• I guess it’s Independence Day over the pond tomorrow. I trust you’ll all be doing your “solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.” Right? #


• 12 people reply with exactly the same thing:”No, we’re going to blow shit up!” Ah, Americans, the world’s little helpers. With explosives. #


• @tikistitch : Guy Fawkes Night is where we burn an effigy of Fawkes to annually humiliate his name for failing to blow up Parliament. #


• FREAKANGELS 0019: http://www.freakangels.com/?p=44 #


• Also, happy 21st birthday to my cowgirl, @laurennmcc #


• @laurennmcc that’s because you look and work better at 40 than most people do at 21. July 4 is always Laurenn McCubbin Day to me. #


• @laurennmcc : also, I promise to stop telling people that you’re @mckelvie ’s mother, Soon. #


• July 4 - I now have 5111 silent stalkers — I mean “followers” — on Twitter. Soon I will issue the Secret Command Signal. Be patient. #


• @kellysue - in 1997, the only person I saw dress up for the Eisner Awards was George Perez, resplendent in tuxedo and vivid cummerbund. #


• Dear old George did, of course, stand out like a Maharajah at a convention for people who drink paint stripper recreationally. #

libertarianism [chris_acheson]

"As soon as a new party springs up and begins to show signs of success, a lot of political tramps are immediately attracted to its ranks. These men possess a certain amount of influence. They are trained politicians, well versed in the art of packing conventions and proficient at counting the ballots. When they come to the new party with crocodile tears of repentance coursing down their cheeks, it is too weak to refuse their aid. It opens its arms and kissing away their repentant tears, places them in the front rank where glory awaits them. The result of this is a large gain in votes and sometimes success at the polls. But this victory is only gained at the expense of principle, and the last state of that party is worse than the first."

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
