Happy Fourth of July

By Mitch Berg

I’m actually writing this on Tuesday.  I’m certainly not going to be blogging today, Wednesday. 

Anyway, get out and celebrate our nation’s independence. I strongly recommend commemorating our forefathers’ resistance to arbitrary, stupid authority by driving to Wisconsin or the Dakotas (if you’re in Minnesota) and buying a ton of bottle rockets, screamers and roman candles. 

George Washington and the patriots who founded this country would have wanted it that way.

    Happy Third of July. On this day in 1863 the good guys won the Battle of Gettysburg. Celebrate by kicking a confederate in the nads.

    Only the Clown would kick a confederate in the nads; most of us would respect an ally or friend more than that.

    A Confederate who met the clown would probably do the deed to him without qualm. Given AC’s personality, most of his confederates are prone to aim for his nads periodically. too, so the confusion about Confederate and confederate are probably justified in this case.

    Thanks Mitch. That clears up the confusion between the title and the date under it. I realize this sort of specificity is necessary due to the extreme anal nature of some of your, er, fans.
    Have a good one, big guy.

    Iraq war bad, Civil War good. Hard to figure liberals out sometimes.

  5. angryclown Says:

    Iraq war stupid idea incompetently executed. Civil War free slaves, preserve Union, Tonto.

    Awesome job catching the typo, Nerdbert. Though Angryclown thinks you wingnuts are the ones who confuse confederates and Confederates. You seem to have no problem letting the latter run the country.

    Another way… to enjoy the 3rd and 4th. Fun at family gatherings!

    Aw, thanks clown, but I wasn’t nitpicking, I was nitwit picking. After all, being a New Yawker and a shining personification of the infamous personality disorder that implies it was obvious you had made a Freudian slip.

    Nice going, Mitch.

    Yeah, I wrote the post REALLY quick at the end of the day on Tuesday, and THOUGHT I’d banked it to auto-publish at 4AM Tuesday. Not so, apparently. Blah.

    Vobo: So you know all about the Cleveland shooter’s criminal record?

    He wasn’t, per chance, a carry permit holder, was he?

    (I’ll guess with fair confidence – no).
