This is how VI Day looks at my house.

If they're still up by the time we get back late tonight, well, maybe free speech isn't completely dead in Canada.

Also celebrating:

2597 days
without a terrorist attack on American soil.

Thank you to the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen of our nation and its Coalition partners.

Thanks to a handful (small, perhaps) of steadfast, occasionally visionary politicians, not least among them

SENATOR JOHN S. MCCAIN, AND

PRESIDENT
GEORGE W. BUSH
