TIGER, tiger, burning bright
have you lost your sight?
In the forests of the night,
was there no light?
What immortal hand or eye
seriously, why?
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
how many more lies?
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
or thighs?
On what wings dare he aspire?
you are going to need a new tire
What the hand dare seize the fire?
its all over the wire
And what shoulder and what art
really, really wasn't smart
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
one more family torn apart
And when thy heart began to beat,
what made you cheat?
What dread hand and what dread feet?
every party girl you did meet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
twas the golf club that caused the pain
In what furnace was thy brain?
Cheat on Elin are you insane?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
No one will forget this for years
And water'd heaven with their tears,
you better start drinking beers
Did He smile His work to see?
You are no longer free
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
A monogamous married man you will be
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
you have lost the fight
In the forests of the night,
someday she'll forgive you, she just might
What immortal hand or eye
travel alone when you fly
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

I heart Huckabee?
Gotta feel for Huckabee, his presidential bid is over. Perhaps one of the strongest candidates for the Republicans in the next round is going to have a really difficult time selling the traditional "republicans are tough on crime". Giving clemency to Clemmons turned out to be a bad idea, but how could he know this guy was gonna be a cop killa?
This is were it gets strange - because you cant really blame Huckabee. Clemmons appeal for clemency was a document full of words of a changed man, a man you found Jesus and God, a person who realized he hung with the wrong crowd and made mistakes in his youth. After all, Clemmons was only 17 when he got charged with a series of burglaries and bringing a weapon to school. His rap sheet didn't imply that he knew how to use it.
You can picture the situation. Huckabee sitting in his office surrounding by his favourite bible thumping neo-con advisors with a pile of papers to sign. Clemmons appeal comes up, he sees the officers recommendation for clemency and realizes he just has to add a signature to release this guy who has found god.
Huckabee, regardless of his asinine politics, backwards thinking and just plain ignorance, will be remembered as the guy who released the criminal who killed the cops and not the guy who fried squirrels in the popcorn popper.
"When we were in college we used to take a popcorn popper -- because that was the only thing they would let us have in the dorms -- and fry squirrels in the popcorn popper." Mike Huckabee
