Best Liberal Quote of the Day: On Women & Men "What is now called the nature of women is an eminently artificial thing—the result of forced repression in some directions, unnatural stimulation in others." — John Stuart Mill
Stupidest and/or Scariest Quote from the Right for the Day: On The Clouded Crystal Ball "David Asman, Host: But, Rich, you don't want—you don't want to do these make-work programs, these phony government programs where they manufacture jobs.
Rich Karlgaard, Forbes Publisher: No. No. No. I'll tell you exactly what I would do. You know, when a white collar person loses his or her job, they become a consultant. So what I would do is give massive tax breaks to people who are establishing home offices and trying to become consultants. This is what we need to do . . ." — "Forbes on Fox," Fox News Channel, 9-6-03.
Dumbest Thing Said for the Day: From the world of Sports "A nickel isn't worth a dime today." — Few sports figures—and indeed, few figures of any endeavor—have achieved the verbal notoriety of Lawrence "Yogi" Berra, former catcher of the New York Yankees. This is one of the indescribable utterances of Hall of Shame member #6.

Happenings at This Day in History
About a year ago I stopped making regular updates to this blog to concentrate on my Namnesia Antidote blog. While that is an ongoing effort, I am starting what should be about a year long effort to revitalize the concept of a "This Day in History" blog. I have decided to leave this blog intact and as-is, using a new "This Day in History 2.0" blog for my expanded and full version. Please feel free to email with your ideas. The two tables below should allow you to find a posting for the "Day in History" you wish to research.
