A Pro-American Fourth

Since most of my 4th of July was spent working in the bookstore (there are no holidays where people won't shop if they can) the family left me on my own. A quick trip to the store got me some Polish sausage (that's a snub to the bratwurst since Germany isn't too fond of the U.S. in the Iraq War) and some cornbread, an American culinary treasure. That was washed down with some good American beer, brewed by Huber Brewery in Monroe, WI. Then instead of watching fireworks on the television (no where close to real life) I watched The Naked Gun made by those American comedic geniuses Jim Abrahams and the Zucker brothers. I'm even comfortable to admit I'll indulge in some Ben & Jerry's ice cream later. Sure it's from Vermont and Ben and Jerry are wacked-out Lefties, but it's damn good ice cream.

I hope you all had a good, relaxing 4th. Stay safe, and God bless America.
