DJ YOYO JO-Z: Yo, I threw a party at my house and everybody came. It
was insane dancin' all day and all night. The cops tried to break it up three times but we held our
ground. They kept tellin' us to turn the music down, but we kept turnin' it up. Finally the whole
neighborhood quit complainin' and just showed up to party. We even told the cops to stick around and
have a good time so it was all good. |

MR. BIG BIZ: I spent the weekend with my wife and seven kids at the club house.
One of our properties is an island off the coast of Florida where we have a little mansion with a club house
on the other side of the golf course. We flew in some of our friends from overseas for a little get together.
We had an incredible fireworks display that lit up the entire sky. It was just fabulous. |
 |
JENNIFER: I went to go see Fahrenheit 911 again to check on the facts. There has
been some talk in the media by some of the conservative hot heads that the movie is full of factual errors.
So I tried to take notes and keep track of the errors, but I couldn't find any. The news clips speak for themselves. |

LEFT GUARD LARRY: I played football with some friends at the park. We had a little
game of five on five. We played tackle in our street clothes - with no pads or nothin'. Man it was so fun, I tell you -
except for my sprained ankle. Man, I ain't got medical insurance either, cuz my job is under the counter, see. So it's
all messed up, but the game was a classic. |
 |
BROKER BOB: Well, the market was closed, so I pretty much did nothing. All you can do
when the market is closed is either put in orders and wait or just go back and analyze data. I prefer to compare annual reports with the quarterlies to get a good feel for the numbers. |
 |
SKULL MADISON: I celebrated the history of America. After all, I was there in the beginning. My favorite period is 1776 thru the Civil War, when I used to be a slave owner. You know after the Civil War,
America just wasn't the same. (begins singing) I wish I were in dixie, hooray, hooray. |
 |
WORKER JOE: Man, I had to work. I don't get holidays off. Man, I work in a shop and I'm over-worked and under-paid. I don't live in a world where you can just do what you want or take days off. I come in even when I'm sick. So really it was just like any other day for me. |
 |
COLLEGE STUDENT: I just stayed home and studied. I'm taking summer classes because
I have to get some requirements out of the way. One of the classes I'm taking is American History. You know it doesn't
seem like very many talk about America's history on America's birthday. I happen to think we have a great country because
we're allowed to have different points of view about our country, even its history. I think anyone who thinks you're only
allowed to have one view of America is someone who doesn't belong here. This country is for free-thinkers who question
their government, just like Thomas Jefferson said. America is about the people, not the government. |

JOHN SKERRY: I told you Kerry should pick Edwards as his running mate. I followed the story
all weekend. It was fun to listen to the rumours on talk shows. It was no mystery to me, though, I knew it was going to be Edwards all along. Kerry needs to carry at least one state in the South and North Carolina just put us over the top. Now I'd like to make an even bolder prediction: Kerry-Edwards will be the winning ticket. |
 |
GOOFBALL GREG: I blew off a finger from lighting a firecracker. It was the weirdest thing.
Same thing happened to me last year. I guess that's just the price for freedom and I'm willing to pay it. |

SARA MOTH: I got a DUI. I had been drinking wine all day and I just went out to go to the store real quick right before 2 in the morning. The cop said I was swerving but he was a jerk who was just making up a bunch of stuff just to make it look worse than it was. I can't believe I spent the night in jail and no one would bail me out.
They all accused me of being bipolar, those idiots! I hate them all. Now I'm going to lose my license and I have to take classes. How am I going to hide this from my kids? I'm very bitter about this. Free country? Yeah, right. |
