Question of the Day - 4 July 2026

Happy Independence Day

Exactly 250 years ago, our Founding Fathers came together in Philadelphia to launch the American experiment. They were united in a belief that we're all endowed with certain unalienable rights. Today, we celebrate the vision of the Founders, the rights they enshrined, and the enduring experience of the United States of America.

Happy Fourth of July, everyone. Thanks for reading, as always, and as you're celebrating our nation's semiquincentennial, stay safe out there.

Has there been any further discussion on extending the taxi fare zones from the Strip to downtown?

Word of the day

I knew there had to be a Latin word for "250th," but I couldn't think of what it might be. But of course! Semiquincent...half of five hundred!

Bene dictum et gaudeamus!

Thanks

Currently traveling overseas (and seeing the differences both good and bad), I'm thankful to have been born in America. Despite our current state of affairs, I'm confident that one day we'll return to the standards that make us all proud to be American.

Happy Fourth!

perfect, all day I'll be walking around trying to remember to drop semiquincentenial on someone and I'll blank every time.  I'll blame the heat the beer and the hotdogs!

Taverns

With all the taverns, bars, speak-easies, and dives in Vegas, this little gem should resonate:
