The Declaration of Independence
The Declaration of Independence is still one of my favorite political documents. In fact, I have a copy of it hanging in my dining room. The Declaration was signed on the 4th of July, so what better topic to write about on America's birthday? I was planning on writing just such a post yesterday to celebrate the Declaration. Unfortunately, I need to do a lot of preparation before writing the post. That didn't happen. Instead, I'll start the prep now and you can read it next year.
Until then, this excerpt from P. J. O'Rourke is what I would have written if I had the time and I was a lot funnier than I am. Enjoy.
