Well, it’s that time of year. The time of year when we celebrate our Nation’s breaking the shackles of living as colonies of an unfair monarchy 3000 miles away. And from that day in 1776, when the Declaration of Independence (from England, not Germany as many seem to think) was signed, it has been a long, hard, uphill battle to become the greatest Nation the world has yet seen. And then the 1960s happened. Go to hell baby boomers for giving us the shit end of the stick by bequeathing to us a ruied country.
But I digress. In this episode, the gang and I discuss patriotic things like why the Civil War was important and how the average person is clueless; or the 17 whores in Mass. that all planned to get knocked up– one by a homeless 24 year-old– and raise their bastard children together; or how about people screwing up the Star Spangled Banner? We have clips of them. And do you know what a blumpkin is? Timmy will tell ya!
There are many more topics we discuss. July’s Top 5 is included in the show. The topic is the top 5 greatest things about being an American.
