Happy birthday America

Today is Independence Day. The day in history the original 13 colonies declared their independence from mean ole England and became a real life country.  Let freedom ring.

I must say, out of all of the countries that broke away from England, the United States has done awfully well for itself.  Have you seen Rhodesia Zimbabwe lately?  Ouch.

Sheri and I will be celebrating the holiday by not working.  We were going to go to a community yard sale that takes place here in Hagerstown every Fourth of July, the Mile Long Yard Sale, but it looks like it’s going to rain.

MSNBC being the fine news organization that it is is showing back-to-back episodes of Dateline: To Catch a Predator. It’s where they trick some dumb pervert online into thinking he is chatting with a child about sex and they get him to come to what he thinks is the child’s house.  In reality, it’s a home rigged with cameras, cops, and NBC’s smarmy Chris Hanson.  What else would you expect them to do today, cover the news? I watched a segment earlier and I could swear I saw the predator at a Wizard World Philly.  I would switch over to Fox News, but they would try to turn me into a Republican, and I don’t want that to happen.
