The United States of America is 250 years old! Which makes it not quite as old as this TLCB Writer’s church. Still, a quarter of a millennium is worth a party, and what better way to do that than by renaming an airport, starting a war with Iran, and putting a slightly crap fair on the National Mall. Or, alternatively, building a giant gatling-gun-armed mech with George Washington’s face on it! Flickr’s Julius von Brunk knows how to celebrate a semiquincentennial anniversary and you can join him on the Whitehouse Lawn via the link above! USA! USA!
