Remember, remember, the Fifth of November

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
Today we celebrate the election of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America.

The Fifth of November is also the day that folks in the United Kingdom celebrate Guy Fawkes Night, in memory of the man who led a failed attempt to blow up the English Houses of Parliament on this day in 1605.

It has been said that Guy Fawkes was "the only man ever to enter Parliament with honorable intentions."  Four hundred years later, President Barack Obama may prove to be the second.
