If only Jackie had sent this in last week; it could have been posted on the 4th. The bald eagle is one of those fascinating animals that could have gone extinct within our lifetime, had it not been through a lot of hard work by a lot of people. It was still on the endangered list up until 1995, and has since moved up to “least concern” on the conservation scale. If only the same could have been said for any of the other species that have gone extinct in the past 20 years.

While celebrating today, be sure to light off as many illegal fireworks as you can, while consuming copious amounts of alcohol, meat and deep fried foods.

Younger ModBlog readers may not get this reference, but anyone who has read anything on WWII knows that the original British Bulldog wasn’t a guy in tights. Winston Churchill was famously nicknamed the bulldog during the war by the Russians for his dogged determination in fighting the Nazis. Even when England was at it’s worst, he wouldn’t back down and with his ties to the US, was able to turn the tide and win the war. This particular portrait of Churchill as a bulldog was done by Rich Phipson who works at Star Crossed Tattoo in Hong Kong.

This past weekend Philadelphia was taken over by a veritable army of tattoo and body modification fans. From side-show acts, to an impromptu IAM fisting booth, the Sheraton was the hottest ticket in town. The stars of the show however were the tattoo artists. As with most conventions, there are awards given out in different categories over the course of the weekend. On Saturday, the winner of “Tattoo of the Day” went to Timmy B of Black 13 from Nashville, TN with this recreation of a Philadelphia landmark, the Liberty Bell.
With the Liberty Bell being a major US icon, it’s no wonder you’ll be able to find the full sized version of the photo in the political and patriotic tattoo gallery.
