Remember, remember the 5th of November

Will be a cool, damp night tonight. Just the thing for a back yard fire in the fire pit. Anyone else marking the occasion?

The Gunpowder Plot: Overview
by David Nash Ford

The Gunpowder Plot: Overview

Hurrah for our bonfire,
Oh, pile it up high,
For tonight...yes tonight...
When it blazes up bright
A traitor must die!
How he'll crackle and burn,
Our jolly old Guy!
In the middle we'll throw him,
No mercy we'll show him,
The traitor must die!
Go, old Ragamuffin,
Don't stop to ask why,
You know that the reason
Was Gunpowder Treason!
So, burn till you die!

("Old Guy Fawkes" from a 19th Century Calendar)

Maybe some investigative reporter (did they all retire?) should interview former domestic terrorist (and Obama adviser?) Bill Ayers and ask him what it was like when he set off all those bombs in corporate headquarters, Military recruitment centers and the Pentagon? The last bomb, according to credible information was intended for a Ft. Dix Soldiers dance before it went off prematurely and killed his girlfriend and three other comrades.
