America! Fuck Yeah! A July 4th Recap:
Man, I love July 4th! Wah-hoo!! Eatin' a ton of freedom fries, loading up on liberty burgers. Downing...beer. I'm out of patriotic adjectives, but the beer is definitely supportive of democracy.
I love how we utilize fireworks on this holiday to symbolize war. Remember war? That thing we engage in so infrequently that we need to shoot off fireworks in order to remind ourselves of it. Oh yeah, that's what war is, those little popping sounds and bursts of pretty colors. Oooh. And what a great way to welcome home returning troops. Nothing soothes the crippling terror of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder like a day filled with random explosions. "Welcome home from combat, son!" Boom! "Whoa, why are you crying?"
Yeah, it was a terrific day. A day for remembering our past. For celebrating the future. For standing tall and...holy shit, is North Korea shooting missles at us? What the fuck?! Oh well. The president doesn't seem concerned. I guess it doesn't matter that all the crap we said in order to justify the invasion of Iraq is actually true of North Korea. Meh, fuck it. Baseball is on.

I am always concerned about the stress that dogs and cats must feel during evening fireworks. It never occurred to me that war weary soldiers too must feel traumatized by random explosions. And it was definitely not a coincidence that N. Korea chose the fourth of July to display its own pyrotechnics.
Standing tall indeed!
