Taking a break this year from our annual re-publication of the Declaration of Independence, to offer instead some of our favorite Independence Day/Weekend tweets so far this year. For the record, you can follow The BRAD BLOG on Twitter right here: @TheBradBlog. Hope you all have a safe and happy 4th! — Brad

    Re: RepJackKimble –

    L-O-F’n-L!

    Apparently, in The Last Supper, Kimble thinks Jesus is saying “Pass the Potato Salad.”

    How do these fuckwits get elected?
