You know what I forgot about today that I just recalled a minute ago? It's another important date:
Remember, remember the Fifth Of November:
Gunpowder, treason and plot--
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Sorry, everybody in British places and soforth where Guy Fawkes' Day is celebrated; we got a little caught up here in our own political whoohah. Interesting contrast, though, isn't it? You're celebrating the triumph of justice over a murdering madman, and we're celebrating the right of the people to make their choice publically known.
Party on, everybody. Penny for the Guy?
