Yoo--hoo anybody home? In case you hadn't heard: It's Fourth of July !!! We are all in Fourth of July mode.

Is this blog planning on going into a 24-hour Fourth of July format?

Or perhaps, Althouse will be shutting down to honor the holiday.

In any case, it's Fourth of July, and I'd expect a Constitutional Law professor would have something to patriotic to say!

Oh Maxine, you silly goose!

(But by golly, there's no more patriotic insect for the Fourth of July than the fly, . . ., er, . . ., except maybe the mosquito.)

Double A I know you were an art major in college and you are a 60s music fan so you might like this and might want to post a blog on it.

It's pure genius. Watch it for the kick at the end.

I doubt that Ann is a fan of speed art, but then, she probably hasn't seen JAO at work. I first saw her at the Art Car parade in Minneapolis, where she did her work on the back of a truck, rolling down Lyndale Avenue.

Here she is in a calmer environment:

I liked the parade performance better.

And here's more examples of her work, if you care.

Nope. The honeybee is.
