As a special treat today for Realtime fans and followers, we have Sammy Kaye’s Sunday Serenade. This is just a listen into the typical Sunday afternoon here in New York City as everyone enjoys their day of rest. [“Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye” my foot. He may sway, but he sure don’t swing. – Homer]

I wish there was a transcript

Judy Garland singing to the troops at Fort Ord on December 7, 41. I believe that qualifies as poignant.

I couldn't agree more.

Lol. It has been going pretty well overall I think.

Wow, what a bunch windbags,if you don’t know anything, make something up.

Germany ordered the Japanese to get into the war?

The Japanese used dive bombers so they must be copies of Junkers dive bombers?

It takes a while for him to get slapped down.

Lol. Fog of war and insta-punditry. Funny how it existed even back then.

I noticed that Jim need to reset the clock on his server. It's about 8 minutes fast.

Well, its 1:00am on the East Coast and this looks like the last update for this evening. Be sure to check back tomorrow as we continue our coverage of this most dastardly attack on Americans in the history of this country. We will sign off now with this compilation of the scenes from today's events in Hawaii. Goodnight.

My home schooled kids, who have learned to read and write from FR, are convinced it was the Germans who attacked Pearl Harbor. Now, what’s up with that?

[Enchante]

This thread is part of the ongoing daily FR history thread, but this one, on Pearl Harbor is special...great pics and audio/video links.

Could you put it into one of the sidebars..maybe FRONT PAGE..so that others who normally might not see it would do so this time..

Many thanks..

Only about an hour to go until the big speech.

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Thanks for the reminder, wagglebee. We better ping the list for this one.

SPECIAL REPORT! Joint Session of Congress – FDR Asks for Formal Declaration of War with Japan

In Obama’s ongoing presser at the white house on fox news right now, I thought I just heard him say that 12 year olds are responsible enough to handle the morning after pill without injuring themselves.

I wasn’t listening closely, but I’m sure it was something like that.
