The obvious poem of the day...

[elfs]

In honor of the political protests going on in Washington D.C., complete with John Boehner not knowing his Declaration of Independence from his Constitution to the United States of America (didn't he watch History Rock like the rest of us?) and the protestors arrested for littering outside Nancy Pelosi's office, this seems the perfect poem to honor Representative Michelle Bachmann's (R-Minnesota) assault on Congress:

Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot ;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'Twas his intent.
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below.
Poor old England to overthrow.
By God's providence he was catch'd,
With a dark lantern and burning match.

Have I mentioned how much I miss Helen Chenowith? There was a fabulous sex scandal to go with all that insane posturing.

I watched Boner(not misspelled) quote the wrong damned document and laughed my ass off. But there's a large number of people in that crowd who I'd stick on FBI watch lists until Obama leaves office in 2016.*

*Yeah, I think he'll make it.
