, when we have ten times more and greater concerns to quarrel over than ever? --Thomas Paine

News:
NZ gets cluephone call from Canada. Canada's experience is; If we increase crop yields USA increases tariffs. So why bother with additional; high-costs, seed-contamination and hybrid-contamination issues at all?

Ink on paper/thick lines : Under a caption at the top of "A spector haunts a Texian" GWB and Laura in bedroom with the ghost of David Kelly, chains and all, lifting up the sheets in the center. With "Eek!" and "Yikes!" bubbles from George and Laura. Several bubbles come from David's ghost. They have him singing a repeating line marked with ragged notes; "Is this lump outta my head?/I think so!". Bottom caption; "Happy Halloween, 2003."
