Would You Like Freedom Fries With That?
Tomorrow is Independence Day so let me start off this post with the most patriotic image ever!
Next, let me remind everyone that fireworks can be hazardous! Take this safety recall notice as an example (this is real btw):
Black Cat® Fireworks Recalls Fireworks Due to Injury Hazard
Hazard: The firework can produce a loud bang and unexpectedly scatter debris, posing an injury hazard to the user and bystanders.
Apparently the Consumer Product Safety Commission is now issuing safety recall notices for products that do exactly what they were intended to do!
Be safe this weekend and be sure to blow something up to celebrate your independence! God Bless the CPSC…I mean America (the country that funds the CPSC).

That image would be more patriotic if the eagle were clutching a writhing serpent in one foot, a dead terrorist in the other, and firing missiles from the tips of its wings…oh, and lasers from its eyes that were burning up hostile aliens.
USA! USA! USA!

The recalls don’t scare me. Tomorrow I intend to set off large amounts of loud, debris-shooting fireworks while baking cookies in a recalled Easy Bake Oven and licking the lead paint from Polly Pocket toys. Recall, schmreecall.

I think it needs more lens flares. And maybe some chrome effect text with a nice drop shadow.
Wait a minute… I just described the cover for my latest Justice O’Bannon novel, “And Justice for All: The O’Bannon Chronicles: The Series: A Talon Covenant Project: The Sequel: Part 2: A Justice O’Bannon (Member of the Talon Covenant) Novel, in 3 parts (2 of 3)”. I haven’t written it yet, but based on the title, it’s gonna be wicked awesome!

You are brave, Suzanne! We also enjoyed our exploding fireworks.
