While us Americans prepare to celebrate the 4th of July people are still being slaughtered in Iran. We continue to receive news mostly from hidden video and twitter. Our media response is limp and our political response is practically non-existent. It saddens me more then angers me.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124657699261689193.html This is what I was taught in school. Back when it was cool to love your country. P.J. O'Rourke sums it up nicely in a typically arrogant hyperbolic fashion: “We’re the baddest-assed sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We’re three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descended from a stock market crash on our mother’s side. You take your Germany, France and Spain, roll them all together and it won’t give us room to park our cars. We’re the big boys, Jack, the original, giant, economy-sized, new and improved butt kickers of all time. When we snort coke in Houston, people lose their hats in Cap d’Antibes. And we’ve got an American Express card credit limit higher than your piss- ant metric numbers go." Well ok, maybe the credit limit has suffered.
