God Bless This U.S.A.

Okay, it's not strictly having to do with the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, but is it sad that the thing that makes me feel the most patriotic is the fact that the Americans have finally recaptured our position as the most gluttonous people on earth, winning the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest for the first time in like 6 years?

66 hot dogs. With buns. In 12 minutes. You can keep your four-minute mile. This is a real athletic accomplishment.
