From Toni Basil’s 1982 pop hit “Hey Mickey”:

Hey Mickey You’re So Fine

You’re So Fine You Blow my Mind

Hey Mickey

Hey Mickey.

2009 update:

“Hey Mackey, you’re a swine, you’re a swine, you blow my mind, Hey Mackey.”

“Oh Mackey what a pity, you don’t seem to care.”

“We’re not as rich as you, but we still need healthcare.”

“Oh Mackey you’re so greedy can’t you understand.”

“It’s guys like you Mackey”

“What you do, what you do Mackey”

“Don’t break my heart Mackey.”

[John Mackey being the now notorious Whole Foods CEO who inveighed against "ObamaCare" in WSJ.]

One of the organizers (a union rep) said the employees were the most excited – “they came from behind their counters and started clapping along with us.”

Words for Acts

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
