First Impressions

So, you, the few, the proud, my fortunate Faithful Readers, will be lucky enough to get a little live-blogging of the Boston Pops Fireworks spectacular. The general lamosity of my parents, coupled with my general exhaustion from being up playing poker until 1 AM last night (thanks, Matt J, for that nice $40 contribution at the end of the night!), has led to a 4th night in the living room, rather than over at the Boulder County Fairgrounds to see the fireworks live.

Firstly, ummmm....CBS? This is the Fourth of July. It's, like, our country's birthday. It's kinda, sorta, stupid to have a Scottish guy MC'ing the event. I don't care if he's the host of your late late show and you think that putting him front-and-center will somehow get more people to watch. It's just unAmerican. And today, of all days, just find some mouth-breathing, corn-shucking American to host the damn thing.

And also, John Mellencamp sucks. He is not a 'superstar.' And that song, 'This Is Our Country'? It sucks so hard that Dyson is actually going to implement its sheet music in their next-generation vacuum cleaners. Please, stop.

Really. Stop. Please.
