Rather than taxing my heat-cramped brain by attempting to come up with a clever ‘why I’m not posting today’ post, here’s instead a smattering of July 4th postings from blogs around the way:

[Bill](http://www.wombatfile.com/archives/162.html#162 "Wombat File") sends wishes around the globe and urges an expat pal to blow something up (in a wholesome way, of course).

[Meg](http://www.megnut.com/events/007129.asp "Megnut") gives us a few suggestions about how we might celebrate domestically, and notes why.

[George](http://ghw.wordherders.net/archives/000441.html "george.h.williams") reminds us that the nation is largely an imagined community.

And [Fool’s Paradise](http://foolsparadise.org/ "Fool's Paradise") sends a message to the rest of the world. \[Warning: this link will likely only work today.\]
