tiresome

It has been an eventfull, and tiresome, weekend thus far full of stress and bad feelings, although it started off promising enough. Here is hoping that Monday and Tuesday will bring happiness and the long weekend will redeem itself.

Anyway, before the 4th is over I wanted to post this tidbit I found in the event pages of the City Paper here in Baltimore. I just thought it was an interesting editorial on Independence Day.

Tuesday 4
Fourth of July
All day, the United States of America

Fireworks in the Inner Harbor. Cookouts. Swimming pools. Apple pie. Smiling children. Grandma and grandpa. The beach. Baseball games. Oppressive humidity. Batsh*t gas prices. Seasonal allergies. Cost of living on the rise. Street crime. A president with a flat-lining approval rating. Proposed draconian policies for illegal immigrants. Gay rights embattled in every state. Erosion of the Fourth Amendment. 2,500 U.S. soldiers, plus or minus a couple hundred. Playing chicken with Iran's nuclear capabilities. Love it or leave it, motherf****rs.
