It Seemed Like A Good Idea at the Time

I think this would be more amusing to me if I didn't have a sinking feeling that some of the schmoes running this country might actually think this would work:

I'm guessing this is too subtly ironic for them too:

Can you picture that?

I have wanted to try this ever since I first saw The Muppet Movie:

I can't believe it actually worked!

Happy (Belated) 4th!

I love, love, love the Fourth of July.

In addition to any other festivities that I might join in, I watch 1776 every year because, regardless of how cheesey it may be to others, it makes me feel all patriotic and I love the songs. I'll be singing "But, Mr. Adams" constant-LEE the new few days, much to the dismay of my coworkers.

I think I have a special attachment to the holiday because I grew up near Philadelphia and my parents regularly took us in to Old City to see Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Franklin Court, etc.

It's really incredible to be at Independence Hall on the 4th, and Philadelphia typically puts on a great party for about a week.

Except for last night. Twits.
