PHH: Irregardless, 'Meri'Ca

MeriCa,
So we've won this Independence Day Sale thing. Now what? I mean, we've sold everything to pay off those expenses. China, Japan, India: they get access to all of our tech, computer, cameras, tvs, iThings, and our crappy cars. Saudia Arabia and the Middle East own our oil for our Japanese cars. Canada owns our maple syrup. Other countries all own our coffee beans. France gets our scorn. England is returning the favor of dumping their tea into the harbor by dumping our oil into the gulf. Those vindictive bastards!

And now, we're not even in the World Cup anymore! Sacre Blur!

Sigh. Corporations own our politicians for the people, we don't have healthcare system that benefits everyone, our public schools are abyssmal. We can't smoke where we want to, we can swear on television unless it's on FX, we can't buy alcohol after 9pm, on Sundays, on holidays or on days of the week that don't work for the government of the constitution state. BAh!

Oh well, at least we had a long weekend. Now it's back to work. Celebrate your indie 'meriCa by coming down to the Revolucion Rock Tavern on Capitalist Avenue in the Hartbeat. Progressive Happy Hour begins at 9:30pm. Beat the heatwave with ice cold pitchers of Naughty Nurse, Irish Ale or your ale of choice.

Viva la revolucion!!!
