Today In Twisted History
JANUARY 26


I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.

-- Bill Clinton, today in 1998


Happy Independence Day to all our mates Down Under! Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oy! Oy! Oy!*


1784: Ben Franklin proposes turkey as U.S. symbol, calls bald eagle 'bird of bad moral character.'


1926: J.L. Baird presents demonstration of television in London.

* Technically, Australia Day was really yesterday, since today is tomorrow Down Under, and yesterday is today, and if you think that's easy to remember all the time, especially when Oz goes off Daylight Savings Time and the U.S. goes on, and vice versa...!

It is/was also foreigncorrespondent's mother's b-day. So, Happy Birthday to my future Mum-in-law!

1. And what was even more...
...stupid with this years Aussie day celebrations was, they had the Australia day concert and the crowning of the Australian of the year on Sunday, rather than ysterday.

We reckon it is because litle Johnnie fuck face wanted to go to the cricket yesterday. And if he had to go do the Aussie day honors then he wouldn't have been able to go to the cricket. LOL

I will show mum this when she gets home from work tonight. Thank you! :):):)
