January 16
People who blog know how it is, you get the itch to write a blog entry but you cruise the tubes and there's nothing going down. Oh, the usual shit is happening - we're in uncharted waters as we face financial meltdown, the most despised person on the planet and his massive posse are embarrassing themselves and our country in the middle east, vote fraud becomes more obvious day by day, war crimes continue - the same old stuff. The holiday insanity is thankfully over and we're in that part of the calendar where all we're doing is muddling through the doldrums, looking forward to better weather in the spring. So I decided to take a look at the 16th of January and see what kind of a day it is.
It's the 16th day of the year, 369 days to go before Pantload can't play president anymore.
Pretending to be King is exciting for Bubble Boy cuz he gets to issue proclamations and toss off signing statements galore to the peasants on any old subject. He thereby declares the 16th to be Religious Freedom Day, 2008, granting us permission to revere any old cloud being we choose.
1947 - hypocritical harpy Dr. Laura Schlessinger was born.
"On January 16, 1896, Henry F. Kallenberg, an instructor of physical education at the University of Iowa, welcomed Amos Alonzo Stagg, athletic director at the recently founded University of Chicago, to Iowa City for an experimental game in a new sport. The contest, refereed by Kallenberg, was the first unofficial college basketball game played with five players on each side. The University of Chicago won by a score of 15 to 12."
They used a soccer ball and peach baskets.
That great humanitarian Cristóbal Colón returned to Spain from his first voyage to the New World. So began the slave trade. Coincidently on this day in 1988, Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder was fired as a CBS sports commentator one day after telling a TV station in Washington, DC, that, during the era of slavery, blacks had been bred to produce stronger offspring.
Director John Carpenter was born in 1948. He went on to direct a documentary of the bushista era called "They Live".
One of the darkest days in history, this 16th of January. The 18th amendment, better known as prohibition, began in 1919.
