Giving King George III the Saddam Treatment, since 1776.
Oh, and when I need to feel proud, both as an American and as a Long Islander, I can always watch this.

Happy Fourth, Boys!
Of all the certain things in life… “Let’s have a tea party.”
Perhaps a soiree.
Happy Fourth of July.
.. time will tell.
I will spend my Independance Day lamenting the legacy of George W. Bush and what he has done to our once great nation. It’s just sad.
Buzzkill.
Buzzkill. The US is still a great nation.
Damn straight. Where else can a man create fine works of neo-traditional architecture and bang two Long Island bimbos at the same time*?
*That is to say, he was designing buildings and banging Long Island bimbos at the same time, not that he was banging both bimbos simultaneously.
Sir, you are “damn straight” in saying so.
Which ammendment was that… now?
Have a good one, you revolting Americans!
Ah well, now us english are resigned to being the 51st State. How times change!
Yeah, I’m free. Tonight, “I’ll be at the harbor.”
Priceless! Was it, “1 by land or 2 by sea?”.
The Glorious Fourth. Happy Holiday!
Hey Long Islander, Happy Independence Day from a Western New Yorker!
now to get texas to succeed again we dont need you yankees
Western New York? Isn’t that like in Canada?
Rather, consider how much greater would our country be if it were not for people like G.W. and his entourage of ignorant, mediocre, corrupt ideologues who have too often made a virtue out of failure.
America will recover but not without a better effort and a reaffirmation of our founding fathers’ vision.
I thought Texas was part of Mexico now?
How’s about one more revolution? What kind of economic/military/social powerhouse could be created if Canada/USA/Mexico merged into one country? Fuck the colors. Go humanity!
It’s time to grow, and nationalism ain’t fertilizer.
That’s nice.
Happy fourth! However, I can’t help having a jjip-jjip-han feeling that our Prez is named George out of all names AND he’s also an incapable piece of shit.
Dear America:
please take note: Toyota Motors is worth 150 billion dollars.
GM is worth 6 billion, Ford 10 billion.
Enjoy your weekend.
…and vote for the smart guy this time…
Wot, you mean Katsuaki Watanabe? Crikey, that bloke’s from Japan, in’e?
(Note: I’ll be testing out British English during the day, to see if it really is a more polished form of communication than American English.)
#24 “Linkd”, in 2001 the election was pretty much co-opted by a bunch of judges. Bush did not win, rather we as a nation lost.
#21. Forget what time of year this is. Fireworks are nice. I like them, too. But what is holding humanity back? Could it be flags and all the baggage that comes with them? Do you honestly think in 1000 years there will be a United States Of Earth? I’m not religious, but I think pride, and all its mutations, is the root of most evil.
So, jag, ask the question then: What does “Go humanity!” mean? Where will we be in 1K years? You want to erase borders, but scoff at a United States of Earth? So, what is our proper state?
The neocon ideologue Francis Fukuyama tackled that question in his exceedingly ill-timed book The End of History (see the wiki).
Yep, he actually proposed that the Western model was the ultimate society. And just in time to help convince Bush’s entire team of the idea’s truth, to the extent that they felt it became their right to impose it on the rest of the world, even through preemptive war, if that’s what it took.
Is your idea that the whole of north america, if conjoined, could somehow fare better in their foolish and futile mission than the US could alone? Because that’s just the current play with a slightly modified cast.
Or that humanity will somehow transcend tribal identity, and all our race will accept ‘human’ as their sole label? Because that’s been tried by KJI, Castro, Mau and others of their ilk. That experiment has been done. The results were far, far worse than the necon takeover of Washington in 2001.
