Ain’t No Party Like a 5th of July Party (Open Thread)

It poured in our nation’s capital yesterday, washing out many a bbq and celebration. Despite the weather, the massive “Capitol Fourth” concert PBS broadcasts from the West Front of the U.S. Capitol went on as planned, unless you were watching at home and noticed the sky alternating between gray and clear…oh and that it was an entirely different year at times depending on whether or not there was scaffolding on the giant boob in which the giant boobs in Congress meet. The good news is that it led to this amazing tweet unironically reported by the Washington Post:

Feeling personally victimized by @PBS and #capitalfourth for using stock firework footage. It's cloudy and gross today not perfectly clear

Who else thinks that’s AMAZING? Show of hands?

Anyway, as far as I could tell from a quick glance at ESPN during breaks from work, only one NFL player was shot last night.  Good jorb, everyone!

Cubs have a day game, NBA and NHL free agency continue, I’m pretty sure Wimbledon is on but don’t understand tennis, and Tom Brady has quieted those rumors that his troll level would prompt him to speak at the Republican Convention to help anoint Drumpf. Too early for whisky?

I’m sure tonight’s regularly scheduled programming will contain more helpful information. I hereby declare this thread OPEN!
