On this day...

1847 Thomas Alva Edison's birthday

1960 Jack Paar walks off The Tonight Show
Jack Paar, host of NBC's The Tonight Show, walks off the program to protest censorship on this day in 1960. NBC had recently started taping the show, rather than airing it live, and censors now had the power to edit segments. Infuriated when censors cut a joke about a "water closet," claiming it was in poor taste, Paar stormed off the set in tears and did not return to the show for a month. Oh brother have we come a long way in the wrong direction...

Good morning! We are getting heavy *S* here right now, about 2 inches since I took the dog out at 5AM.

I think today is a great day for me to make chili.

This is an interesting essay by an unknown author. It makes a case for war, and discusses why the Arab culture hates us. Lots of thought-provoking ideas in it, and I recommend reading it when you have time (it is pretty long):
