It’s almost time for night to all and the fireworks to begin so here’s just a quick reminder from Marilyn Monroe.
Celebrate but be safe! The 4th of July calls for celebration but it’s not worth it if you’re not around for the fifth!
I wish I had a 4th of July movie to review today but I don’t. Instead, I’ll just share my favorite “mission” from the much maligned 2006 Godfather video game.
In this mission, Aldo (who is controlled by the player) takes care of a corrupt cop on the 4th of July. The Godfather game is hardly perfect but I have always loved that cut-scene of the fireworks going off while Aldo and Rosa look down at the alley.
Happy 4th of July, everyone!
Is there anything better than blurry pictures of fireworks on the 4th of July?
I don’t know but I do know that I always enjoy taking them. For me, they’re as much a part of the 4th as visiting with family and cooking out. In honor of the 4th, here are some of my favorite blurry fireworks pictures:

This 4th of July, celebrate life in small town America with these 14 photographs!
Reagan’s Raiders was a comic book that ran for a total of three issues in 1987. It imagined President Ronald Reagan as a super hero who, with the members of his administration, would fight evil around the world. According to this article, a scientist had discovered a way to give them the bodies of young men.
It sounds like the comic books were meant to be satirical but the three covers make Ronald Reagan look like the greatest President that we’ve ever had. (The cover of the second issue should be hanging in the White House, in my opinion.) Here, just in time for the 4th of July, are the three covers of Reagan’s Raiders!
I shared this scene two years ago and then again last year but sometimes a scene is so great that you have to share it thrice. Here, to honor America, is Snoopy performing the National Anthem.
I hope everyone has a great 4th of July!
It wasn’t difficult to pick today’s song of the day. Here is the National Anthem, performed not by the usual highly-paid celebrities but instead, by the class of 2012 at my old high school. I think they did a great job!
During the summer, from May to July, one of our local churches plants flags across the town and hangs ribbons on the street signs. It may not seem like much but it’s something that I look forward to every year. It’s reminder that we’re more than just a location. We’re a community.
