JULY 4th… MEANS HOT DOG TIME
During National Hot Dog Month in July, Americans eat two billion hot dogs.
On the July 4th holiday weekend alone, there are typically 150 million hot dogs eaten. So, no surprise here, but the NHDSC says three-fourths of Americans associate hot dogs more with the 4th of July than with any other holiday.
In a year, Americans eat more than 20 billion hot dogs. Over the course of the summer, Americans consume 7 billion hot dogs.
Is our love affair with the hot dog coming to an end? I don’t think so. In fact, I like hot dogs. They are fun to eat. Fun to cook. And I love sauerkraut. But it just seems like this product isn’t keeping up with the nutritional correction that’s taking place. Or are they, and we just haven’t tasted those “healthier versions” recently?
Hot dog makers have been reformulating their recipes over the past couple of years to produce lower fat and fat free hot dogs that these days taste very good. Just in time, as these products are registering a drop in sales. Is it that when it comes to eating what many think is America’s favorite fun food, eating healthy just doesn’t matter?
Or (more likely) is it that the healthier offerings just don’t taste as good?

July 4th, 1776
Today, marks 232 years after the signing of the U.S. Declaration of Independence; I read the document and can only conclude that Thomas Jefferson, the author, was one of the most brilliant statesmen our country has ever known. Below is an excerpt:
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self- evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

MY LIVING WILL
———————————–
—————————
Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, ‘I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.’
She got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my wine.
Sometimes wives can be bitchy!

ME MUDDER
When me prayers were poorly said
Who tucked me in me widdle bed
And spanked me till me ass was red,
Me Mudder!
Who took me from me cozy cot
And put me on the ice cold pot
And made me pee when I could not,
Me Mudder!
And when the morning light would come
And in me crib me dribbled some
Who wiped me tiny widdle bum,
Me Mudder!
Who would me hair so neatly part
And hug me gently to her heart
Who sometimes squeezed me till me fart,
Me Mudder!
Who looked at me with eyebrows knit
And nearly have a king size fit
When in me Sunday pants me shit ,
Me Mudder!
And when at night her bed did squeak
Me raised me head to have a peek
Who yelled at me to go to sleep,
Me Fadder!
