Crazy Independence Day Stuff
Bryan R. | July 04, 2005Via Twisted History JULY 4 U.S. INDEPENDENCE DAY
We should not forget that our tradition is one of protest and revolt, and that it is stultifying to celebrate the rebels of the past while we silence the rebels of the present.
-- Henry Steele Commager
"Who cares what you think?"
-- Compassionate conservative George W. Bush when confronted by a critic at a block party in Philadelphia, today in 2001
1826: 50 years today after signing of Declaration of Independence, both John Adams & Thomas Jefferson, 2nd & 3rd U.S. presidents, die.
1831: Five years today after deaths of Adams & Jefferson, 5th U.S. prez James Monroe dies.
2001: Terrorist kingpin Osama bin Laden enters American hospital in Dubai to begin treatment for kidney disease. Le Figaro will report visits to bin Laden by allegedly 'estranged' family, as well as by CIA agents -- all of whom will quickly deny story.
2004: Groundbreaking ceremony for new 1,776-foot-high 'Freedom Tower' which will replace World Trade Center, New York City.

There hasn't been much updating lately. Where are the sources to link to, to find out more about the things on the fourth. I want to know about the CIA and how they are doing a terrible job.

The Bush comment...would be nice to know what he was talking about? I have a feeling that you probably took that out of context. Someone could have been asking him whether he likes ketchup or mustard on his hot dog. If you are going to post something you may want put up the complete story or link for your support. Just a tidbit of information, and really I don't know why i just read your's and Steven's conversation. But I did read it all. I guess you guys were really bored...I mean really tuna head and salmon face?!! Anyhow, you guys go over grandma's yesterday? Later
