Happy Constitution Day!

Probably not a bad idea to refamiliarize ourselves with our founding document.

Today is also known as Citizenship Day, and is the 26th anniversary of the very day that Mrs. Paco was sworn in as a citizen at a big ceremony in the Orange Bowl in Miami, presided over by then-Vice President, George H.W. Bush. I recollect that on one of the national news shows that evening (I think it was NBC), Mrs. Paco was briefly caught on camera. Filling the screen for a few seconds, she was holding our four-year-old son. She had a big smile on her face, and Number One Son was waving a little American flag. A great shot.

What is this Constitution thing? You can't run a country like that! You need exotic, inspiration leaders of questionable provenance to run a country, with polished and worldly journalists to tell us how smart they are and wise latina judges to remember their peasant childhoods and tell us what they're doing is legal...

Happy Anniversary to Mrs. Paco! What a perfect day to be made a citizen!

The Heritage Foundation has pocket Constitutions that can be purchased, or you can usually get one from your elected official's office. Hillsdale College just started a class on the Constitution. Someone let Obama and the DNC know.
