Just a quick wish that everyone has a safe and happy fourth.

The name of the holiday is "Independence Day",
the "fourth of July" is the date of the holiday. :-)

oh ****! is THAT what we were celebrating!?
where were you when i went to that "Cinco De Mayo" bash!?

with your unnecessary focus on irrelevant details, perhaps you should
consider running for office.

OTOH, sometimes I think I agree with one of the
opponents of the revolution...

"I'd rather have one despot 3000 miles away
than have 3000 of them one mile away."

yes, but you're forgetting one thing: it's a lot harder to purchase a
despot 3000 miles away than it is one mile away...

....i'm sorry, did i say "purchase"? i meant 'lobby'.
