My favorite holiday. I live in the country where an entitled British royal flees to and whines about the “bonkers” First Amendment; but can’t do any more about it than his ancestors could. I’m grateful to those clever, cynical, imperfect founders who set the whole thing up to frustrate the ambitions of the people who promise to save us if only we hand them a little more power. We’ve got it in writing.
I plan on celebrating in potentially unhealthy ways, and ignoring the whiners who want me to apologize for being American. Not going to happen.
