It's of course the 400th anniversary of the big
fizzle--is anyone going to witness the re-enactment of
Robin Catesby's ride from London to Ashby St. Legers?
Will there be extra bonfires? I'm feeling
extra-anti-clerical myself at the moment since if
Dubya's Supreme pick is confirmed there will be a vote
of 5 old Catholic men on the Court to reverse Roe v.
Wade. Of course their Catholicism is probably
irrelevant compared to their rightwingism.
