Happy July 2nd, er . . . 4th From Kiko's House

It's a badly kept secret among historians that little of consequence happened on July 4, 1776 and the events that are the real cause for celebrating America's independence occurred on July 2. Go here to find out why.

We Americans are living through a time of extraordinary human events, some of them most definitely not for the good. But no matter one's personal and political views, let us glory in the greatness that is the United States on this day. And enjoy the fireworks tonight.
