They're on to us. The habit of putting links on the left are one
of the few perks that lefties like me enjoy.
Our sinister cabal has worked long and hard to get these perks
accepted by the dextrous mainstream, but it seems that we have a
traitor in our midst. One of you here tonight is a traitor. One
of you can't be trusted.
What's that noise? Quick, to the secret passages! They'll never
take us alive ...

"But for just one time, I would take a Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea,
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage,
And make a Northwest Passage to the sea."
