OKAY THAT’S A LITTLE FANCIER THAN OUR FOURTH: “President Barack Obama took his own advice Saturday, relaxing on the Fourth of July with some golf, a cookout and a private Foo Fighters concert in the backyard, capped by the annual fireworks show on the National Mall.” [Baltimore Sun/Flickr]
That is so totally unfair. All we got was Sweet 75 to perform in our backyard.
In other news, Marion Berry was arrested for stalking a women. Probably just wanted to make sure she didn’t get gay married or something.
It is a travesty that our nation did not cancel all celebrations this weekend in honor of Sarah Palin’s resignation.
Have you no shame Mr. Hussein Nobama!??
the man knows what’s important. got his priorities on straight. is there a lesson somewhere in this? will it be on the test?
He plays golf in his backyard?
This is interesting and all, but can we get back to the Palin coverage? What were America’s Favorite Family™ listening to in *their* backyard? That’s what the country wants to know!
He didn’t follow the new tradition started by Queen Sarah - resigning in the middle of his term. This is only further evidence that Nobama hates America, and the LIEbruls’ refusal to call him on it shows their hatred too.
rambone: Malia had an American flag painted on her cheek. We know it was in honor of Sarah Palin cause it was the right cheek.
YEAH RIGHT and we heard he would re-open the Crown of Liberty but instead he didn’t and the traffic was awful anyway!!!
The nerve!

Todd Mecklem: Speaking of Bible Spice, I’ve noticed that on every weekend round up where they talk about Sarah, everyone agrees that she is bat-shit crazy, except for one insane Republican (cf. Bill Kristol), who will talk about how this is just a brilliant move, because America loves a quitter and having done nothing of importance in her entire political careers, surely doing nothing of importance in the private sector should set her up in 2012.
Every single round-table. I’m not sure if I should be worried that most Republicans are not completely insane, or that it is so easy to fine one that is.
Also.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: The Ramones performed in my back yard. And XTC. And Talking Heads. It was a GREAT day!
Golf?! While there’s a war on? Why is Barack Obama so heartless?
Personally, I really enjoyed the whole auto de fe/St. Joan flaming fireworks tribute to Sarah Palin.
Particularly when they announced that the gunpowder stuffed dummy tied to the stake was, in fact, the soon-to-be former Governor herself.
Todd Mecklem: “America’s Favorite Family™ ”
I’m honestly begining to think I would enjoy “The Palins” more than “The Osbournes”. But would feel guilty watching and thinking the adverstising is going to her rather than a drug addict devil worshipping anarchist family. Hmm.
loquaciousmusic: As it happens, I had originally invited the Foo Fighters over to perform in my backyard on the 4th. But then I realized I didn’t have enough hamburgers to serve everyone, so I had to disinvite them (major embarrassment!) I’m glad they were able to line up another gig on such short notice.
Lionel Hutz Esq.: Do you think its the Palin/Kristol sex tape that’s about to be released? Did he cross the “ultimate line” or just get a Hummer? These governor types seem hesitate about that ultimate line (I assume that is some kind of other sports analogy that went over my head?)
Good Morning, Wonketteers - that’s a nice pic of the DC mall (I think) to see first thing in the morning, but my day may be clouded by Ol’ Gaffy Joe letting more soon-to-be famous flubs fly on the Sunday Yack-shows…
Isn’t there a ’shovel-ready’ project somewhere for him to silently pose for?
A note to rambone: Yes, I did make reference to this past week-end’s National Rugby League games (check Wikipedia or NRL-dot-com) that us NRL-fans obsess over every winter… as far as your similarities/differences with Anderson Cooper, am I to assume that you were NOT a 10 year-old on a blind-date with Michael Jackson at Studio 54 (as related on HuffPo)?
My own humble celebration of the all day yesterday was to drink beer and the fireworks involved
my wife questioning that patriotic gesture.
I hope Hopey got to smoke a cig. Because freedom means being free to do things that are unhealthy. Just ’cause you want to.
now that’s a tea party!
Golf, a cookout, and a private Foo Fighters concernt. My god, Watson; we’ve got our first black-white president!
Jesse Jackson is not amused, and will be in Washington on Monday to formally revoke Mr. Obama’s black card. The Rev. Al Sharpton will oversee said ceremony with a guest performance by the reanimated head of Michael Jackson. That is all.
When those low-level GOP personnel make fun of how it should now be called the Black House, how come they never make the same joke about the Washington Monument?
Still drunk. Don’t. Understand. Question. More soon.
SayItWithWookies: you didn’t miss anything.
Bruno: Wha?
Did they play “Best of You”? “My Hero”? Did Barry do the mosh pit?
Meanwhile, Mark Sanford sits alone at home, sad he missed Argentine Independence Day (May 25th).
Bruno: Sadly, Bible Spice is ignorant but no dummy, Kristol isn’t worth full on coitus, just a hand job behind the Wasilla 7/11.
Did the Obamas throw Mentos? Big me, woo hoo!
Everyone knows dropping acid is the best way to spend 4th of July. End of discussion.
Suds McKenzie: Goodness — I’m going to put one of those breathalyzers on my computer so it won’t let me comment in, uh — that condition. At least now I know why I feel beat this morning.
No one on Mount Rushmore ever had to have a breathalizer test. God Bless America!!
WOW!
The president did exactly the same thing I did.
Somehow I thought that any Negro who was smart enough to steal a car, not to mention an election, would have had a more fun, ‘gangsta’ type Fourth of July celebration.
Maybe go out and bust a cap in Newt or Rushes ass.
Still, it was pretty cool to invite the troops.
Some of them.
The rest of the troops are still fighting Bushes war in Iraq.
For some reason.
