Happy Guy Fawkes Day

As I've noted before, Guy Fawkes Day is a special day for Lawfare readers as it is the only holiday, at least to my knowledge, devoted to the failure of non-state actors to destroy symbols of state power---and to take state leaders with them. Alas, no bonfires or fireworks displays planned for DC that I know of, but I did order this mask (though Lawfare's Amazon sidebar widget, of course) in celebration. "The Only Man Ever to Enter Parliament With Honest Intentions" is not just for Anonymous any more.
