Balloon Juice - One of the things I

One of the things I love about America is how people celebrate common holidays in their own unique way. For example:

Google has their lettering done in the style of an American Flag.

The normally black and white Drudge has red and blue lettering.

William Quick has a copy of the Declaration up.

Lileks has a wonderful bleat up about grocery stores and how we are just the best damn country in the world.

Steve Den Beste has a touching and disturbing photo montage from September 11th.

When I finally go outside and brave the god awful heat, I will be treated to flags hanging everywhere, pudgy people in tight red white and blue t-shirts, fireworks, parades, and all sorts of other displays. What a country.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Second rate reporter says what?

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.
