Ah. Alcohol alone seemed unlikely.

Pirates
With Cat-Like Tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
No sound at all
We never speak a word
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard

Police:
Tarantara, Tarantara.

Pirates:
So stealthily the pirate creeps
While all the household soundly sleeps

Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let's vary piracy
With a little burglary

Samuel:
Here's your crowbar
And your centre bit
Your life preserver
You may want to hit

Your silent matches
Your dark lantern seize
Take your file
And your skeletonic keys

Police:
Tarantara,
Pirates:
With Cat like tread
Police:
Tarantara
Pirates:
In silence dread

Pirates
With Cat-Like Tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel
No sound at all
We never speak a word
A fly's foot-fall
Would be distinctly heard

Come friends, who plough the sea
Truce to navigation
Take another station
Let's vary piracy
With a little burglary

With cat like tread
Upon our prey we steal
In silence dread
Our cautious way we feel

Fox News host wants 'South Park' investigated for blasphemy - The Clicker

In the wake of news reports about the anti-Islam film "Innocence of Muslims," a Fox News host has decided that a bigger and more professionally made production, "South Park," should come under fire.

Comedy Central

Cartman of "South Park" has no respect for any religion. Unless it's food.

Todd Starnes, host of "FOX News & Commentary" and author of "Dispatches from Bitter America," spoke on a panel about "Religious Hostility in America" at the Values Voter Summit in Washington this past weekend, and Cartman and friends were on his mind.

"We have seen the administration come out and say, 'We condemn anyone who denigrates religious faith.' And they come out in regards to this anti-Muslim film," Starnes said. "Well, that's well and good, but my question is: When has the administration condemned the anti-Christian films that are coming out of Hollywood? Where are the federal investigations into shows like 'South Park,' which has denigrated all faiths? Where is the outrage when people of the Christian faith are subjected to this humiliation that is coming out of Hollywood?"

And I wasted 4 minutes of my life on a conspiracy site suggesting cover ups....gah !!

Commentary: Earth's attic is on fire

To me, seeing the record Arctic sea ice loss of 2012 is like discovering a growing fire burning in Earth's attic. It is an emergency that requires immediate urgent attention. If you remove an area of sea ice 43% the size of the Contiguous U.S. from the ocean, it is guaranteed to have a significant impact on weather and climate. The extra heat and moisture added to the atmosphere as a result of all that open water over the pole may already be altering jet stream patterns in fall and winter, bringing an increase in extreme weather events. This year's record sea ice loss also contributed to an unprecedented melting event in Greenland. Continued sea ice loss will further increase melting from Greenland, contributing to sea level rise and storm surge damages. Global warming doubters tell us to pay attention to Earth's basement--the Antarctic--pointing out (incorrectly) that there is no fire burning there. But shouldn't we be paying attention to the steadily growing fire in our attic? The house all of humanity lives on is on fire. The fire is certain to spread, since we've ignored it for too long. It is capable of becoming a raging fire that will burn down our house, crippling civilization, unless we take swift and urgent action to combat it.

Conservative Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell was forced to deny allegations he called police "plebs" and "morons" during the argument.

According to The Sun, he swore at the officer after he was stopped from leaving through the famous gates on his bicycle.

The paper quoted Mr Mitchell, 56, as saying: "Open this gate, I'm the Chief Whip. I'm telling you - I'm the Chief Whip and I'm coming through these gates."
