Cousin: — What are humans celebrating today? Rat: — A revolution that happened long ago, and, frankly, didn’t quite live up to all the expectations. Cousin: — But is it worth celebrating then? Rat: — Yes, to remind yourself there’s still work to do.
We’re small rodents, and not particularly good with words (which is also the reason we’re late today). Stone Bryson puts it better than we ever could:
Truly did any think that the last decaying vestiges of the Founding Stock were settling us all into decadent retirement only from greed?
They understand the monsters they were lulling into sleep.
But no.
Not a moment’s peace.
Don’t delude yourselves wretched provincials of Europe and PACRIM that you made any decision but immediate political gains in the 90s when you could have kept half your defense outlays and broke free. Now the Gilded cage whose door was open is slammed shut, the Iron Gates closed, for we cannot escape.
You jest but More men and women that have shall weep than ever wept before…
As always, Rat RULES. My sentiments exactly, Rat. We need another revolution.
You’re in it Penelope, apparently unaware of Peril. Enjoy Grill Day.
Everything is worth celebrating, for the celebration alone (I just wish they could do it without fireworks, but I expect it to rain tonight LOL)
Cousin, in his gentle simplicity, somehow always asks the right questions 😁
Thanks, brother... 🙂
Excellent, mi hermanos ratoncitos ! And Stone says it very well.
Well said, Rat. Well said.
One perseveres in paradise !
Bravo!
Celebration
In which Rat thinks it's worth it
Good time of day, humans!
To our American friends this 4th of July.

The Grilling of Dogs n Burgers 🍔 like the making of Sausages is a rather gruesome matter… if one understands the meat is still alive.
The American Character once stood to his eternal duty of revolution and pointed at The Enemy is Cthulhu but conscious … in the worst possible way.
He cares.
Not the old Indifferent Cthulhu but a consciously caring Cthulhu.
We care. About. You.
We embrace our destiny and our destiny embraces you.
Worry not of Revolution.
You’re in it Now.
* Enemy. Why… anything in the way.
Oh Dear 🐀, 🇺🇸 we oh so know there’s work to do…
And you should have let us rest.
Truly did any think that the last decaying vestiges of the Founding Stock were settling us all into decadent retirement only from greed?
They understand the monsters they were lulling into sleep.
But no.
Not a moment’s peace.
Don’t delude yourselves wretched provincials of Europe and PACRIM that you made any decision but immediate political gains in the 90s when you could have kept half your defense outlays and broke free. Now the Gilded cage whose door was open is slammed shut, the Iron Gates closed, for we cannot escape.

Ask the Ukrainians. Fool.
Hurry, there’s not many left. Poland is next.
In fact Poland is now…
Do visit Poland while it’s still there…
