I love subverting a major holiday.

The 4th of July is an easy fête to revolutionize. Everyone loves the summer food, the fireworks,1 the lingering warm nights.

But the hypocritical Independence Day proclamations, and the rabid Christian nationalism, have got to go. Let’s heat it up!

(C)Al Frisbee, Susie and Jon and Mr. Serpent at Mercy Hot Springs — Don’t be afraid of garter snakes— or 4th of July parties. Make your own devil’s picnic . . .
