The Fourth of July needs a cute cuddly mascot. Christmas has Santa Claus, Easter has that whole bunny thing going, and St. Patrick’s day has those impish little leprechauns. Okay, I know – what about Uncle Sam? I’m as patriotic as the next guy but I always imagine Pa Kettle in a bad Elton John costume. It worked great in the 1940’s but now it just brings to mind old “Buy Bonds!” war posters. Maybe we could compromise and give Uncle Sam a mischievous sidekick – like a pyromaniac pet chimpanzee named Dubya. Hilarity would ensue every Fourth of July holiday as little Dubya blew up federally protected parks and planted firecrackers under the sacred Constitution. Heck, why settle for just the Fourth of July? We could keep little Dubya around all year! Maybe we could even keep him four years! C’mon, who doesn’t love a cute, innocent little monkey?
