An apple pie in an Uncle Sam top hat whose top unhinges and detonates a 40-minute fireworks spectacular. Well, is there? The imagery that follows turns the America up to 11, rips off the knob, and throws it into the cockpit of an F-16 headed for the deck of the USS Mission Accomplished: children sprinting through a sepia-toned instafilter to a dusty gas station a diner called DINER serving up home-style cooking with a pot of hot coffee the silhouette of a carnival ride at any state fair of your choosing a fastball engulfed by lens flare.
