Beer and Sparklers For Everyone!
It's the Fourth of July! Happy Birthday, America!!
I don't know what the 4th of July means to you, but to me, it means good friends, tasty animals cooked with fire, getting drunk and watching things explode. Sometimes I really, really do love America.
The 4th has all the essential ingredients of a truly great American holiday. But apparently, not everyone loves America, as Jeremy Blachman discovered in this book review that reveals Why America Sucks.
At least I'm not the only one who will be groggy at work tomorrow, since it was The Larry and E. Spat Weekend 'o' Booze.
Oh, and don't forget, the 4th of July wasn't the only national holiday recently.
The 4th of July always means that summer is indeed here and in full swing, as Legal Quandary would remind us.
Carey over at Glorfindel of Gondolin is getting a real taste of Chicago this summer. And being the low-brow epicurean that I am, I'll offer some tasty suggestions: Top Notch Beef Burger (on the way South Side) and Pequod's Pizza on Clyborn. Oh, and you must go to Harold's Chicken in Hyde Park--fried chicken served through bullet proof glass--it is the finest fried linear bird you will ever eat. Yum.
It was a busy week all around. Scoplaw's grades came back, as did In Limine's. And Cathy was busy grading a writing competition. Now if only the people grading my write-on submission would give me some insight...
In other news, Sandra Day O'Connor announced her retirement. The Big Blawgs were all a flutter with musings, and Obsessive Law Student offered some thoughts as well. In an un-related post, Law and Alcoholism captured my reaction with this post titled: I would sell my soul for a glass of bourbon right about now.
Ditzy Genius has the Midas Touch, which is probably a pretty good thing for a future attorney. But it's not all rainmaking, as Jeremy Richey lifts the veil on his latest creation, and reminds us of The Power to Do Good.
And speaking of the power to do good, this weekend also saw Live 8. I happened to catch some of the same MTV/VH1 coverage Jaybeas Corpus did, and I have to agree that MTV sucks.
But you already knew that.
Happy Fourth of July everyone!
