Tar and Feather BP. It's so American

Well, we got plenty of Tar and Washington,DC is full of chickens, so lets put our natural resources to work. We have a long history of tar and feathering the British and BP is British. If it was good enough for the American Revolution it's good enough for me. I'm sure tar and feathering is allowed by our constitution.
The picture shown is of a recipient from World War 1 who did not support War Bonds. It's unknown if the gentlemen was rehabilitated. Seems like an excellent idea to me.


Tarring and Feathering was a punishment that went back to the Middle Ages with Richard the Lionhearted and the Crusades. The first record is in 1189. Richard ordered that any robber voyaging with the crusaders “shall be first shaved, then boiling pitch shall be poured upon his head, and a cushion of feathers shook over it.” It was not used extensively until the American colonists revived the punishment in the 1760s. Patriots used it against British officials and loyalists in the American colonies.
