Bob: No response necessary. The "patriotic" thing as suggested by our "champion" is apoplectic. But then, after a fifth of Johnny Walker red, anyone else to blame is better than the guy in the mirror. The best excuse for this crowd which can't shoot straight is not to let them play with the fireworks.
