What crappy weather. The grave-faced weathermen deliver the forecast: 70 degrees, rain, wind. They are solemn, with a tad of joviality thrown in for mercy. Honestly, we don’t make the weather, we just report it. We like the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular just as much as anyone! Bad weather reports on the Fourth of July are like the final exam of meteorologist school.
Why is God punishing America like this on her birthday? Why, President Bush, why?
Here we have “Conversation Starters for Your BBQ: 9 off-beat facts about our Founding Fathers.” I can hear it now: “John Adams would have a hard time with this corn on the cob. He refused to wear dentures!” Silence and bewildered stares. “Chilly, isn’t it? Never thought I’d be wearing jeans on July 4th. Hey, did you know James Madison was the first President to wear long pants instead of breeches?” Crickets.
