Launching Missiles

My neighbor uses the birthday of our great country to launch his version of WWIII every year. He and his numerous children go to the local fireworks stand and buy anything large, expensive and capable of scaring dogs (and some people) into running around the house panting. These are the missile type firecrackers that are outlawed in most civilized communities, but not here in the Wild, Wild West. After it is all over, he just leaves the debris in the cul-de-sac for someone else to clean up. It reminds me of the announcement Sarah Palin made yesterday. She launched the missile of stepping down from her post as Alaska's gov. with her numerous children standing by, and then just left the debris for others. Maybe she and my neighbor can meet at the local fireworks stand next year, as it appears she will have some time on her hands!
