Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue

Hello everyone! It's been such a long time since I updated, which is not what I had planned on doing today. I promise I will try to do one a night, but work has occupied a lot of my day time, and when I get home at night I'm just so sleepy! I've been slacking with keeping up with recent events in the sphere of politics, but boy oh boy, do I have a lot to say today.

First....I love the song "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue"!! It plays into a lot of stereotypes about Americans, but who cares? It's one of my favorite Fourth of July traditions, and my friends will lay testimony to the fact that I upload it to Facebook every Independence Day. It's just some good old fashioned American patriotism, which happens to include us threatening to "put a boot in your ass," cause "it's the American way." Oh well. I love it. This Independence Day hasn't been as cheery as previous ones. That might be due to the fact that we're in sad spirits. The economy is sucking, we're still in two wars, education is awful, this threat of terrorism seems to be going nowhere. We'll get through it though, America has long been like a phoenix, and this time will be no different. We shall be born again, rising through the ashes of our bleak and sordid past and sailing into the future.
