That's very dirty, Dana. That's hilarious.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Did anyone else know that W. H. Auden wrote a seriously dirty poem about giving a blowjob
Wow. That really is dirty. I mean REALLY.
Although I admit I really love the first 2 lines:
It was a spring day, a day for a lay, when the air
Smelled like a locker-room, a day to blow or get blown;

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That's very dirty, Dana. That's hilarious.
It's totally hilarious. There are lines that are just fabulous, and then there are lines that read like bad fanfic and make me giggle.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I just read an article about Auden. When he was in America, he lived a few blocks away from where I live: [link]

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
So, last night at dinner, Li'l Sphere got a faraway look on his face and proceeded to let loose an epic, two-full-minute burst of gas. In the stunned silence following the blessed event, he looked at his mother and said, as innocent as a 3-yr-old, "That was my butt! My butt is talking!"
At that point, his mom cracked up, but I was trying hard not to laugh, what with my parents coming to visit next weekend and the decline of polite society and God and the Bible and all. Anyway, she managed to ask him, "What did your butt say?"
He said, with his sweetest smile on his face, "It says, 'I love you, Mommy!'"

Ann, that's a ferret.
The thing that strikes me about Susan's quote is the conflation of the Continental Congress/Declaration of Independence and the Constitutional Convention/Constitution.
And while there may be some arguments that "tyranny" wasn't an inappropriate word, those arguments would relate more to taxes imposed by a Parliament to which the colonists couldn't send representatives and the actions of a King who, unlike his recent predecessors, actually tried to be a political power in his own right. In other words, increased responsibility without increased power, not so much religion.
