How did you spend the Fourth of July? Maybe having a BBQ with friends and family, watching a fireworks show, and generally enjoying a happy patriotic holiday? Batshit-insane American Quitter Sarah Palin ended her own special “Independence Day” by posting a series of desperate grammar-challenged nonsense and vicious threats on her Facebook and Twitter pages. Really.

(Also: Sarah, you idiot, when do you plan to give up your Twitter name AKGovSarahPalin? Because, you know, you just quit being governor ….)

STATUE OF LIBERTY PICTURES: Rare Views, Inside and Out
Circa-1930 tourists peer out of the Statue of Liberty’s crown at a photographer on the torch, which has been closed to the public since a 1916 explosion on a nearby island. From the flame’s tip to the ground is 305 feet (93 meters). Cradled in the statue’s left arm is a tablet bearing the date of U.S. independence in Roman numerals: July IV, MDCCLXXVI. Independence Day 2009 will see the reopening of the Statue of Liberty’s crown.

I really considered getting agitate. What a great vanity number for someone like… well, not me.

It spells “NOT-GEEK” and it’s a local number, which is important for analog friends who still don’t get that they aren’t charged extra for making a long distance call.
The domain is not active either. I think I’m gonna make an offer on it. I mean, I’m not a geek, right? ;-)
