"Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes." - Miss Ginny Stroud, Dazed and Confused (1993) 

If you want to beat the heat, stay inside and watch this classic about Texas high schoolers in the Summer of 1976! 

Happy 4th of July, y'all! How are you celebrating America's birthday? My roommates and I are hosting a party at our house. Here's a quick snapshot of our driveway lined with flags.
