Happy Independence Day America! I try not to say Happy 4th of July. Sure, it *is* the fourth of July and all, but I think it takes away from the meaning of this holiday. Not that I don’t love beer and barbecues, but we should all remember why this holiday exists in the first place. [...]

Happy Learn Nothing Day!
