The website is frankly embarrassing. This event for "A Monumental Salute to America" says it's at the Lincoln Memorial, shows a stock photo of the Supreme Court, and still has [object Object] placeholder text.

I am actually kind of dumbfounded by how unorganized all of the America250 stuff is. The average wedding is 50x better planned than this thing.

People complained that college football has too many ads so they just made the whole thing one big ad. Bold strategy.

Nevertheless, Very Smart Businesspeople assure me that this is an absolute triumph in consumer product marketing and sports.

The "devil wagons" placard in that exhibit might be my favorite in the whole museum.

If a politician says inflation is "only" 2 percent and the voters' response is "then why is everything more expensive than it's ever been?" the two sides aren't speaking the same language.

Dollar dogs in this economy??
