Independence Day Quotes by Thomas Paine
You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. Independence Day Quotes by Erma Bombeck

4th of July

Happy 4th of July This holiday always reminds me of the dog my family owned that hated the sound of fireworks. He got all nervous and jumpy; the only thing that calmed him down was turning on the TV. I identify with that long-gone pet. Tonight, around the time when fireworks are going off across America, TV Land will give us its holiday gift: a marathon of Roseanne episodes, beginning at 8 p.m. ET with the 1988 pilot episode. Like my old dog, I'm tempted to skip the fireworks and watch Roseanne.
At a time when the economy is tough, the tight-budget comedy of Roseanne -- love that moment when Roseanne tells Becky to bring home some of the food from her school's "food drive for poor people" -- is both timely and funny. (Also, trivia buffs note: the kid playing little DJ in this pilot episode is not Michael Fishman, but, for this ep only, Sal Barone.)
Hello and Happy Fourth of July, everybody. This weekend is a time to get together with family and friends, kick back, and enjoy a little time off. And I hope that's exactly what all of you do. But I also want to take a moment today to reflect on what I believe is the meaning of this distinctly American holiday. Today, we are called to remember not only the day our country was born - we are also called to remember the indomitable spirit of the first American citizens who made that day possible.
