Today we celebrate our INDEPENDENCE DAY SALE!
The Recombobulation Area is back to being fully independent. Perhaps it's fate that today is 30 years since the release of "Independence Day" because now, we are offering a special 50% off (!) sale.
The Recombobulation Area is a 19-time 21-TIME! Milwaukee Press Club award-winning opinion column and online publication founded by Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer.
Folks, sometimes things line up just right.
Yesterday, we shared the news that The Recombobulation Area is returning to its roots as an independent publication. And tomorrow is Independence Day here in the good old U-S-of-A. And the 1996 classic film “Independence Day” was released on July 3, 1996 — 30 years ago today — and as those who have followed me on social media for years know, that is my favorite movie.
The stars really have aligned. So, we’re going to celebrate our independence, this nation’s independence, and the 30th anniversary of the release of “Independence Day” with our own special INDEPENDENCE DAY SALE!
