America

Independence Day. That time when Americans come together to celebrate our liberation from Great Britain, barbecue, and contemplate the depths of our disgrace. That last one has been a little easier to process thanks to Fox's Animation Domination High-Def, also known as ADHD, who've taken the theme song from the vintage Captain America animated series and replaced the lyrics with some shameful statistics collected from the CIA's World Factbook.

Q: Aside from Superman and Captain America what hero is the most fitting representation of The United States? -- @white_dolomite A: You know, just before I sat down to write this, I was reading some Judge Dredd comics and thinking about how fascinating the idea of Dredd as this distinctly, explicitly American icon, covered in eagles and flags and badges and guns and riding on a motorcycle that is also covered in eagles, flags, badges and guns is when you consider that he's a view of America created by people who aren't Americans. There's a lot that goes along with that, and it's fun to think about when you're reading through those stories and figuring out what defines them. But when you get down to it, that doesn't mean that he's the best representation of the good ol' USA. Assuming you mean "hero" as in "protagonist" and not just as in "masked crimefighter," then the answer's easy. The quintessentially American comic book character is Scrooge McDuck.

With recent information stating the demise of the DVD within the next 5 years, it comes as a big surprise to me that the majority of Americans still own a VCR.

I get it, the Fourth Of July is all about America!  And following your American dream sounds like a great way to celebrate America's independence and that's what I did.

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but it seems to me that many of today’s students just aren’t getting the kind of education that we did when we went to school.  The kind of basic knowledge that I would think would be a given, seems to be sorely lacking, like how many stars are on the United States flag,  and in what war did we gain our independence...

Lets face it - Flying sucks and it makes me angry!  Kendra Smash!  But sometimes you have to do it. So just suck it up and smile and get on your damn plane with your mouth shut!  However, this passenger did not follow my rules.
