I liked V for Vendetta, but what I find funny is that many people don't realize that the instigators of the real gunpowder plot were actually plotting the overthrow of the British government because they wanted to replace it with a Catholic theocracy. That's hardly something many people would want today, least of all the people who seem to be Guy Fawkes fans.

James I needed killing.

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I see no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's 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!

Barack Obama for President.

You are supporting Barack Obama while remembering Guy Fawkes. Remind me again how the two are related?


Oh, nevermind. You're one of those that actually believes Obama is different than the other politicians. Good luck with that.

Obviously Obama will blow up Parliament, ending George Clinton's reign of terror once and for all.

You can't stop the Atomic Dog that easily!
