This Day in History



1920
The League of Nations was established as the Treaty of Versailles went into effect.
Guarantees that diplomacy will replace war in the future.

1946
The first General Assembly of the United Nations convened in London.
Hundreds of wars and genocidal events soon follow.

1964
The Beatles' first album in the United States, "Introducing the Beatles," was released.
Liberals warn that English imports will put Motown out of business.

1967
Republican Edward W. Brooke of Massachusetts, the first black elected to the U.S. Senate by popular vote, took his seat.
Yes. He was a Republican.

1978
The Soviet Union launched two cosmonauts aboard a Soyuz capsule for a rendezvous with the Salyut VI space laboratory.
One small step towards bankruptcy for the USSR.

2000
America Online agreed to buy Time-Warner for $162 billion.
In AOL stock....doh!

2003
North Korea withdrew from a global treaty barring it from making nuclear weapons.
Liberals shocked, shocked!

2005
CBS issued a damning independent review of mistakes related to a "60 Minutes Wednesday" report on President George W. Bush's National Guard service and fired three news executives and a producer for their "myopic zeal" in rushing it to air.
Liberals still stand by the "essence" of the fabrication.

2006
Iran resumed nuclear research two years after halting the work to avoid possible U.N. economic sanctions. The move was denounced by the United States and European governments.
Iran "shocked" by denunciations. Decide to double their research. Invite Maddie Albright over for tea.

2007
President George W. Bush announced he would send 21,500 additional U.S. forces to Iraq to quell violence there.
Son of a gun, it worked!
Liberals ban war reports in MSM
