Do read, the article is pricelessly funny.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Good thing the DHS didn't just dispatch a drone.

Great, now I've got the image in my brain of Bloomberg's private army making passes with a P-3 and dropping sonobuoys.

Always remember, for some people the war is NEVER over.  [ar15]
I shall not die alone, alone, but kin to all the powers,
As merry as the ancient sun and fighting like the flowers.

I'm sure that I will come up with a good pun for this eventually ...

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

I tried to laugh.  But now I'm just sad.

Hey Bloomberg!

Make your depth 3' and prepare to snorkel!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams
