## Description

Adds some random subversive words in a widget in your sidebar that’s designed to
create more work for our friends in illegal government domestic surveillance.

This plugin is inspired by the old M-X spook program that comes with Emacs.

Code is flagrantly borrowed from the original Hello Dolly plugin. I also borrowed
a spook.lines file from http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom7/spook/ because it had a huge
number of subversive words in it.

## FAQ

#### Won’t this get me in trouble with three-letter agencies?

Maybe. They’re not telling.

#### Isn’t the NSA smart enough to filter out Meta-Press Spook’s keyword spamming with their data-mining systems?

Probably. But they’re not telling. Just smile and wave at the nice NSA agent!
