And celebrate The Constitution. [...] 
So what do you think is going on?Sitting outside on the night before the Fourth of July, the air is strangely muted. In years past, the sounds of a whistling Saturn Rocket Launcher or the hissing and pop of a bottle-rocket, or the brilliance and thunder of a mortar would almost continually reverberate through one’s ears.

The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America
If you're not a Harry Potter fan, you'll think this is idiotic, but I assure you it is pure brilliance.
Huh...no teleprompter. Imagine that. So she spoke that well without one. Huh.

I've been getting regular "hits" here from "United States". Should I expect a knock on the door at midnight?' [...] Ironic, my vacation entails going back to Wisconsin. G figure.
Will be on the road as I make my way to the annual Binversie Family Reunion in the clan's ancestral family home of St. Nazianz, so blogging will be light likely until early next week.
See ya then.
P.S. Yes, I had a [...]
I think she's done...for now. I hope I'm wrong.
President Palin to resign
Sarah Palin's weird holiday resignation announcement keeps Mark Sanford on the back pages.
If Sarah Palin thinks this will allow her to better hatch a plan to run for President……I am doubtful. [...] 
Surely you’ve heard now that Alaska Gov. Palin is resigning. But why do so on the day before the 4th of July? It happens to be a Friday, but that won’t bury talk about it. What are we not seeing yet that’s about to blow up? [...] Okay, we're getting our first indication of what happened. It seems like a colossal sulk on Palin's part, or perhaps better to say an effort on her part to ingeniously combine anti-liberal media bias agitation with Christianist politics by portraying herself as having been crucified by' [...]
Caledonia, Michigan that is! Great job by this group of youngsters from across the pond.
In a shocking piece of breaking news, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will announce in a news conference this afternoon, that she will not seek reelection, and will resign her position in the near future.
Already speculation is building that this is a move to position herself for a run [...]
v1.0: The Hillel cam.

v3.0: Seeing Ann Althouse at Espresso Royale today. *gets giddy like school girl* [...] It’s usually not a good sign when a country starts arresting embassy folks.
Ayatollah Jannati did not say how many employees would be tried or on what charges.
“In these incidents, their embassy had a presence, some people were arrested,” he told the thousands of worshippers [...]
Heard this earlier in the week, but only now found a story about it. Once again, the Rush-kis' highlight their knack for being completely oblivious to public perceptions.

There are plenty of fireworks this weekend inside and outside of the clubs. Be sure to check out the Decider’s comprehensive firework guide for details on what’s happening outside. We’ve got the skinny on what’s happening inside. The High Noon has two shows of explosive [...]

Admittedly trading has been rather difficult the last few weeks. With a couple of exceptions, most days in one form or another have acted like a gap and crap with little volatility after the opening half hour. Making money seems to be precluded on carrying an overnight position premised on [...]
President Obama is headed to Russia next week. The visit is planned to allow discussions on a host of topics: trade, North Korea, missile defense etc. Amongst the laundry list of issues, I find one group’s request to be most interesting. From Reuters:
Today is July 3, the 184th day of the year. On this date in 1863, the Civil War Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania ended in a major victory for the North as Confederate troops retreated after three days of fighting.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel brings us word that the Government Accountability Board has just paid $4,900 to a firm for a new logo… It’s a copy of the Anarchy symbol. That’s very fitting for the agency that is supposed to assure fair elections, isn’t it? Well, actually, [...]
Perhaps something to consider in Franklin, where farmland is still fairly abundant:

(cross-posted from dane101.com)Here’s a question for you… if the paper publishes someone else’s column with my name on it, can I still get paid for it?

[...] The latest report from theTrust for America's Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) on obesity shows Wisconsin has the 25th highest rate of adult obesity in the nation, at 26.0 percent and the 12th lowest of overweight youths (ages 10-17) at 27.9 percent.
It's a dud.
