JULY THE 4TH - INDEPENDENCE DAY

I didn't write this, but I sure wish I did

 

The 4th of July...

 

It is a rather obvious holiday, here in the land of Freedom Fries. It is a time when politicians pretend to honor freedom and liberty, while they craft their reelection campaigns and spy on their constituents. It is a time for fervent racism and xenophobia to parade around as patriotism. It is a time for the "got mines" to whine about how every penny of their inherited wealth is special and shouldn't be taxed. It is, of course, a time for trotting out half-truths, and histories written by the victors. It is time when the spirits of our founding fathers to look down upon us and weep.

 

But hey! We get fireworks!
