is a waterside entrance to the Tower of London. Prisoners who'd done crimes to the Crown, thus "traitors" were brought through this gate and into their new prison homes.
Traitor's Gate is a 3D Game
Traitor's Gate is referred to in "Man Out of Time" from my favourite Elvis Costello album, Imperial Bedroom.
Man Out of Time <<So this is where he came to hide When he ran from you In a private detective's overcoat And dirty dead man's shoes
The pretty things of Knightsbridge Lying for a minister of state Is a far cry from the nod and wink Here at Traitor's Gate
'Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down And he listens for the footsteps that would follow him around
To murder my love is a crime But will you still love A man out of time
There's a tuppeny hapenny millionaire Looking for a fourpenny one With a tight grip on the short hairs Of the public imagination
But for his private wife and kids somehow Real life becomes a rumour Days of dutch courage Just three French letters and a German sense of humour
He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge He stands to be insulted and he pays for the privilege
(chorus)
The biggest wheels of industry Retire sharp and short And the after dinner overtures Are nothing but an after thought Somebody's creeping in the kitchen There's a reputation to be made Whose nerves are always on a knife's edge Who's up late polishing the blade
Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morning
the suffix "gate" has entered our national conciousness and I don't think it's going away any time soon. Look what it did for Nixon! But I do think that it sort of cheapens Watergate if every scandal is referred to as "(blank)gate"; ie, "Monicagate". I sure do hope that Bush 2 doesn't supplant Reagan as the "teflon president". I hope this sticks!
but what I really want is someone in the fucking media to earn their megabucks. WHY was it important for the ambassador's wife to be outed? Because her husband had information that proved that Bush's SOTUA was crap. That is a central point.
It was wrong info and people were misled to support Bush* into war. Hundreds of soldiers and thousands of Iraqis died because Bush lied.
Bush* Co then plays dirty pool to punish the transgressor. That act is illegal. He ignores requests for info until the major media picks up on it.
The whole package should be clear for any hack journalist - the entire Bush (mis)administration is rotten to the fucking core and is a cancer on democracy and the very life of this nation. If you area journalist and are not connecting the links then you are complicant in this treason.
God help me -I won't rest until I see Rove in an orange jump suite along with Ken Lay and Jeffrey Skilling. WTF is wrong with this planet that these people are getting away with all of this!?!?! If Arnold wins here in CA I honest to God will have to... I don't know, I just don't know.
