Howdy America… what’s the craic? Doing well? Good stuff… Okay, first off… this is your day… Happy Independence Day! You’ve been free from British rule for 232 years… go you! Don’t get TOO drunk now… (of course, for most of you, that means four beers)… Secondly… Forget Obama, Forget McCain… here’s the guy you want to vote for to replace George W. Bush with! Yeah… it’s Zaphod Beeblebrox! He’s a real switched-on hoopy frood who knows where his towel is… AND… he has an inspirational and uplifting campaing song…

… and yes, that’s good old Neil Hannon of the Divine Comedy on the vocals!

(This is a Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy joke. If you’ve read/seen/heard it, you’ll get it. If you haven’t read/seen/heard it, go read, see and hear it now!)

Every year, on this day, Google makes a big announcement about their plans for the future and this year is no exception… behold! Virgle! Their combined effort with Virgin promises “The Adventure of Many Lifetimes” - bringing people from Earth to populate the first permanent colony on the planet Mars!

Of course… they’ve done this before…

And Google aside, there’s a Top 100 which is worth a read.

Have a good one!
