In defiance of King George, Happy Magna Carta Day: Lift one high for Habeas Corpus

[Jack Rabbit]

The Writ of Habeas Corpus was born on this day in 1215 in Runnymeade Meadow, England.


From AskHistory

Now that's worth celebrating.

[DavidDvorkin]

1. And the irony is that King John

For all his faults, was a far better man than Georgie.

[Jack Rabbit]

3. It said of King John

. . . that he left instructions to be buried in disguise so that the Devil would not recognize him.

[DavidDvorkin]

8. Apocryphal, surely

He must have known how superior he was to his idiot jock brother, at the least.

[BlooInBloo]

14. Lowest bar ever set in the history of bar-setting.

[Jack Rabbit]

2. Strike a blow for the Great Writ

10. K & R for one of civilization's great cornerstones

The Free World, remember? That place to which we no longer really belong.

Sigh. It is hard, having been bon in freedom and likely to die in tyranny. A hard pill to swallow for a proud people such as all of us Loyal Americans.

And the Loyal Bushies and their Royal Bushie Masters rejoice like Hitler on Kristallnacht.
