On this day in...


On this day in...
1818 – Illinois becomes the 21st U.S. state.
1964 – Berkeley Free Speech Movement: Police arrest over 800 students at the University of California, Berkeley, following their takeover and sit-in at the administration building in protest at the UC Regents' decision to forbid protests on UC property.
1968 – Elvis '68 Comeback Special airs nationwide on NBC.
1976 – An assassination attempt is made on Bob Marley. He is shot twice, but plays a concert two days later.
1979 – In Cincinnati, Ohio, eleven fans are killed during a stampede for seats before a Who concert at Riverfront Coliseum.

Births
1826 – George B. McClellan, American Civil War general (d. 1885)
1937 – Bobby Allison, American race car driver
1948 – Ozzy Osbourne, English singer
1955 – Warren Jeffs, American convicted polygamist
1960 – Daryl Hannah, American actress
1960 – Julianne Moore, American actress
1968 – Brendan Fraser, American actor
1968 – Montell Jordan, American singer and record producer
1980 – Anna Chlumsky, American actress
1980 – Jim Sorgi, American football player
1987 – Alicia Sacramone, American gymnast

A strong two-fer with Daryl Hannah and Julianne Moore and, in case you were wondering, I'd rather have a run at Moore. Plus you've got a polygamist sicko, a drugged out rocker and the Encino Man. Then you've got the relatively famous youth. FYI, Chlumsky was the girl from 'My Girl', Jim Sorgi was a Wisconsin QB and Peyton Manning's backup and Sacramone is an attractive gymnast who is dating the closet homosexual QB Brady Quinn. Do they do it??? Well, this is how we do it!

  2. Yeah, I'm pretty afraid of Brady's brother-in-law too.
