Happy Birthday, USA.


Fourth of July reading, watching and listening:

Here in Philadelphia where it all began, National Park Service archaeologists continue their excavation of the "First White House." This patch of dug-up dirt has captured the interest and imagination of visitors in ways that no pre-packaged and Disnified multi-media "experience" can. (See the National Constitution Center and Liberty Bell facility.) A wonderful retort to the insulting proposition that history needs to be dumbed-down and spoon fed for people to enjoy it. link

Weird Deer has a set of USA-related recordings for you to listen. Can't go wrong with Cat Power. link

Thomas Jefferson and friends call out King George.

Keith Olbermann calls out King George.
