This Post is Dedicated to my Third Wife (Don’t worry: she knows who she is)
And to my English Girlfriend (she knows who she is too). When asked by some American, “Do you celebrate the ‘Fourth of July’ in England? She always responds with a ‘washing of hands’ bit. Yep! Good Riddance! Hahahah! Gotta love them English!
I have spent the better part of the last three days watching documentaries and other stuff about the birth of my nation.
Documentaries about Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington, et al.

I love my Country. I am a patriot. I rant. I rail. I even disparage our government.
But, If you mark my country for ill, Or Speak Ill, I will…
Fight you.
‘Till no breath resides in my breast.
And… that is a fact, Jack.
So…
The rest is just hyperbole,

Have Fun:

Yeah, but “when you’re down on your luck, and you ain’t got a buck, in London you’re a goner.”
Gotta love John Adams!

One of my favorite quotes from “1776”: “One man is a disgrace, two men are a law firm, and three or more become a congress… and BY GOD, I have had this congress!”
