Prime Time

In order to affect a timely halt to deterioriating conditions, and to ensure the common good, a state of emergency is declared for these territories by decree of Lord Cutler Beckett, duly appointed representative of His Majesty, the King. By decree, according to martial law, the following statutes are temporarily amended: Right to assembly, suspended. Right to habeas corpus, suspended. Right to legal counsel, suspended. Right to verdict by a jury of peers, suspended. By decree, all persons found guilty of piracy, or aiding a person convicted of piracy, or associating with a person convicted of piracy, shall be sentenced to hang by the neck until dead.

Later-

If you can stay up for it, tonight is a pivotal episode of Ghost in the Shell.  TV Listings calls it ‘Endless Gig’, Wikipedia ‘Return to Patriotism’.  I call it ‘Sacrifice of the Tachikomas’.

  1. Yo, ho, haul together,

    hoist the colors high.

    Heave ho,

    thieves and beggars,

    never shall we die.

    The king and his men

    stole the queen from her bed

    and bound her in her Bones.

    The seas be ours

    and by the powers

    where we will we’ll roam.

    Yo, ho, haul together,

    hoist the colors high.

    Heave ho, thieves and beggars,

    never shall we die.

    Some men have died

    and some are alive

    and others sail on the sea

    – with the keys to the cage…

    and the Devil to pay

    we lay to Fiddler’s Green!

    The bell has been raised

    from it’s watery grave…

    Do you hear it’s sepulchral tone?

    We are a call to all,

    pay head the squall

    and turn your sail toward home!

    Yo, ho, haul together,

    hoist the colors high.

    Heave ho, thieves and beggars,

    never shall we die.

  2. At dawn, we are at war.
