Today in Twisted History

[Sapphocrat]

I have a nifty little gadget I give away for free on my "hobby site," which does double-duty for this avowed leftie (the meaning of which should become clear in a moment). It's a little piece of Javascript you can put on your site, or read on mine, every day, called "Today in Twisted History." Every day, you find out what weird stuff happened on this day in history. I mean really weird, from little green men stories to bizarre patents granted to shocking things the U.S. has done to other countries.

No, this really isn't a shameless self-plug -- I've offered this little freebie for the past, oh geez, three years, I guess, so if I wanted to mention it solely for the sake of free publicity, I probably would have done so long ago.

The reason I am finally mentioning it is that today's (19-Nov) entry contains a date I know y'all will enjoy to no end. (BIG HINT: 1962!)

Here's the link:

(Remember, after 19 November, the "history" will change -- so, sorry, Australians, you may have already missed it! LOL)

Would you folks enjoy it if I brought such "historical moments" to your attention as they occur? I can't promise to do it every day, but some days, I just won't be able to resist pointing out an especially embarrassing moment the Rotten Right would rather forget.

I don't know about you all, but reliving such moments as this one give me warm, left-wing fuzzies inside.

Lemme know!
