"Tories beat Labor in Britain's elections Thursday, however the lack of a majority could result in what Britain calls a hung Parliament. It made their cousins wistful on this side of the pond. If Americans could hang congressmen, the U.S. income tax would be celebrating its two hundred twentieth anniversary of never being introduced."

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised 'for the good of its victims' may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

Perhaps I should say, for the benefit of the listening NSA, I in no way, shape or fashion, actually believe in hanging members of Congress (well maybe a couple of them), so please don't come kicking in my door in the night and carting me off to Gitmo. And please stop the black helicopter overflights as they frighten the dog, and me too for that matter.

Perhaps he was referring to the Vietnamese gentleman wot lived down the lane, except his name is spelled 'Huong'. It is my understanding that Huong, as he hung up his coat, slipped, catching his neck in the loose belt. As a result he was hanged.
