\u2013Traditional English nursery rhyme<\/p>\n

November 5 is Guy Fawkes Day, the day that the English remember one of their most notorious villains or one of their most celebrated heroes, depending on their mood.<\/p>\n

On this day in 1605 Fawkes, a disgruntled English Catholic rebel, attempted to take down the entire English government\u2014king, ministers, parliament and all\u2014by blowing up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament.<\/p>\n

Fawkes was discovered and promptly executed, but he is remembered\u2014in typically dry English humor\u2014as the last man to enter parliament with\u00a0honest intentions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we approach a U.S. presidential election with two very unappealing candidates, pour yourself a drink and offer a toast across the Atlantic.<\/p>\n
