Kudos...The patriots from back in the day! Without them, we wouldn't live in the land of the free or have a sweet movie that Mel Gibson starred in (pre-meltdown of course). That movie could be my most favorite thing about 4th of July.
Boos...The crisis in the gulf. I do not like BP or Tony Hayward.
Kudos...American TV. Sure, the Brits gave us some of their classics...the Office anyone? But then you have to look at the ones that American stations developed...Parks and Recreation, Friends, How I Met Your Mother, New Jersey Housewives, I could go on. Some may say it causes viewers to lose braincells, but hell, I call it good TV.
Boos...Bomb threat at JFK today. After an evacuation in a terminal, no bomb was produced, yet you would think that it would put a damper on some people's holiday plans.
Kudos...Americans at sporting events...the comradery at the Olympics (more summer than winter), the baseball games, the world cup. It's so heartwarming when you see a fan with a face painted American Flag on his face. Makes you proud to be an American.
Boos...major debt in CA. Because of the states bankruptcy, many cities were forced to reevaluate their 4th of July festivities. Redwood City slashed their firework display, but opted to keep their "famous" parade. But people did come out and support the parade and their American heritage with red white and blue outfits!
HAPPY 4th of JULY!!
