"He filled his early plays, written in his new home, with violent young men and angry mobs."

Ultra-violence, Oh MY!

How did Shakespeare slip into the New York Times? Aren't there any commie birthdays to celebrate today?

[Verginius Rufus]

Yesterday was a biggie, Lenin's birthday...they should devote the whole weekend to celebrating that.

Today is the anniversary of when Harry S. Truman unilaterally began the Cold War, by speaking disrespectfully to Vyacheslav M. Molotov when he stopped in Washington 11 days after FDR's death. If only Henry Wallace had been kept on the ticket in 1944...there wouldn't have been a Cold War. Of course, by 1948 the Iron Curtain would have run along the Pyrenees.
