Ah, independence. There's nothing quite like it. Today's a great day to reflect on it, on the people who fought and died over unfair taxes and a lack of representation.
...just sayin'. I'm sure the Earth's orbit has gotten a bit more erratic since November 2008. Must be all the Founding Fathers spinning in their graves.
Just to recap: there's a "health" bill that nobody's actually read and most people actually don't want, but the gist of it is that the government now controls your healthcare. There's a "stimulus" that's lining the pockets of various cronies. There's a nominee for the Supreme Court who can't give a straight answer to any question asked by a Republican. There's a President who's far more concerned with finding out whose ass to kick than he is with actually cleaning up the mess. We're probably on the verge of a double-dip recession.
But the good news is, fireworks are cool and we get to make platitudes to freedom. Ah, that makes up for it.
