Face Of A Nation

If America was a fine maiden, one as pretty as our nation is strong, would she now be in the twilight of her career? At 234 years of age, her face would no doubt show signs of ageing. She’d be slightly bruised and scratched up from a couple of recent cat fights – she doesn’t let shit slide, this America - but all in all, still in good fighting shape. Newly-formed bags under her eyes could be attributed to a bit of a recent rough patch; depression and anxiety prone, she struggles to maintain balance in a rapidly changing world. Problems she’s got a-plenty, from the financial to the medical. One amorphous black mass in particular, a mole of sorts, could really use a looking-at.

A wise man once taught her that everything is relative, and now she takes comfort in knowing that, although she may not be the young, charismatic America of old, the competition is just not all that hot. Take, for one, her very own mother, pale-faced and buck-toothed on her best day.

May July 4th, 2011, find us closer to recovery, and may next year’s fireworks be the real deal, unlike last night’s bullshit ass recession works.

Here’s to another year in America.
