Happy 4th of July!!! Or maybe not. Technically, the resolution of independence was passed, in closed session, by the Congress on the 2nd of July. The Declaration of Independence is dated July 4th. But, many historians say it really wasn’t signed until the 2nd of August. So, pick yer date to celebrate but we have the 4th of July off, so I’m going with that one.
Then again, let’s hope the weather holds out and it stays sunny. I’ve been on vacation all week and it’s done nothing but rain and be icky (A real word! And, it passed spell check, too! Apologies for the exclamation points; apparently that’s an “in” thing in emails and texts these days).
I also haven’t posted in a while and that’s because I’m on vacation and haven’t been moved by any issues (though the Supreme Court did toss out DOMA, so there was good news), nor enraged by any misuse of language.
The other good news is I’ve read a couple of good books, that I recommend: “Whitey Bulger: America’s Most Wanted Gangster and the Manhunt that Brought him to Justice” by Boston Globe reporters Kevin Cullen and Shelley Murphy; and,
“Prisoners of the White House: The Isolation of America’s Presidents and the Crisis of Leadership” by U.S. News and World Report’s Ken Walsh, an olde friend. Recommend them both and both are in the news since Whitey, finally, is on trial in Boston and President Obama is still a prisoner of the White House.
Happy 4th or 2nd.
