Happy Guy Fawkes Day!

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

A good day to ponder our government (364 days til election), society, and culture. Remember Jefferson: “The tree of liberty is nourised by the blood of tyrants.”

A holiday which produced one of my favorite movies, and not just because of Natalie Portman, in all her vernal glory.


Bonfires tonight!

  1. You know he was voted by the British people the 30th Greatest Briton of all Time…and I never thought about it before – but I can only hope he is the namesake of Dumbledore’s Phoenix.

  2. I think that’s a safe presumption. I’d never thought of it either.I wish I was a Briton (except for the rain).

  3. You need to ride with Hosking more. He is Anglocentric to the extreme.I need to see that movie. Matrix cred and Natalie Portman. What more do you need.
