Turning Over a New Leaf

Is Jihad Joe Albero, Southwest Delaware's Most Notorious CyberTerrorist is proclaiming that he is going all George HW Bush ("kinder, gentler").

I doubt it. He's played this game before.

One is reminded of the fable of the scorpion and the frog:

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion  says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of  paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"

"It's what I do," said the scorpion.

Keep that in mind, folks.
