AND THE LAND…OF THE…FREE…
You should be out eating barbecue, drinking beer, and showing children the wonders of those jacked-up fireworks you bought across the state line that are in fact completely illegal in your state. But that’s what America is about: the freedom to blow your hand off in front of horrified youngsters you happen to be related to, and soothing the pain with a nice, cold Miller High Life on the way to the E.R.
Wherever you are on this holiday weekend, we hope your national anthem provider does it just like this cop did.
Enjoy your 4th. We’ll see you on Wednesday.

That could be the most painfully hilarious rendition of the Star Spangled Banner that I’ve ever heard. And I love me some Carl Lewis.

and the rocket’s red glare, lots of bombs in the air, gave proof to the night, that we still had a flag, oh say does that spangle banner wave, over all-l-l-l-l that’s free, over the home, of the land, and the land of the free!

God bless you O.
I just spoke to a client on the phone and began the conversation with, “So you are stuck working today, too, huh?”
The morning drive reminded me of some bad 80’s zombie movie. No one on the road.
On a bright note, I think I am going to get rip-roaring drunk at lunch.

That guy who is clearly trying not to laugh is unintentionally making me crack up all 5 times I’ve watched that this morning. And put another vote in for more posting for us poor bastards stuck here waiting for 4:00.

I feel bad for that first cop, the big side of beef that was ready to take his head off. And context is important too. Note the badges: this was a department in mourning.
One video that encapsulates all that’s right — and all that’s wrong — with our great country.
God Bless America!

Once again I have living posted proof that Orson has some diabolical device that steals posts from my head. I was going to do this exact post tom. But NOOOO! Mr. Swindle had to beat me to it.
Excellent work per usual, gentlemen. And you’re right, Odell51. It’s Enrico Palazzo redux.

Dear. freaking. God. That was painful. And one of the funniest things I have EVER seen online. Thank you, gentleman.
And yes, that was Enrico Palazzo redux.
