Happy anniversary to Rome, which burned on this date in 64. That what Nero gets for fiddling with matches, or something.

Did NASA fake the first landing in 1969 to win the Space Race? Nah governments wouldn't do that. Ask Trump. You and your crazy conspiracy theories. Who do you think you are--Andy? Fake Crews

Happy anniversary to the passage of the first article of impeachment against Richard M. "Worst Quaker in History" Nixon, occurring on this date in 1974. Maybe if Nancy Pelosi had gotten off her thousand-year-old, obstructionist ass, we could be celebrating the passage of another article of impeachment today.

Happy Independence Day to Burkina Faso, who shook off the French yoke 59 years ago on August 5. Try to be a little less landlocked, next year, okay?

Sad, terrible, unhappy anniversary to the lifetime banishment of Pete Rose from Major League Baseball on this date thirty years ago. And no, I am not the least biased by the fact that the Cincinnati Reds are my favorite team, but Bart Giamatti can burn in hell.

Which reminds me: When I studied in and travelled across the USSR 30 years ago, there was one place whose inhabitants still held Stalin in high regard: Georgia.

Baseball is not communistic! If anything, it is just the oppposite.

Happy anniversary to Vesuvius--on this date in the year 79 it was like a human volcano at a zillion degrees, except, you know, a volcano volcano.
