Morning, all! Went to see Beauty & The Beast yesterday in 3D with a girlfriend. It certainly lives up to its promotion. I thought I was too old and jaded to get teary eyed and sniffley at a romantic movie, but this one really sucked me in. Don’t even mess with 2D. The woman walking out the door in front of me – who was sniffling too, by the way – asked her husband if they could come see it a couple more times. Then she turned to me and asked if this was the first time I’d seen it. She said they’d been to the 2D version first and there was no comparison. I can’t imagine there was.

Mornin’ All!! For your reading enjoyment, we present to you
This Day in (Mostly) American History: March 23
1775: Patrick Henry proclaims “Give me liberty or give me death” in speech in favour of Virginian troops joining US Revolutionary war During a speech before the second Virginia Convention, Patrick Henry responds to the increasingly oppressive British rule over the American colonies by declaring, “I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” Following the signing of the American Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, Patrick Henry was appointed governor of Virginia by the Continental Congress.
1836: Coin Press invented by Franklin Beale
1839: First recorded use of “OK” [oll korrect] (Boston’s Morning Post) OK was propelled into the limelight when it was printed in the Boston Morning Post as part of a joke. Its popularity exploded when it was picked up by contemporary politicians. When the incumbent president Martin Van Buren was up for reelection, his Democratic supporters organized a band of thugs to influence voters. This group was formally called the “O.K. Club,” which referred both to Van Buren’s nickname “Old Kinderhook” (based on his hometown of Kinderhook, New York), and to the term recently made popular in the papers. At the same time, the opposing Whig Party made use of “OK” to denigrate Van Buren’s political mentor Andrew Jackson. According to the Whigs, Jackson invented the abbreviation “OK” to cover up his own misspelling of “all correct.”
1840: John William Draper takes first successful photo of the Moon (his daguerrotype of his wife was the first clear photograph of a woman’s face)
1857: Elisha Otis installs his first elevator at 488 Broadway in New York City
1858: Streetcar patented (E A Gardner of Philadelphia)
1867: Congress passes 2nd Reconstruction Act over President Andrew Johnson’s veto
1868: University of California founded (Oakland California)
1880: Flour rolling mill patented (John Stevens of Wisconsin)
1889: President Harrison opens Oklahoma for white colonization
1896: The Raines Law is passed by the New York State Legislature, restricting Sunday sale of alcohol to hotels.
1901: Dame Nellie Melba, reveals secret of her now famous toast
1903: Wright brothers obtain airplane patent
1910: First race at Los Angeles Motordrome (First US auto speedway)
1917: Tornadoes kills 211 over 4 days in Midwest US. Until this time, it was believed Omaha was protected from tornadoes by the flat lands of Nebraska. One tornado was on the ground in Omaha for 12 minutes.
1919: Mussolini founds the Fascist party. Benito Mussolini, an Italian World War I veteran and publisher of Socialist newspapers, breaks with the Italian Socialists and establishes the nationalist Fasci di Combattimento, named after the Italian peasant revolutionaries, or “Fighting Bands,” from the 19th century. Commonly known as the Fascist Party, Mussolini’s new right-wing organization advocated Italian nationalism, had black shirts for uniforms, and launched a program of terrorism and intimidation against its leftist opponents. Initially, Mussolini, who was appointed prime minister at the head of a three-member Fascist cabinet, cooperated with the Italian parliament, but aided by his brutal police organization he soon became the effective dictator of Italy. In 1924, a Socialist backlash was suppressed, and in January 1925 a Fascist state was officially proclaimed, with Mussolini as Il Duce, or “The Leader.”
Mussolini appealed to Italy’s former Western allies for new treaties, but his brutal 1935 invasion of Ethiopia ended all hope of alliance with the Western democracies. In 1936, Mussolini joined Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in his support of Francisco Franco’s Nationalist forces in the Spanish Civil War, prompting the signing of a treaty of cooperation in foreign policy between Italy and Nazi Germany in 1937. Although Adolf Hitler’s Nazi revolution was modeled after the rise of Mussolini and the Italian Fascist Party, Fascist Italy and Il Duce proved overwhelmingly the weaker partner in the Berlin-Rome Axis during World War II.

1983: Regan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (“Star Wars”) Reagan became enamored with an idea proposed by some of his military and scientific advisors, including Dr. Edward Teller, the “father of the hydrogen bomb.” What they proposed was a massive program involving the use of antimissile satellites utilizing laser beams or other means to knock Soviet nuclear missiles out of the sky before they had a chance to impact the United States. Reagan therefore called upon the nation’s scientists to “turn their great talents” to this “vision of the future which offers hope.” He admitted that such a highly sophisticated program might “not be accomplished before the end of this century.”
Some scientists indicated that even if the SDI were able to destroy 95 percent of Soviet missiles, the remaining five percent would be enough to destroy the entire planet. Nevertheless, Congress began funding the program, which ran up a bill of over $30 billion by 1993 (with little to show for the effort). The Soviets were adamantly opposed to SDI, and a 1986 summit meeting between Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev ended acrimoniously when Gorbachev demanded that talks on arms control were contingent on the United States dropping the SDI program. By December 1987, Gorbachev-desperately in need of a foreign policy achievement and eager to reduce his nation’s burdensome defense budget-dropped his resistance to the SDI program and the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty was signed. The Strategic Defense Initiative never really got off the ground–by the mid-1990s, following the collapse of the Soviet Union and with costs skyrocketing, it was quietly shelved.
1983: First Artificial-heart patient dies On March 23, 1983, Barney Clark dies 112 days after becoming the world’s first recipient of a permanent artificial heart. The 61-year-old dentist spent the last four months of his life in a hospital bed at the University of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake City, attached to a 350-pound console that pumped air in and out of the aluminum-and-plastic implant through a system of hoses.

Stella has suggested Tara Ross’ website for more detailed American History. Ms. Ross is an author and a constitutionalist who publishes, on her website, “This day in American History”. She writes quite well and I’ve also become a fan. While, because of time issues, I cannot incorporate Ms. Ross’ writings here, I do suggest subscribing to her web newsletter for historical information in depth in your morning email. The signup for her newsletter is at http://www.taraross.com/
Text within this post is taken, in whole or in part, from the websites History.com and Onthisday.com and is fair use for educational purposes.
And, because I knew you’d ask: . Melba toast is made by lightly toasting slices of bread under a grill, on both sides. The resulting toast is then sliced laterally. The thin slices are then returned to the grill with the untoasted sides towards the heat source, resulting in toast half the normal thickness. Enjoy!

Melba was a girl in my 5th grade art class. So black she had a purple shine. We were using the kiln, pressing oak and maple leaves into clay, cutting them out, and baking them, and engraving our names on the back of them first. Melba messed hers up, and stole mine, and put her name on it. My mom still has it. It still says “Melba” on the back.

Today should be interesting on the political landscape. Discussion next door about letter to Nunes, vote on Healthcare Insurance. AHCA, I think it will squeak by.
Having had healthcare in my face the last few days, sitting in a hospital, the one thought that keeps coming back is that our Government just needs to get out of the business, they are messing things up to a fare thee well. Look back 10 years, and look now,,,, what is the huge improvement?? The middle class is hurt bigly… that is the change. Sorry, but that’s how I see it.

Agreed, government needs to be almost all ‘out’ of healthcare though. Having worked with the health insurance pukes at the corporate and Fed side I’d suggest that people with a knowledge of what they’re doing (a rarity on the Fed side) monitor the civilian insurance industry to make sure it doesn’t revert to its nstural predatory, bottom feeding, bloodsucking self. You’d no more leave the health insurance industry to itself than you would leave a 5-year old alone in a candy store, tney both need responsible adult supervision.

Yup, they’re both bloodsuckers but the health insurance companies are akin to Count Dracula while the Feds are more like fleas and deer ticks.
A lot of that hell is caused by the insurance companies trying to find ways to wriggle around government rule making and maintaining their profit margins. Just look at laser surgery. Docs and, to some extent, Feds have been pushing for insurance companies to accept laser surgery as, in some cases, a safer and more efficacious treatment but most laser surgery isn’t covered as the companies rule it ‘new and experimental’ even though it’s been around for over 30 years. So far laser surgery is largelymout while insurance company profits are up. Your life and comfort versus their profit margins with Congress aitting by thevtable begging for scraps.
Insurance companies shoehorn fees into customers’ accounts when and wherever they can while sliding emoluments to Congressjerks who generally side with insurance companies over the Great Unwashed – go back to laser surgery. Quick, Henry, the Flit!

Health insurance won’t pay experimental even if it’s cheaper and known more effective than traditional stuff as if they touch one ‘experimental’ they fear they’ll be stuck with them all. I can get my back surgery do by laser or conventional surgery. In conventional it takes hours as they have to shear thru tissue and bone, risking further injuries to my spinal cord. In laser they make a 1-inch incision, snake thru some spaces in the soine and vaporize the offending tissue, all in an hour or two. Conventional ‘adverse events’ are roughly three times that of laser. Conventional recovery is months, in laser I’m up that day, have to have a two day stay and have a followup. But insurance won’t pay for laser.
You remember how long it took for the insurance companies to pay for laproscopic surgery, they preferred you be sliced open from chin to zotz and have you exposed to a sea of risks rather than just have a wee cut and in-and-out.

Dear amwick, I pray your hubby is improving. Recently came close to losing mine twice in 24 hours. As someone with medical problems my whole life since 6 months old, the government needing to get out of healthcare is of primary importance, and insurance problems are secondary in my experience. They both are bad. I want to know how we get our medical privacy back now that the government has copied all our medical records and distributed them to anyone they deemed worthwhile. I have nothing to be ashamed of in my medical records, but I don’t care. If it’s MY BODY, MY CHOICE when it comes to abortion and assisted suicide, why isn’t it my choice about who sees the info on my body?

Hello, I came over from the Treehouse.
The Tundra PA said a lot of the “Oldtimers” were here, and it was not as “craycray”. I read the Treehouse for years, but only started commenting recently due to an improvement in my vision. There are many interesting posts at the Treehouse, but I have a limited length of time I can read, and with 1,000 comments to some posts I can not skim through them to find ones of interest to me. Since recently finding you I have enjoyed reading your site, and hope to be able to occasionally comment – especially on Caturday! I usually wander in and out of the site during the day between repairs/improvements on our money pit (AKA house).
Although none of you may recognize me, I am glad to see your familiar names here. 🙂
Have a Happy National Puppy Day!

My grandmother was from Mass, I’m a many-years-ago escapee from Connecticut.

czarowniczy: Put reply here because thread to narrow, and no reply button. Yes, both southern Maine and NH are turning into North Mass, especially along Rte 95. We looked around NH for 2 years before buying, and we met more New Yorkers in one NH coastal town than any other group! Anyone looking to move, please think of NH! 😉
It really is sad what the progressives are doing to such a beautiful area as New England. It has become worse the past 8 years. The Mass. population would have decreased if it were not for South American immigration. It becomes harder, and harder for conservatives/constitutionals, but I don’t want to give up the area I love and let it become a progressive (really regressive) “caliphate”. A lot of Maine is still good. As in many states I guess, it’s the cities that mess things up. The islands are wonderful in Maine. I think of that too (insert dreamy far-away look here).
Funny about the Czarina having her cut off at below 72, my cutoff is anything above 72. I’m very heat intolerant.

It’s like that everywhere, the progs dirty their nests and rather than clean it up they move. Problem is they want ‘back there’ ‘right here’ and they create that whole mess all over. I watched that happen in Utah and Colorado and here in Mississippi liverals (don’t think of those two words in the samecsentence, do you?) have turned places like Jackson into cesspools.
Crime rate in Jackson can give New Orleans a run for its money and, just as in every other major city, the prog apologists blame everyone and everything but the actors for the actors’ uncivilized behaviors. There are actually groups there who want strct gun control and and end to open and concealed carry … best I can guess is that thugs are funding them.
What can I say, coastal Mississippi is as far north as I could get Czarina, even here she starts an iceberg lookout on the lake each September.

McCain and the POW Cover-Up
The “war hero” candidate buried information about POWs left behind in Vietnam.
By Sydney Schanberg • July 1, 2010
The role the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, had played in suppressing information about what happened to American soldiers missing in action in Vietnam. Below, we present in full Sydney Schanberg’s explosive story.

I remember the C-141 landing at Clark and watching the few get carried off on stretchers. Unsaid was there were watds of hospital beds prepared at the Clark hospital, all set up according to IRC figures for known injured POWs. Both the WH and State tap danced…OK, flat out lied…about why the many injured never returned. The ones in Laos, Cambodia and China were left to rot too.
This parallels those POWs abandoned in Korea and the many, many thousands of Brit and US POWs captured by the Russians when they overran German Stalags in eastern Germany. In WWII guestimates on the number of alied POWs runs as high as 25-thousand. The US ones are known, the Germans and, again, the IRC kept meticulous records but the WH and State felt sacrificing untold thousands of Brit and US PoWs to forced Russian labor was worth the costs in all.
See why I hate State with a passion? They’ve never met a GI they wouldn’t consider screwing/killing. GIs are members of the Great Unwashed, pawns in their upperclass machinations.
