#1:  That stupid hot dog eating competition, sponsored by someone who I don’t care to remember that deals in hot dogs, shown on ESPN 2 or thereabouts.

#2:  The most jingoistic movie of the last decade and a half: Independence Day.  There is much to be said about this movie — how it was basically billed as a huge budget B-Movie and you have to suspend disbelief in the multitude plot holes and leaps of faith the audience is supposed to make, but what I will say is that it is a fun movie to watch with a foreigner, who won’t help but get a little mad at some of the relentless panderings to American.

I already celebrated Canada Day, so I think I’m fully covered for Independence Day.   When’s Bastille Day?
