As we celebrate America's 200-something birthday this weekend, keep in mind that no matter what kind of economic & environmental mess we are in or what kind of crazy people are out there walking and breeding amongst us, this is still the greatest country on earth. Thank you to all of the men and women who have sacrificed their families, friends and even their lives & limbs to keep this country free. Because of you, we have the right to say and do stuff that may raise an eyebrow or two, or if you are really lucky, earn a segment on The Daily Show. We can go see over-hyped movies about vampires, wait in line for 16 hours for a phone that may be outdated in 3 months, and we can throw a huge tantrum and scream incessantly at our teammates in the dugout for no reason...oh, wait, my bad- no, we can't do THAT.
By the way, if you are purchasing alcohol in Indiana this weekend, have your ID ready. Yes, even you, Grandpa, you are about to feel 21 again.
Have a great 4th everyone, and to close us out, here's a diddy from Brad Paisley...."American Saturday Night".
