Streeter Seidell is a comedy writer and (mediocre) drummer living in Brooklyn, NY. During the day he edits the front page of CollegeHumor.com but when the sun goes down he takes his place at the helm of the Indablog. He maintains a personal blog at StreeterSeidell.com and wants to make sure you know he once wrote something for the New York Times and that it was, in the words of his mother, "Amazing! You're so talented!"

For any American Indabans on the site, happy Independence Day! For those of you who don't know, on July 4th, 1776, the US declared independence from Great Britain and we've been flying solo ever since (very solo lately, sadly). So, enjoy the long weekend and enjoy this Randy Newman song written during the Cold War (although it's just as applicable today). We may not be having the best time in this country right now, but we can at least have a sense of humor about it, right? A sense of humor is important, surely, but what's more important is that a few hundred years ago a lot of brave men fought so that we could stop spelling it 'humour.'

RE: Independence Day.
Happy July 4th Americans. While i dont entirely agree with the sentiments of the initial editorial comment, as a Brit i will die fighting to defend your right to say it, and yeah, 200 years ago many died for your liberation, but where were you in 1939 when Britain stood alone against tyranny? So spell 'humour' any way you like, it's still English, and please let's remember one thing: the USA never won any war alone, or 'flying solo' as you put it.

Totally agree Graham, and I think Streeter was being a bit sarcastic. As he said, it is indeed sad that we've been flying so solo lately...very sad.
