Title: 7/4/2019 - Independence Day!
Post by: CigarBanter on July 04, 2019, 12:00:22 AM
Happy 4th of July!  Today, let's enjoy our families, cookouts, libations and cigars too.  We bitch and moan about cigar deals, commies, and even each other.  But thank goodness we get to bitch and moan because we're free to do so in the U.S.A.

Today is Thursday, July 4, the 185th day of 2019. There are 180 days left in the year. This is Independence Day.


Today's Highlight in History:
On July 4, 1826, 50 years to the day after the Declaration of Independence was adopted, former presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died.

On this date:
In 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by delegates to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia.
In 1802, the United States Military Academy officially opened at West Point, New York.
In 1817, ground was broken for the Erie Canal in Rome, New York. The middle section of the waterway took three years to complete; the entire canal was finished in 1825.
In 1831, the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe, died in New York City at age 73.
In 1872, the 30th president of the United States, Calvin Coolidge, was born in Plymouth, Vermont.
In 1910, in what was billed as "The Fight of the Century," black world heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson defeated white former champ James J. Jeffries in Reno, Nevada.
In 1939, Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees delivered his famous farewell speech in which he called himself "the luckiest man on the face of the earth."
In 1982, the space shuttle Columbia concluded its fourth and final test flight with a smooth landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne married his manager, Sharon Arden, in Maui, Hawaii.
In 1987, Klaus Barbie, the former Gestapo chief known as the "Butcher of Lyon", was convicted by a French court of crimes against humanity and sentenced to life in prison (he died in September 1991).
In 1997, NASA's Pathfinder spacecraft landed on Mars, inaugurating a new era in the search for life on the red planet. CBS newsman Charles Kuralt died in New York at age 62.
In 2013, Egypt's interim president, Adly Mansour, was sworn in following the ouster of Mohammed Morsi, the Islamist leader overthrown by the military after just one year in office.
In 2017, the United States confirmed that North Korea had launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, as the North had boasted and the U.S. and South Korea had feared. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called it a "new escalation of the threat" to the U.S.

Ten years ago: Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair was fatally shot in a Nashville condo by his mistress, Sahel Kazemi, who then killed herself. North Korea launched seven ballistic missiles into waters off its east coast. The Statue of Liberty's crown was reopened to tourists for the first time since September 11, 2001. Serena Williams beat her big sister, Venus, 7-6 (3), 6-2 for her third Wimbledon title and 11th Grand Slam championship.


Five years ago: Germany summoned the U.S. ambassador in Berlin after the arrest of a man reported to have spied for the United States, heightening friction between the two countries over alleged U.S. eavesdropping in Germany. Richard Mellon Scaife, 82, the billionaire heir to the Mellon banking and oil fortunes and a newspaper publisher who funded libertarian and conservative causes and various projects aimed at discrediting President Bill Clinton, died in Pittsburgh.


One year ago: British police said two Britons who fell critically ill in the town of Amesbury were exposed to nerve agent Novichok, the same material used to poison a former Russian spy in a nearby area months earlier. A protest against U.S. immigration policy forced the evacuation of the Statue of Liberty on the Fourth of July, with a group unfurling a banner from the pedestal and a woman holding police at bay for hours after she climbed the base.

Hot Dog Etiquette: Do’s and Don’ts during Fourth of July holiday

Don’t put hot dog toppings between the hot dog and the bun. Always “dress the dog,” not the bun.

Condiments should be applied in the following order: wet condiments like mustard and chili are applied first, followed by chunky condiments like relish, onions and sauerkraut, followed by shredded cheese, followed by spices, like celery salt or pepper.

Do serve sesame seed, poppy seed and plain buns with hot dogs. Sun-dried tomato buns or basil buns are considered gauche with franks.

Don’t use a cloth napkin to wipe your mouth when eating a hot dog. Paper is always preferable.

Do eat hot dogs on buns with your hands. Utensils should not touch hot dogs on buns.

Do use paper plates to serve hot dogs. Every day dishes are acceptable; china is a no-no.

Don’t take more than five bites to finish a hot dog. For foot-long wiener, seven bites are acceptable.

Don’t leave bits of bun on your plate. Eat it all.

Don’t use ketchup on your hot dog after the age of 18. Mustard, relish, onions, cheese and chili are acceptable.

Condiments remaining on the fingers after eating a hot dog should be licked away, not washed.

Do use multi-colored toothpicks to serve cocktail wieners. Cocktail forks are in poor taste.

Don’t send a thank you note following a hot dog barbecue. It would not be in keeping with the unpretentious nature of hot dogs.

Don’t bring wine to a hot dog barbecue. Beer, soda, lemonade and iced tea are preferable.

Don’t ever think there is a wrong time to serve hot dogs.

July is National Hot Dog Month, and the NHDSC said that some of the top hot dog consuming cities include: Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Phoenix, Atlanta, Detroit, Washington, DC, and Tampa.

The green iguana population is growing exponentially in Florida — and the state’s Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission wants them dead.

“Homeowners do not need a permit to kill iguanas on their own property, and the FWC encourages homeowners to kill green iguanas on their own property whenever possible,” a notice the commission’s website reads.

The directive also said the “invasive species” can be killed year-round without a permit on 22 public lands in south Florida.

So basically, the Sunshine State wants today’s sunrise to be each and every green iguana’s last.

2016:  Betsy Ross Flag Flew Over Barack Obama’s Inauguration

2019:  MSNBC guest Michael Eric Dyson compares the Betsy Ross American flag to the Nazi swastika and burning Ku Klux Klan crosses.

2019:  Democratic Presidential Candidate Julian Castro Compares Betsy Ross Flag To 'Painful' Confederate Symbols

And there are plenty more ignorant comments in 2019.
..... and that LGBGFY rainbow flag can fly anywhere.

Hot Dog Etiquette: Do’s and Don’ts during Fourth of July holiday

Don’t put hot dog toppings between the hot dog and the bun. Always “dress the dog,” not the bun.

Condiments should be applied in the following order: wet condiments like mustard and chili are applied first, followed by chunky condiments like relish, onions and sauerkraut, followed by shredded cheese, followed by spices, like celery salt or pepper.

Do serve sesame seed, poppy seed and plain buns with hot dogs. Sun-dried tomato buns or basil buns are considered gauche with franks.

Don’t use a cloth napkin to wipe your mouth when eating a hot dog. Paper is always preferable.

Do eat hot dogs on buns with your hands. Utensils should not touch hot dogs on buns.

Do use paper plates to serve hot dogs. Every day dishes are acceptable; china is a no-no.

Don’t take more than five bites to finish a hot dog. For foot-long wiener, seven bites are acceptable.

Don’t leave bits of bun on your plate. Eat it all.

Don’t use ketchup on your hot dog after the age of 18. Mustard, relish, onions, cheese and chili are acceptable.

Condiments remaining on the fingers after eating a hot dog should be licked away, not washed.

Do use multi-colored toothpicks to serve cocktail wieners. Cocktail forks are in poor taste.

Don’t send a thank you note following a hot dog barbecue. It would not be in keeping with the unpretentious nature of hot dogs.

Don’t bring wine to a hot dog barbecue. Beer, soda, lemonade and iced tea are preferable.

Don’t ever think there is a wrong time to serve hot dogs.

July is National Hot Dog Month, and the NHDSC said that some of the top hot dog consuming cities include: Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Phoenix, Atlanta, Detroit, Washington, DC, and Tampa.
Who puts celery on a hot dog?
