Happy Independance Day.

A lot of people worked hard, suffered, and died to get us where we are. Our suffering thus far consists of bitching about the piss-poor quality of the people for whom we get to vote. Roll that one around in your head for a while, and see if you can scrape some irony off it. And read the Declaration of Independance today.

A bright spot

after the depressing loss of Sherrif Andy:

The Encheferizer. Type in what you want, or copy paste, and it will turn it into Swedish Chefspeak. Sample:

I’m a loomberjeck und I’m OoK, I sleep ell neeght und I vurk ell dey!

Bork! Bork! Bork!

Wow. Andy Griffith, dead at 86.

From “No Time for Sergeants” all the way through to his most recent work, I enjoyed him. Ears like the open doors on a taxicab, and a face that looked like he was related to Dresie and Casie, he was something apart from the usual. Rest in peace, boss.

Update: The comedy monologue that helped launch his career.
