The 4th

Every year on the 4th we watch this video of Marvin Gaye singing the Star Spangled Banner. Usually I also write some sort of anti-patriotism rant, but I am too bummed out by the Islamist destruction of African historical sites. Perhaps you would enjoy reading one from a few years ago.

I think you would be better off reading a profile or Rachel Maddow in Rolling Stone (subscription only unless you have this magic link). And here is a list of fireworks displays in Miami if you are so inclined.
