:: Sly Fawkes ::

Wednesday, November 05, 2003

Today is Guy Fawkes day! Celebrate by burning something in effigy.

I will burn a little doll bearing a unmistakable resemblance to Boss Tweed. I will sit in my darkened cellar and gloat at his fall. I will revel at justice served. But secretly, I will wish it was I who crassly plundered the city and state to satisfy the avarice of Tammany Hall.

Only then will tears flow down my face, tiny rivulets of proud shame, and shameful pride.

As I watched the fireworks over Wellington bay last evening I was complety unaware of the irony of the whole event before me. The brief explanation I recieved left out the crucial facts that Guy Fawkes was in on the attempted disaster and that it involved powder kegs...or maybe I was just too drunk to remember.
