| #23 I'm a bit late to the party....but hope everyone had a Happy 4th. The Tsarevich enjoyed his first fireworks show, and hopefully next year he'll be "ooh"-ing and "aah"-ing with the rest of us! And thanks to all who are defending this land so me, the Tsar and my boy could sit by the Banana River and enjoy the show. Happy 231st, America!! |

| #22 We did our own little Fourth Parade here is beautiful downdown Oak harbor, and I am pleased to report that there were no reported sightings of any loons, troops out now, code pink, or any of that crap. The parade was kicked off by a fly over of a pair of our own hometown EA-6Bs; low altitude and the J-52s at full song. made this old airframer break out in goose pimples. Wing rock in formation was tops and lots of waves back at them from all the assembled multitudes..... |

| #20 The 4th of July has now been hijacked by the loons Well, they did get kinda kicked out of Memorial Day, the Teamsters have a lock on Labor Day, and Arbor Day doesn't have the same speaking-political-truth-to-power as the 4th.... |

| #17 Rita Hayworth wearing sensible shoes? Doesn't seem to fit by boyhood recollection of her. On the other hand, I marched in our 4th of July parade today along with my son. We had a bunch of "anti-war vets" who looked more like ex-Japenese POWs (if you get my drift). One guy wearing a T that said "Marines". If he was a Marine then Capt. Manwaring was his CO. We also had the Unitarian Universalist Church marching with signs that were actually paragraphs of intellectual discourse but basically "make love not war'. Then to top it off we had our own chapter of Code Pink. My one reflection from all these oddball kooks is that it is a good thing we don't have to ever depend on them to defend us. The 4th of July has now been hijacked by the loons. God Bless America, please! |

| #15 #4: cisco makes configurable hardware, don't lump them in with yahoo and google giving out personal info to the gov't. it would be like blaming gun mfgs for shootings, we all know how that goes. |

| #14 Besoeker, and a happy 4th to you, too. One of the great films, and after reading your post, I watched it again. |

| #13 Procopius, I also checked at 1200 EDT. But Google runs PDT; they changed at 1200 PDT. They aren't as being obnoxious this time. |

| #12 What Steve said, plus vast quantities of gratiously water usage in the quest for the greenest lawn in my neighborhood. When I see rivlets coursing down the street, I know it is then time to move the sprinklers. |

| #8 Happy Independence Day, my dears! Wishing all the Americans delicious cook-outs and beautiful fireworks, homey gatherings with family and friends, and all the things our men and women in uniform are fighting so hard to protect. And for those many proud Rantburgers of other nations, please lift a glass with us, as we toast a friendship well worth treasuring. :-D |

| #6 Nearly 1 am RDST (Rantburg Daylight Server Time) and Google U.S. is not yet observing July 4 Why would the running dogs of the Commies in Beijing celebrate the American Fourth of July? Do you know what your neighbor is Googling comrade? Our monitors do, thanks to the ever vigilant champions of the party, like Google, Microsoft, Cisco .... |

| #1 Nearly 1 am RDST (Rantburg Daylight Server Time) and Google U.S. is not yet observing July 4. They're in Cali, so perhaps they go live at 3 RDST. I'll be watching. Yahoo had their holiday page up by 8pm on July 3. |
