Guy Fawkes Day

In honor of Guy Fawkes Day I went to the Capitol to protest the healthcare bill today.
My Peeps on the Mall paying Nancy a visit

Met a bunch of awesome Texans.
Talked with some truckers that reminded me of my dad.
Taught some fellow Midwesterners to use the metro.
Clapped a lot.
Yelled a lot more.
Cheered on the few politicians that are actually listening.
Fawned over Mike Pence.
Fawned even more over Jon Voight.
Made some new friends.
And then went back to work.

Okay, so it wasn't nearly as exciting as the Gunpowder Treason Plot.

But Pelosi and her gang are committing treason against the Constitution and instead of blowing anything up to show our displeasure we chose to invade their offices and let them hear us instead.

And now, a Guy Fawkes Day poem:

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

Holloa boys, Holloa boys, let the bells ring
Holloa boys, Holloa boys, God save the King!

Hip hip Hoorah !
Hip hip Hoorah !

A penny loaf to feed ol'Pope,
A farthing cheese to choke him.
A pint of beer to rinse it down,
A faggot of sticks to burn him.
Burn him in a tub of tar,'
Burn him like a blazing star.
Burn his body from his head,
Then we'll say: ol'Pope is dead.

I hope today's showing on the Mall will be enough to kill the Bill.
