President Barack Obama signed a joint resolution of the Senate and the House that made Casimir Pulaski an honorary citizen, 230 years after the Polish nobleman died fighting for the American colonies against the British.   In a statement released today, Senator John McCain said, "It was a privilege and honor for me to fight along side this brave man."

   Blissful supporters of President Barack Obama believe him to be a revolutionary leader every bit the equal of George Washington.

   This claim appears about half-right.

   Obama, after all, cannot tell a lie--from the truth. 

John McCain knows a lot about appropriate troop levels.   After all,  it was McCain who had called for more troops to be added to the American Army during the Revolutionary War.

Now I don't want to pontificate but why in a modern age are we bound by the shackles of  irrelevant guidelines so out dated they make Alexander Graham Bell's first prototypes look like an updated iPhone from the year 2025?

I mean seriously between the rules of religious documents from other millenniums to the regulations of legal documents from other centuries the newest code we follow is 6 months older than McCain's great-great grandfather's baby journal photos on papyrus.

Gandhi said, before you break the rules, you must know them. Well hey study time is over, final exams are graded and it's time to cut loose over Spring Break in Cancun, alright?

Hey, stop waiting for Godot, pick up the pen, and let's make these arbitrary absurdities less strict than Fellini as Drill Master Sergeant at Fascism boot camp.

Seriously folks, I mean, let's not cite from the Sex Pistol's lyrics or the pages of the Anarchist's Cookbook.

But let's face it people, wind your sundial from BC to digital with a little Abby Hoffman revolution or James Dean rebellion by declaring a new independence from the old Declaration of Independence.

Alright, hell the Old Testament was old since the birth of Christ. It's so old that we consider it's 2000 yr young sequel the NEW one, okay!

What I'm saying is, if we don't upgrade from all these ridiculous relic restrictions then we're a twelve sided dice piece and nerdy-anal-retentive-level 6-wizard of middle earth away from following more stupid instructions than a level-1-newbie-dwarf in a dictatorship of Dungeons and Dragons.

Bottom line and truth be told, times change, people change, and so should our hand books of social norms.

On the other hand I said I don't want to pontificate, so whatever, y'know?

will be Twittered, and wars will be Tweet-Ups.

A young Australian named Jason Belmonte is revolutionizing bowling by throwing the ball with both of his hands. His technique isn't expected to catch on in America since bowlers here like to have at least one hand free for their can of Old Milwaukee.

Cubans commerated the 50th anniversary of the Revolution with parades, fireworks, and raft building.

Think the U.S. is still number one?

The Chinese are buying Buicks.

We're buying bikes...

so we can pedal to the supermarket to buy a 1/2 a loaf a bread with food stamps.

And what goes well with bread?

Government cheese.

I'd really like corn on the cob but since the feds decided corn-based ethanol was a brillant solution to our oil addiction it's just too expensive.

The government will get my corn on the cob when they pry it from my cold hungry hand.

I'd like to join the revolution but only on a full stomach.
