A nice, brisk fall day to have an event in DC, and I gather that a large number of GOP leaders made it to the podium to speak at Michelle Bachman's big tea party.  It's also the day reserved in the UK to celebrate Guy Fawkes' ill-fated attempt to blow up Parliament to get rid of the ruling party of his day. 

So, I'm wondering.  Was the day chosen purposefully, to adopt the mantle of an obscure sometimes folk hero for their anti-government movement?  If so, isn't that a kind of questionable PR move?  And if not, isn't that kind of an unfortunate PR oversight?
