Feliz Cumpleaños Estados Unidos!

So, today it's July 4th. Independence Day in the United States of America. It's basically their birthday. And just like all good birthdays, we're sure there'll be jelly, ice-cream, tantrums and tears. And hopefully cheese and pineapple on sticks everywhere - my favourite.
They're only a spritely 234 years old this year. Mere whippersnappers. And yet in such a short time, we've got a whole lot to thank them for: Amongst much else, they brought us TV dinners, Pitbulls and plastic cheese. Thanks guys!
We here at Gul Bude would like to wish all our cherished friends and family across the big blue pond a very Happy Birthday today...

...and point out that, had we really wanted your country, we'd have kept it.
