Subject: Happy 800th birthday!

Need a reason to celebrate today? It's the 800th birthday of Magna Carta.
I believe, but don't quote me, that Magna Carta was the great, many times
removed, grandma of Jimmy Carta, former US president.
Anyhow they say it happened on this day back in 1215. I'd need to check to
see if the calendar adjustment messes up this date, or not.
But at least the 800 years is a good indication of just how long a nearly
forgotten document can be preserved. The Magna Carta and the Dead Sea
Scrolls. Perhaps someone might convince President Barak Obama to read
through this old manuscript. So much of what he has been undermining was
based on these declarations. Can we say, "Habius Corpus"?
So head on out to your local pub and raise a Pint to the Grand Old Magna
Carta...may she rest in peace.
