Ben Franklin is my favorite founding father, a champion of FREE speech and beer guts.
This is probably my favorite holiday, because it has to with being an American. That and you are not expected to do anything on this day, except drink beer and eat hot dogs, and maybe burn your hands on a firecracker. All other holidays expect something out of you, like going to church, giving gifts, or pretending you like your relatives.
PBR Silos, here I come!
