Georgia should change its official nickname to “The Vigilante State.”

Think of how exciting all those sleepy magnolia-canopied streets are about to become with law and order — Dirty Harry style.

Out of my way, you punk!  Bam!

Let’s face it — just like everything else the Chinese have to come to own the Fourth of July.  We’re all getting punked big time.  We’re junkies.  Check out the label on the box where your American flag is stored.  You might be horrified to learn where Old Glory was made.  That’s right, even the fucking flags are made in China.
