Today is Freedom Eve, so naturally we are celebrating over at Happy Nice Time People! Between the apple pie, the guns, and the glory, we don't know what to do with ourselves! But don't worry, we've got your horoscopes and your Bobby Womack and your (NBD) RACHEL MADDOW LOVING WONKETTE and so much more.
We figured out everything about you based on American Astrology (TM).
We gave you five kickass Amurrrican tunes to rock your 4th of July party out!
We discovered that foreignball soccer players and their fans are big lying babies sometimes, about injuries!
We loved Bobby Womack .
We experienced a Lindsay Lohan renaissance! (Not really, she's just suing a video game company .)
We realized that Rachel Maddow is in love with Wonkette , NO BIG DEAL SHE IS JUST THE BEST!
Now enjoy yourselves this weekend, and don't forget to sample the fine fun over at Happy Nice Time People!
I've been doing some heavy family research on Ancestry.com and discovered that one of my ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence. So to all you "Love It or Leave It" wingnuts out there, have a happy 4th on me and my family.
Dripping as it is may be with self-contradiction, it's hard not to feel one's heart leap up when reading old Tom's Declaration:
<blockquote>When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature&#039;s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.</blockquote> But wait a minute...&quot;Laws of Nature and Nature&#039;s God&quot;? What kind of Deist (= atheist) bullshit is that?
