The Cosmic Joke

I'm having a lazy July 4th holiday, midweek, in the USA.

This is a terrible holiday, as corporate jingoists across the spectrum continue to conflate the American Revolution with today's American imperial wars.

Support the troops?  Are you serious?

No less an 18th century luminary than Thomas Paine would have laughed, finding the irony deep, indeed.
