UP-SIDE-DOWN

Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered.

04 July 2010

4 JUL 2010, Independence Day

  • A Star Trek salute to America.  (OK, OK...so that's the US Constitution...the ideals are the same.)
  • If you haven't read the Declaration of Independence in awhile, why not take this special day to do so...go here for the text.
  • But first...how's about a fireworks show near the Washington Monument?
  • Interesting graphic on how laws are made.
  • And now to the absolutely ridiculously pitiful...Jay Leno asking "folks on the street" what is celebrated on July 4th...disappointing performance by most...College professor was shockingly disappointing (no hope for education fixing this apparently)...heck, one entire family fails miserably but Grandpa comes in at the end for the save!
