What kind of idiotic failed insult is that? What is it even supposed to mean? Are you under the impression that the left doesn’t like fireworks, baseball, and cookouts? You are so delusional. Completely bat shit crazy.

It’s the right that hates democracy and America. They tried to overthrow the elected government and make us a dictatorship.

4th of July is coming and democracy still exists in America, the left will celebrate….you mad Righties? I know you would prefer to be celebrating Jan 6 as the birthday of your nation, but you failed.

Hah, that park was like my second home when I lived in SF. 4th of July is crazy in Dolores. Glad to see it hasn't been completely taken over by Zuckerberg's reptilian entourage.

Trump said on live tv,that George Washington...had airplanes. Imagine if obama gave a live 4th of July speech. And said,George Washington....had airplanes.

I call bullshit. There have already been over 2000 bombs detonated for testing. Though most countries stopped doing surface, ground, underwater and atmospheric tests after the NTB, that still leave a lot of bombs detonated on the surface. I had a quick look at just US tests, and in the late 50s through early 60's, we were setting them off like fireworks on the 4th of July, with almost 100 detonations at the Nevada Test Site alone between 1962-1963.

I live in Chicago, and as a result, have a pretty good idea where those fireworks are coming from in relation to Wrigley Field, and I can only think, "Wow. It's November 2, and you have illegal fireworks laying around, presumably left over from the 4th of July when you got too drunk to finish setting them off."

Or there's the very real possibility that they had a strategic reserve of fireworks on the off chance that the Cubs ever won the World Series, which, if true, is more astonishing that any went off.

I have been really busy with my job. I will be on a mini vacation after the 4th of July.

So just perpetual expansion for ever and ever? I don't know why having a balanced budget is such a bad thing. Increasing the money supply simply devalues all the existing money, essentially a property tax.

I wish she had used some real numbers, say it's 2030 and the debt is 26 trillion, and you are starting to get some huge deficits to pay for social security. Keep borrowing and by 2050 pay 50% of your budget in interest payments? Start printing money and by 2050 have an inflation rate of 8%? If the gov't needs to run continual deficits, why not just keep a balanced budget then drop cash out of helicopters on the 4th of July? Same money added to the system.

Really disappointed she didn't mention the Federal Reserve. Why is the US paying interest to a private entity that creates money out of thin air? Are they more credit worthy than a government that can also create money out of thin air?

Greetings to you in Columbus from Canton. Ohio does have a decent rock history beyond just the rock hall... Chrissie Hynde, DEVO, Trent Reznor (technically from PA, but his NIN project started in Cleveland, so I count him as Ohio), Marilyn Manson, and Black Keys just to name ones off the top of my head... John Legend... of course there's also Dean Martin but he's not rock... I know there's more... I was last in Columbus for the 4th of July for the Columbus Crew game that day.

*promote on the 4th of July here Stateside...

OMG nostalgia! I lived not even 20 minutes from there when I was a kid. I almost got killed in the parking lot there on the 4th of July once when a firework exploded right after launch and sent fiery fragments out into the crowd (one of them smashed the windshield of the car next to me). I also remember totally wanting to go on the Cannonball loop but my parents wouldn't let me (in hindsight probably a good decision on their part).

Motorworld there was awesome--it was across the street from Action Park and I think run by the same people. They had these cage-enclosed go-karts tanks equipped with compressed-air tennis ball cannons and sensors that stopped the tanks temporarily if they got hit by a tennis ball. You could pay to drive the tanks around inside an enclosed arena or you could also shoot at the tanks from the outside of the arena using air-cannon turrets that required quarters to operate. Tons of fun.

Mostly, though, I went to the water park, which according to Wikipedia had the most casualties. I got a fair amount of scrapes from the waterslides and I can totally see how people could get seriously injured on some of them.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Siftbot - I know you are a tin-plated patriot - happy 4th of July to you and put this on the *frontpage already.

*fire, euphemistic and for the 4th of july

I've made homemade napalm similar to this except we took a whole lot of styrofoam and dissolved it into gasoline 5 gallon bucket.

kept dissolving it until it wouldn't dissolve anymore.


Then a buddy of mine that flies a homemade ultralight loaded it up, and flew over the field, he's retired air force and has degree in electronics engineering, and built the timer device and did all the fine tuning solder work on the detonator and man it was the best 4th of july homemade napalm burn ever!

hehe, we used the napalm goop and filled small bottles that would eject from the 5 gallon bucket and it looked like a mini napalm spread just like from some vietnam war movie.

needless to say homemade explosions and pyrotechnics are fun

want to fill an entire block with thick white smoke? but it also smells like cotton candy

coke can, cut top off, mix half sugar, half potassium nitrate (aka salt peter sold over the counter at any drug store) mix or shake it together, then just light with lighter.

will fill a block with thick white smoke

She's skilled, but not the best I've seen.
My former raver best man did better, off the cuff, with fireworks this last 4th of July.


No video, it didn't happen.
