I wrote this the night before, since it's not very "up to date" and could be prepared beforehand. I think last year's 4th column was better, though, so <a href="http://www.chrisweigant.com/index.php/2007/07/04/celebrate-the-4th-pursue-some-happiness/" rel="nofollow">check it out</a>. I completely forgot to mention last month that it was the one-year anniversary of this blog. And the two-year anniversary of my appearances on the Huffington Post. Woo hoo! It's been lots of fun, I have to say... Hope you had a glorious fourth yourself. DinkSinger - I think I answered you over at Huffington Post in the comments, or someone who brought up the same point you did. Click the link at the bottom of the article to see my response (summed up: you're right). Hope everyone had a great 232rd birthday of America! -CW Elizabeth -

One little historical correction. The Un-American Activities Committee was originally created to investigate Fascist, not Communist, subversion. Great essay!

I thought you were gonna take the day off today and enjoy the festivities. Well...a very nice post, anyway. It was a work day here, like any other. And, in honour of all my friends down there, south of the border and beyond, I dressed for the occasion...cool white linen capri and a fun red/white/blue Americana tee emblazoned with a mish-mash of stars and stripes, bits of the American flag, Lady Liberty, herself...you get the picture...oh, and red shoes to top it off! Something that fun to wear couldn"t possibly get me into any trouble, could it? Happy 4th of July! Hey, CW!
