And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

That's a big fish, and there's about to be a big stink. Where are California's grizzly bears when you need them?
Scientists from the Marin Mammal Center and California Academy of Sciences identified the whale as a sub-adult female. The scientists will return Saturday to perform a full necropsy, having taken preliminary skin tissue and blubber samples Friday morning.
Fluke markings on the carcass helped scientists identify the cetacean in the Cascadia Research database. This particular creature was first spotted off the coast of California in 1999 and has been seen at least 11 times since then.
So, does it have a name, like Sylvia, or Hortense, or is it just some cold scientific deal like Whale A-79?

According to the Marine Mammal Center, about 2,800 blue whales live off the California Coast and are visible in the summer and fall. In 42 years, the center has responded to eight cases of washed-up blue whales, including a 65-foot blue whale that appeared on Daly City's Westmoor Beach in October.
