The Fourth of July Edition of the RINO Sightings Carnival is being hosted by Barry Campbell at enrevanche.

The RINOs epitomize political dissent (trust me, you really have to be a dissenter to embrace terms of derision), and I can't think of a better way to celebrate the Fourth of July.

There's good stuff there too.

The one and only Rusty Shackleford is back after surviving a huge DDOS attack ("a cyberterrorist attack launched by Turkish Islamists"). Be sure to catch up with the whole blog.

I love the idea of getting revenge on spammers, and the Commissar links to what looks like a wonderful post explaining how. The problem is, the link won't open right now, which makes me worry that the spammers are fighting back. (Well, I've proposed a classical final solution, but I guess some things are too old-fashioned. Besides, the ACLU is against crucifixes, right?)

Enough of my spoilers. Read the rest yourselves.

As Barry concludes, "Eat some hot dogs, drink some beer, and go see some fireworks."

But, as Don Surber advises, "please stay sober if you're going to blow shit up."
