THE PUBLIC I

THE PUBLIC I The 30th was labeled as the Republican Thanksgiving, while the 23rd became the Democratic Thanksgiving, or, as Nucky Johnson, the recently indicted Republican mayor of Atlantic City called Franklin Roosevelt's holiday, "Franksgiving".

There were a few real problems hidden under this haze of invented outrage. And then he resigned.

In 1937 the Roosevelt administration opened "The Mellon Tax Case", investigating Andrew and his ties while serving at Treasury to the family bank. They figured the boy didn't know enough about Virginia (or Indians) to argue with them if they made him a general. The next thing we may expect Christmas to be shifted to May first to help the New York World's Fair of 1940."

Twenty-three governors went with the President's switch, and twenty-two did not. With assistance he clambered aboard an ox cart, and suffered the jarring forty-five minute long, three quarters of a mile ride back to his boarding house in Cavendish, where he waited for an hour on the front porch for the arrival of Dr. And that was required to keep the curiosity level high enough to bring repeat customers behind the fence. * The breaking point for Paul arrived in 1902. But it just seemed less tacky that the idea would be put forward by a Brit rather than by an American. He was also a Senator representing Nevada. When Barnum's Tom Thumb got married, the miniature pony and coach which carried the diminutive bride and groom away from the church, were provided by Tiffany, and beforehand displayed in his store.

Almost one third of the world's oversupply of cow burps (the primary source of methane) comes from India's 280 million sacred cows. He was a star in P.T. "I have been deposed by a patent medicine shark, a greasy-coated hypocrite, a seeker for personal advancement." Like all those caught in the act, Smith's (actually Bazarro's) accusations might have been better used as a self portrait.

The next morning Carl Browne called a press conference of his own and revealed what everybody there already knew, that the Great Unknown Smith was actually A.P. But it would not be until 1887 before the Tenure in Office Act would be repealed.

Edwin Stanton was nominated to the Supreme Court by the next President, U. And yet we still refuse to recognize these rodents are at war with us, preferring to avoiding admitting their intelligence, instead refereeing to them, in the words of one expert, as "clever and persistent", as if we were unaware that may be an even more dangerous combination than just smart. But the reality was that a majority of speculators lost money. T. Now, Mr. These cars had to be muscled around the track.

Wilkerson was, according to historian Robert Leckie "a general who never won a battle and never lost a court-martial" He was suspected of several murders, assorted frauds and constant graft.He even warned the Spanish about the Lewis and Clark expedition, and it was only blind luck that prevented their murders by the Spanish agents sent after them. He was also a puritanical workaholic and a hypochondriac with such a talent for venom that he carried a pistol for protection; although he was so nearsighted it is unlikely he could have hit anything. By studying which species had been found in past wells which had produced oil, these practical capitalists could better judge their chances of finding oil in any new drilling hole. However they were not in a good position to prevent it, holding only 177 seats in the House of Representatives (to 252 Democrats) and a paltry

23 seats in the Senate (to 69 Democrats). And he gave money to the needy so willingly that it seemed at times as if Ralston wasn't interested in being rich, so much as he had an insatiable hunger to be richer than he was. Over the previous half century, the nation of less than 70 million people had produced a ten fold increase in the number of millionaires. According to Virginia Whig Henry Wise, Amos was..."the President's thinking machine and writing machine and his lying machine... So he started by trying everything he could think of. And a future Nixon aid described Murray as "...a hardheaded exponent of the campaign philosophy that politics is war." * Murray's first experience in politics came when he worked for Herbert Hoover in 1932. "The Great" was always followed about by a woman who always wore a veil and never spoke. And to their stunned surprise Hamilton admitted to the affair, but he denied everything else. * Doubters like Sir Jacobi like to point out that there are no copies of Will's plays or poetry from the 1590's with him listed as the author, but over a third of all the plays published at this time listed no author at all. . The body inside was wrapped in tin foil. He was never even questioned about the explosion.

One week later, on Friday, September 24, 1920, New York Giants Pitcher Rube Benton testified before the Cook County Grand Jury that he knew the 1919 World Series was fixed, and he mentioned the names of several Chicago Cubs players who were involved. And in that small way, the Nebraska populists won. * - 30 * WEDNESDAY: THE 2011 IDES OF MARCH AWARD * Winnie the Pooh And the Honey Tree BOY JONES I begin this tale by reminding you of the central thesis of all of my columns, including this one, which is that biologically we humans have a limited number of emotional responses to stimuli, so we tend to repeat ourselves. Then he was sent to Freemantle Prison. And that's why every one at the time said he did. * In 1634, almost 20 years after Will's death, a Lieutenant noted that his militia company had stopped at Stratford where, "...that famous English poet, Mr. Mrs. The accused witch was Joan Perry.

Meanwhile the standard gauge of American railroads is still just four feet eight and one-half inches.

This is pretty big business today, considering about 100 million American flags are currently sold every year. It was shortly thereafter that the now 21 year old Will ran away from home and joined a London theater company, The Lord Chamberlain's Men. The net effect was to convince everybody

that Scott was at least an honest man. And wasn't the truth just as entertaining as the myth? Not to Marie's relatives, of course, but it was for me. And that was probably the only reason why none of freshly disenfranchised voters in the room started shooting. * The sheriff of Lincoln County, surrounded by deputies, smashed down the locked doors of the state legislature, charged to the front of the chamber and forcefully handed the writ to Speaker Elder.

They were living examples of the new nation, young, illiterate, hard working and hungry to succeed.So as the soldiers hacked and sawed their way south along "The Trace", the Grinder's followed. And when Teddy decided to run for his own term, in 1904, he was opposed by Republican National Chairman Mark Hanna (below), who protrayed his fellow Republican Teddy as a wild eyed lunatic, and called him "that damn cowboy".

What Roosevelt needed in 1904 was anything that would make him look like a stalwart defender of tradition. Which is why it wasn't until after the Northern Italians profited from the capitalist tricks they picked up from their Islamic trading partners that Northern Europe was finally opened for business. The Chicago Herald Examiner had also gotten a letter claiming that Detroit gamblers had bet "thousands" on Philadelphia.

The public reaction to the newspaper's allegation convinced Illinois State's Attorney Maclay Hoyne to convene a Cook County Grand Jury on Tuesday, September 7, 1920, to investigate the game. Born Jewish, Casino Jack converted to orthodoxy. At 9:00 on the morning of September 19th, 1714, William and Jane were loaded into a cart along with their hangman and the prison chaplain. Day and night gangs of work men were employed...Galleries were pushed in every direction and ''soundings'' were made between them with long iron tools,...so that no leaden coffin could possibly be missed."

The wooden coffins had long since corrided away. John Boyd was officially declared the official governor of the state of Nebraska. But that childhood also goes a long way to explaining how such a smart man, a happily married man and a devoted father could fall for something as old and obvious as the Badger Game. * In 1791 in Philadelphia, twenty-three year old Maria Reynolds, a lovely and avaricious mental midget, approached Hamilton, who was the Secretary of the Treasury. Seven failed - and one of those was Eddie Sachs. * For the first time in its history, the 500 was red flagged. C's depression has been chronic for several years. It is as if this part of the family, and the Republican Party,Ă‚ is still trying to prove that old man Andrew Mellon was right back in 1929,Ă‚ and that the Great Depression did not happen.

As Honor de Balzac wrote in his novel, "Father Goriot", "Behind every great fortune...is a crime that has yet to be discovered."

- 30 WEDNESDAY: 1920 - GOING OUT WITH A BANG

Black Sox Scandal And The Wall Street Bomb THE WALTZ KING I have always thought of Joseph II, Emperor of Austria, as a bit of a schizophrenic, half enlightened revolutionary and half unsighted dictator, and totally a legend in his own mind. So the order went forth in typical Teddy Roosevelt fashion, "Dig up our hero! Whatever it costs!"

General Horace Porter (above) was a civil war hero, a friend of President Grant, and now the amasador to France. On April 24, 1906, he was placed in a temporary tomb in Bancroft Hall at the U.S. It was Social Security that had "engergized the base". As it was initially passed the program did not cover farm workers, the self employed, state, federal or local government workers, railroad workers, or domestics. But Boyd's father had never completed the naturalization paperwork. "My first job in Kansas City was to look up vacant lots...we would give addresses to them vacant lots. Allowing the drive shaft to pass to the right of the cockpit lowered the car a foot or more. * The greatest surviving American racer of our age, A.J. And now I need your help again. Here, Edward managed to jump ship and walked the 60 miles from Portsmouth to London. Family history was unavailable, as the patient could not name any relatives. As Republicans today might note, this action only deepened the depression, and insured that in 1840 the Whigs elected William Henry Harrison President.Amos tried to go back to running newspapers. bordello. But it was the Dutchman Christiaan Huygens, who first drew detailed maps of the surface. An obituary writer tried to explain his extraordinary career by listing his fields of endeavor. Andrew William Mellon (above), a scarecrow of a man whose life reads like a Balzac novel. Recovering from his wounds in occupied Philadelphia in May, Colonel Buncombe was sleepwalking, fell and bled to death when his wounds reopened. Lewis was anxious to get moving and, suspected Russel, to get back to his "medicine". The turnkey leapt upon him, knocking the gun from his hand. The Samaritan brought Waltz and his meager possession into Phoenix. Similar fights sparked to life in the chamber of the House of Representatives, and a "mob" of 600 angry Republicans descended upon every wayward Democrat in the building, punching and kicking them, and, if they resisted, beating them down to the marble floors of the brand new "people's house". * Eventually, the pandemonium returned to its source; the Republicans laid siege to the Senate chamber. (a bit of a comedown this, from a Russian nobleman to a hotel owner.) This time, when William burst into the room he took the trouble to beat up the mark, poor Mr. Jimmy wrote that, in classic Tin Pan Alley fashion, after seeing a post card of Tijuana.

Jimmy was an Irishman, and so English was a second language to him: which may help explain his lyrics for... Which leaves me to wonder if being a witch was just an "eggcorn" for that other crime women are often accused of, the one that rhymes with witch. The "Chairman of the Committee on Charity Lecture Bells," is one of the deputation, and perhaps if he should return to Boston, via Providence, he of the Journal, and his train-band, would have his "contribution box," et ceteras, o.k.-all correct--and cause the corks to fly, like sparks, upward." Okay, ignoring Greenes' the convoluted sentence structure for now, the corks were flying because (mythical) champagne bottles had been opened by the (mythical) band of raucous acolytes, in their mythical celebration. And that left Pluto.

* The more people looked at the guardian of the outer realms the odder it looked. Sally was one Crater's mistresses. The oppressed majority were cow pied out to luck. * Thus was born the Farmer's Alliance, which morphed into the People's Independent Party. House of Representatives in November 1857, and he and Terresa moved to a lovely little house in Washington, D.C.. Once the pinnipeds were sated, the "Shoot-the-Chutes" took over the lagoon. * Designed originally by Thomas Polk, for Boyton's Chicago exhibition, it was a short but exciting ride.

Unnoticed in the self obsessed rush, the driver abandoned his wagon, in the back of which were 500 pounds of dynamite connected to a clock and timer, surrounded by 500 pounds of cast iron sash weights. Priscilla Grinder must have greeted him warily. It was the maturity date for Jacob's options.

Replied Baker, "And I say...no!"

The Republican Party rejected the compromise, disingenuously describing it as so badly written that it "...amounts to a perpetual covenant of war against every people, tribe and state owning a foot of land between here and Tierra del Fuego." But the New York Times would later (February 6, 1861) more accurately denounce Senator Crittenden's work because "it has too much the appearance of a device to destroy the Administration in advance of its accession to power...And when the Democrats demand its adoption by the Republicans, they demand, in effect, that they shall abdicate the government which has been committed to their hands, and put in power, not the Democratic Party, but the (Breckenridge) faction."

In the end, none of the words mattered. What they discovered was that Ponzi (above on the right) was worth about $8.5 million. Her nearest customers were in Europe. At 24 years of age he became a "Navvie" for the Burlington and Rutland Railroad. Then in 1965 she returned the United States, to Mount Shasta, California and then in 1988 back to Arizona. * Outside of Sedona, she formed "The Association of Sananda and Samat Kumara". Boyd was asking for a writ of mandamus ("...a court order that required another court, government official, public body, corporation or individual, to perform a certain legally required act"). LLC * On Saturday, January 11, 1964 the Surgeon General's report was released to 200 reporters. In a world without paper currency, every coin was literally worth its weight in silver. Its national headquarters occupied 31 rooms in the National Press Building, and there were 20 state branches.

Westbrook, managed to have the lawsuit dismissed, but, as one biographer noted, from that day forward, "...there was scarcely a day during his whole life that he did not have some litigation on his hands."

His map business made Jay $5, 000, which he invested with Zadock Pratt, a Manhattan leather merchant. William Shakespeare, was born ...". But the editors at the Post had not rolled over after the lost liable case. If you are going to pay extra for a premium stock, you might as well buy

the stock itself and not the option. So they added an entire phrase, so there would be no chance of confusion; "I pledge allegence to the flag of the United States of America." In 1940, with World War once again looming, the Supreme Court ruled that even Jehova's Witnesses could be required to stand at attention and recite the pledge in school, which the Witnesses had argued violated their faith. All the witness for the prosecution admitted they had not gotten a good look at the suspect with the shotgun, but they were all Protestants, and were all fluent in English. In Boston, women eligible to vote even outnumbered eligible men by 10,000. And it was as President of the Pullman Cars Association that he was invited to a Presidential reception at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, on the afternoon of September 6, 1901. He invested his profits in wool mills, cigar factories, hotels and theaters. His publishing ventures failed. Nobody else thought Harding stood a chance. His hair hung down his back and clustered about his face like a heavy snowfall. His Achilles in crime was the baritone Thomas Wansely, a tall and powerfully built black man too curious by half. They were only told what a whoring booze-hound Phillip Key was. The community, having been fed for weeks on the press reports of tramps, thieves and anarchists, were not happy to see them. "Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November; All the rest have thirty-one; Until we hear from Washington." A shopkeeper in Kokomo, Indiana preferred to protest in prose. And anyway, he didn't wear an iron mask. He has smoked pipe tobacco for many years, although workplace regulations at the North Pole have forced him to cut back to one or two pipes per day for the last 5 years. First he threw himself down a well in 1805. The term "repetition" leaps to mind.

In late October 1936 the Republican National Committee sent checks for $5.00 to 400 black pastors in Maryland, along with a letter, which began, "Dear Brother," and then argued that the G.O.P. Of course, that was when high tech required floppy disks and your back up was a pencil and a yellow legal pad. But without a body they could not be forced to pay the double indemnity clause. The boxes were usually a foot to a foot and a-half long and a foot deep, but usually no more than six inches wide. His argument was inventive; John Boyd was not qualified to be governor because he was not an American citizen because he had not been born in America. She called her new community the Abbey of the Seven Rays. In addition, every Wig contractor had their mail contracts cancelled, unless they hired only Democrats (duplicated in Republican Tom Delay's 2000-2004 K Street Project). Wallace Hardison was not so certain, and in 1892 he sold out. By evening the Canadians still held their positions and the Americans retreated. Butler...I opened the bag of diamonds....Mr. At any other time she would have been a pariah, and expected to unoad her cargo outside the port, on McNab's Island. Gage was born in the southern New Hampshire village of Lebanon. Flesh and blood, metal and concrete were ripped apart. That bridge is still in use. Then he would drop a 35 pound, three and a-half foot long iron tamping rod into the hole to compact the charge. Twenty witnesses testified they had bought eels from Bartolomeo at his stand in Brockton on the day of the robbery, but they were all Italians who spoke only broken English, and the jury simply refused to believe them. Officially Powers had received 70,187 votes, making him second by 1,144 votes. (with one of our first citizens.) What measures will be taken by the Society in consequence of this heart rending event, R.T.B.S. But rather than the Democrats absorbing the Independents, in fact the Independents absorbed the Democratic Party. By then his invention had been passed on to future generations, who contiued to build fences around elephants. * You, see in the entertaiment industry, the money is all in the fence. * - 30 -

RUNNING AGAINST SOCIAL SECURITY I would say that Bertrand Snell is a shinning example of the "Peter Principle". And as the tide pulled the Vineland into the Gulf of Mexico, Wansely shared his discovery with first mate Charles Gibbs. *

By Gibb's figuring the barrels together held today's equivalent of over one million dollars in untraceable cash. The press corps was further augmented by four Western Union telegraphers and two line men. So, Gibbs suggested, since they were already sharing in the crime, why not share the silver as well. For a few minutes it looked as if there would be a wholesale slaughter just for the sake of a theatrical effect. Neither did he have any idea how to help revive the national economy. Cooler heads prevailed and he was allowed to quietly resign from the charity. * In March of 1914, there were rumors that Daniel had finally died. And in Federal Court, it was Althea's lawyer, David Terry, who delayed and obfuscated. Yancey wanted secession not despite the destructive effects it would have on the South, but, it seemed, almost because of them.

Once war broke out Jefferson Davis sent Yancey (above) to England to seek recognition. He asked him to leave government so he could secretly aid China in their war with the Japanese. The conservatives were unhappy with the new taxes levied to pay for the war. Grant's attack, isolation, and capture of Vicksburg, Mississippi. Frank Baum I must begin by pointing out that all good jokes have no prologue. "Two men" may indeed walk into a bar, and before they did, they had to be somewhere else, doing something else. Few knew at the time that Father Coughlin was one of the largest private holders of silver in the America. This made the Tin Woodman very unhappy, for he was always careful not to hurt any living creature; and as he walked along he wept several tears of sorrow and regret. Mencken noted, he "simply lacks the power to inflame the boobs." The party platform that Alf was going to have to stand on had been engineered by Chairman Bertrand and forty-four year old John Daniel Miller Hamilton (above), the "crinkly haired" "jut-jawed" G.O.P. They shot one poor fellow who talked back to them. The Fairs were history, France and the Champagne were broke. The price of gold skyrocketed.

When Grant learned about the manipulations, he immediately ordered the U.S. Cobb signed the writ of mandamus on the spot and then ran for the exit; checkmate. * The spectators were so stunned they were frozen. And like a smoker who develops a cough, the deposits on the sea floor, as well as Greenland and Antarctic ice cores, recorded the increasing impact of burning fossil fuels on our planet's health. Proust's dismal ethoes is that it does not explain Professor Bond. Henri's toll was now eight dead - five at the police station and three at the restaurant.

At his trial Henri was defiant and bombastic, until his attorney put Henri's mother on the witness list. To this point, Thomas' greatest claim to fame was that he had help spread the rumor that General William Tecumsah Sherman was crazy. To his surprise, Stanton simply said "no".

There was a week of stunned silence from the White House, until the following Monday, August

12th, when Johnson tried another tact. He was found not guilty of trespass and released without bond. - and specific to the current fight, 56% supported the workers, against 41% who supported the Pooh-vernor.

Rasmussen shamelessly insisted "Collectively the data suggest a fluid situation." Which means, I guess, that Governor Pooh is sinking. That name now applies, as a verb, to the redrawing of congressional district boundaries (Gerrymandering) to insure the election of friends of Governor Gerry. * Almost as old is the word "Bunko", meaning a fraud or a fraudulent spiel used by salesmen of bad or faked products. Then he served them more coffee, and when the ladies slipped their chains to escape to the toilet, the trees were bulldozed, and the construction proceeded. The railroad monopolies set the shipping rates and the silo rates and there was no appeal to their heartless bookkeeping. * Try and start a bank to break the railroad monopoly, and the state legislators would make it illegal.

And what we remember is that for all its pain and horror, to its 600,000 dead on both sides, the Civil War gave birth to the America dream we share today. Can any of us honestly say we would have prefered an America in which John Crittenden had been succesful and the war had been avoided, all in the name of compromise?

- 30 - WEDNESDAY: COXEY'S ARMY: PART THREE The March Gets Together DOES YOUR COW POINT NORTH? I am certain that some will think this story much a moo about nothing. They were greeted by a crowd of 10,000 people. The blood from the trunk spurted high as the body revolved into the basket.

The editor of the Tombstone Epitaph would later note his calm demeanor, saying he was "...unperturbed whether...meeting with a friend or a foe." Bat Masterson described him as possessing a "... Van Buren had been born in the tiny village of Kinderhook, New York, a bastion of Dutch culture in a rising sea of Englishmen, making their man an ethnic minority. Nixon didn't yet have a way to meet his pledge of ending the war "with honor", so he continued the war, and he did not raise taxes. But when he finally did, flying the American flag while sailing out of France, he had at last justified his luck. What might have been cute in a 14 year old was now just creepy in a 17 year old. It seems he had gotten considerably more than half of the money from the diamond hoax.

The cities' University of Sankoré began attracting world class astronomers and mathematicians and Islamic scholars. An obituary writer tried to explain his extraordinary career by listing his fields of endeavor. It gives a whole new meaning to the term "pasteurization".

Few have ever denied that individually cows process a certain personal magnetism. Some families found their holiday dinners split between the two dates. And then they returned home for a hearty breakfast. *

JP Van Dyke suspected this, or most of it. Does any of this sound familar? But, back to our story...

On June the ninth, 1936, Herbert addressed the Republican National Convention in the Public Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio, and did his very best to rally the faithful to his cause. After this academic execution, Oliver's corpse was discarded into a pit and his head was raised upon a 20 foot wooden pole above the south side of Westminster Palace. It is a phrase you don't much hear anymore, in part because we are losing contact with the agony fire can bring. With a little luck I would have seen a dapper, middle aged man, six feet tall, about 180 pounds, wearing a dark brown double-breasted coat and matching trousers, a bow tie, a Masonic ring and a gold wristwatch, a pair of pearl-gray pinstriped spats and all set off by straw panama hat, tipped at a jaunty angle, stepping into a cab outside of Billy Haas' Chophouse, where he had just eaten dinner with friends. Andrew Sullivan (the Daily Dish and the Atlantic), whose initial position was sympathy for Walker, has turned....A few days ago, the question was: How long can the Democrats hold out? Increasingly, it's how long Walker can hold out."

Worse yet for Pooh, it is quickly becoming evident that Winnie the Governor has stumbled over the limit of public support for his "my way or the highway" style. But the Post's columnist, Mr. They were followed by an actress on horseback, Ms. And as Gray had expected, the Republican base was so energized by the gerrymander, that their party was swept back into power that November with a 10,000 vote majority, recapturing seven of those redistricted Assembly seats. Hunt decided not to follow the trail blazed by Lewis and Clark. He did not drink to excess. Instead Harding swallowed and said, "No". He proceeded to pilfer $27,000 from the funds. The cost of this singular expedition was about ten thousand pounds..." * It took two weeks under military guard for the inexperienced Ulster men to bring in the crop of turnips, wheat and potatoes, valued by Boycott as worth about three hundred and fifty pounds. Who he was seems to have been mixed up in what is called "The Affair of the Poisons" which is a morality tale of a cute little love-sick tramp with the affinity for "inheritance powders", and her amoral boyfriend. Throw in the King's mistress for a little spice, and you have a recipe for what Alexis de Tocqueville called "L'Ancien Regime", and what in modern terms we would call a soap opera of the rich and infamous. In 1856 the Boyd family had moved to Nebraska territory and had become involved in business and local politics. Faced with a bruised and enraged Robertson, the Republicans caught his anger. Lilly caring for the new princess Victoria, heard a noise coming from the Queen's dressing room. However, Will did not appoint his nephew as a commander of the local militia, and it was the appointment he did not receive which Nathaniel took note of.

But why had this young man traveled to America? Well, Nathaniel had recently married and his new in-laws had quickly realized he was a pretentious pompous fraud. And the attendant deflation destroyed what little credit remained. It just so happened that this bull artist finally met his china shop on a road in northern China, and that the hot head who pulled the trigger happened to have been a communist. It was only a few months later, in mid-1919, that he had registered his Old Colony Foreign Exchange" with city hall.

By the beginning of August, The great Red Scare, which had begun with such a furor in January, was pretty much over. First, it was clear that the bumps on the top of the head were not denotative of anything going on inside the skull. The week before, on October 25, 1825, a warrant for Jereboam's arrest had been issued by the sheriff in Bowling Green. The study also noted that five or six were of

"questionable character".

"After a few hours the road began to be rough, and the walking grew so difficult...The farms were not nearly so well cared for here as they were farther back. And the hundreds of workers who found work building Kansas City's future, smiled too. It was decided it was self evident the state was going to need them, and the measure was approved by a vote officially recorded as 31 Ayes, 0 nays and 18 "present but not voting". They were not buried by family or friends or even enemies. His sevents and admirers pickled the hero in rum, packed him into an iron coffin, and buried him in the old Saint Louis Cemetery, set aside for foreign protestants.

Unfortunatly, three weeks after John Paul Jones was laid to rest, a mob decended on the Royal Palace of Tuileries, and captured the King and Queen. The very first sentence of the very first of the 90 essays sought to explain it all. He added a salute. * Well, it was called the Bellamy Salute, but he didn't invent it. The cavalrymen, well drunk by this time, decided the infantry were after their booze. And it turns out that this celebration of sociopathic behavior was invented by the French, a nation without humorous inclinations since Moliere slipped on a banana peel in 1673. Then there would be a week concentrating on cloth sales (60 European towns sold their wool only at the Fairs), followed by a week of leather sales, a week for spices, and a closing week of hard commodities, grains, salt and metals. Legends claim that Oliver's pole was blown down in a storm and Oliver's dome rolled into the hands of Mr. Grant's most easily defeated opponent was Lt. The court had decided that certifying election results was simply a clerical duty and not a matter of choice. In January of 1622, Richard's was finally released on the condition that he and she leave London for ever. I suspect that this time Jane's arrest was part of a trap. He had realized early that there was far more money to be made in railroad stock than in running railroads. * Between 1830 and 1855, when the nation quadrupled its miles of track, 125 railroad companies issued stock but never laid a single mile of railroad track. And that is why William Burke went up the stairs of the gallows all by himself in January of 1829. And 1920 proved that once again.

In time the land atop John Paul Jones came to be occupied by a grocery, a laundry, an apartment house and their attendant sheds, toliets, cess pools and wells.

And there he might have stayed had not, luckily, a lunatic shot American President William

McKinnely in September of 1901.

That lunatic made Vice President Teddy Roosevelt, at 44, the younget man ever to take the oath as President of the United States. Briefly he tried selling his story via public speaking engagements, and displaying his rod. Daniel had so far made a career out of developing legal problems, so he decided that Phillip Key was the perfect man to escort Terresa to Washington social functions while Daniel was "relaxing" in Baltimore with Fanny White, and others.

Friends tried to warn Daniel about Phillip's reputation, and in March of 1858 Daniel had a confrontation with Phillip concerning accusations that were already bubbling up about his intentions toward Terresa. Goodbye." Every operator up and down the line heard that message. Lyman and Milton endowed $300,000 for the publication of 12 volumes (90 essays) in defense of what they believed were the five fundamental tenets of the true faith; the total absolute accuracy of the bible, the divinity of Jesus, his death for humanities' sins, and his second coming, which was expected soon, perhaps in the lifetime of people then living. * However there were a few other points made in The Fundamentals which are not so widely talked about today, in particular a listing of the enemies of Christianity - including "...Romanism (Catholicism), socialism, modern philosophy, atheism...Mormonism, spiritualsim,...and Darwinism, which appeared to undermine the Bible's authority." Formed originally as a response to "modermism", the foundations of Fundamentalism remain primarily negative, insisting more upon what they are against, rather than what they seek to build. Then came Coxey in his carriage, ridding with his second wife and their infant child, "Legal Tender Coxey". It was an absurdly pompous threat on the face of it, since being arrested for violating the 60 year old ordinance would achieve the very object the ordinance was designed to discourage. Henceforth, they announced,  it was illegal to solicit funds without a license, even though no procedures had yet been written to qualify for such licenses. " History records that they were singing new words (written by Carl Browne) and set to the tune sung as Sherman's Army burned its way across Georgia. Then in 1845 Amos became Samuel F. The monograms said "MMC" because...he billed himself as Murray M. An old woman and her grandson produced sixteen pounds. "I picked you out of the mud."

Browne immediately ordered the marchers to halt. But that is beside the point... * Maury Maverick later won election to Congress, where, during WWII, his honesty, intellect and energy convinced others to make him chairman of the "Small War Plants Committee", overseeing and coordinating the work of thousands of small factories contributing to the American war effort, seeking to avoid duplication of effort, shortages of raw materials and general waste. Althea began to scream for vengeance, and fell upon her husband's body. The poor executioner must have been shagged out from removing the first two heads. Everything he ate made him sick, but he refused to die. But he now announced that he was revoking his gift. Today, three years later, the old man is berating his friend because the silk hat was lost." The election of November 3, 1936 was the most lopsided since James Monroe ran unopposed in 1820. Reading the popular vote results did not seem to make anything clearer. Or it could be the summer of 1819.

That year, the northern English midlands city of Manchester was well on its way to becoming "...the

first and greatest industrial city in the world." But, over the previous three short years the weavers, spinners and loom operators that made the city great, the hi-technicians of their day, had seen their wages drop by 2/3rds. Edward refused. Back down under, Edward disappeared into anonymity, and there he stayed, until the day after Christmas, celebrated as Boxing Day in England and Australia. On that day of celebration, Edward Jones, the Boy Jones, got drunk and fell off a bridge over the Mitchell River in Bairndale, Queensland (above). The only hiccup occurred when Daniel publicly forgave Terressa. After biting the officer several times (and one other adult victim) the rampaging squirrel made his escape. But barely had they passed out onto the Atlantic when Captain Thorn turned into Captain Bligh. Shortly thereafter a couple named Gray came back to their rented room at Logs Lodging to find some of the inventory stored under their bed. Then in 1854 he moved to another stage line this time in Valparaiso, Chile. - 30 SUNDAY: CHARACTER FLAW Father Coughlin and the Politics of Hatred POLITICAL SPEAK I wonder how many of you know, dear readers, that the word "Gobbledgook", being a nonsensical word or phrase designed to imply importance but in fact meaning nothing, has an actual birthday?

The word was born on Sunday, May 21st, 1944, in the pages of "The New York Times Magazine".

"Mr. As the hour of doomsday passed over them, Dorthy's back yard remained just another random void along the space time continuum. * Dorthy was observed crying. Against the Ruth's Yankees (above) they had nine wins against thirteen loses. He warned Robert that she was "a filthy, base woman...noted for her injury and immodesty." And Thomas may have been right, because even the lady's husband described Francis as "a stretched glove", not exactly a compliment. He was there to cover Harry Daugherty, because, as you have seen, Harry was always good for a quote, even if you had to spoon feed it to him. * Also present was George Harvey, who ran Harper publishing, and Republican Senators Wadsworth, Calder, Watson, McCormick and Lodge, Governor Smoot, political fixer Joe Grundy, and Lawyer Charles Hillers, counsel to the R.N.C., as well as his client, R.N.C. Evidently, Daniel assumed that Terresa could also be trusted. The now 500 man Army was swollen by supporters to 4,000, who were hoping, I suspect, to protect the marchers with their bodies, if necessary. A reporter for the New York Times placed a telephone call to his home on Fifth Avenue. But rather than replace these 1,200 miles of substandard rails already in use, the royal commission of 1845 decreed that four feet eight and one-half inches would be the "Standard Gauge" for Britain, and eventually most of the rest of the world. You see, for Dorthy, the end of the world was just the beginning. * Dorthy Martin, a fifty-four year old housewife, received notice on August 27, 1954 that the world was going to end. Load up your water gun, warm up your fart cushion and repeat after me; "Poison d'Avril, sucker!" Funny, huh? - 30 -

CBL- Another false computer promise A few days ago I posted a very nice article on a computer work by CBL computers in Lafayette. But the voters did not care what he thought. Everybody who got the joke was supposed to read these announcements and just laugh, not pack. "Cousin Ed" as Barrow was called, now spent nearly half a million dollars of Col Rupperts beer money buying up every player of talent still on the Red Sox roster, dismatling the Boston team, while building around Babe Ruth a dynasty that would dominate baseball for the next twenty years, winning 14 pennants and 10 World Series, before Barrow retired in 1945. The town's northern land shoulder -Haines Bluff - was protected by the 200 mile wide and 50 mile thick swamp of the Yazoo river delta to its north. He was rescued and after six years of enforced service was finally set free in the isolated port of Perth (above),  on the lonely west coast of  Australia. Those transcripts, kept in the Truman Library, were released in 1983, two years after Tommy's death, at 80 years of age from a pulmonary blood clot. However, shortly thereafter Senator Sharon offered her $7,500 in cash if she would sign a paper using the name "Miss Hill". Industrialist Henry Ford proclaimed that the Great Depression had been caused by "an era of laziness", and President Hoover, from his government subsidized home three and ½ blocks south of the Little Green House, seemed to agree. Yancey publically opposed the compromises of 1850, which sought to establish a balance between slave states and "free" states within the Union. The mob forced one of them against a stone wall...and threw his horse violently to the ground. Over four years - from 1949 to 1950 - the Chotiner brothers defended 249 mob clients, ranging from local bookmakers to New Orleans mobster Carlos Marcello and L.A.'s mob boss Mickey Cohen. The demand for demand needed to be great enough to absorb the vagaries of a business cycle that was collapsing for want of demand. Bob and Blaine and Garfield's two sons helped the President to his feet, and escorted him up stairs, away from the lookey-loos. Angry, James started singing to anybody who would listen that Hamilton had given him inside information on Government bond sales. In 1820 the tall, thin Scotsman in a tight uniform, was welcomed home by the Lord Mayor of London, as a hero. The District of Columbia in 1930 had a population of 607,000 people, and, even many of them out of work. The more you know the less you know, you know. * The first thing astronomers realized they did not know was why two of those three cold blobs of rock and ice circling far out from the Sun- Neptune and Uranus - were so darn massive, too massive to have been formed so far out at the edge of the spinning disc that eventually became the solar system. But the unpleasant truth was and is, that a compromise is not a solution. The ancient traders, who bought hides from butchers, invented the 'futures market' by buying and selling the hides of cattle that had not yet been born. Chairman of General Electric.

As spring of 1814 approached, General Wilkerson got word that the disaster was being blamed on him and he decided to save his reputation by taking a cheap shot at 80 British soldiers at an outpost on the Lacolle River. Wilkerson's attack fell on the Canadians on March 30h. He was followed and mocked whenever he left his farm. Army was set to work clearing the trace to 8 feet wide and removing all tree stumps above 16 inches tall, so "The Trace" could be used by high riding Conestoga wagons. One told a local newspaper, "He treated his cattle better than he did us." The server would have issued even more eviction notices, but a crowd of women began to throw mud and manure and the agent and his police escort had to retreat into the Boycott home. Jack was shot three times just behind his left ear. Through the entire decade of the 1920's the

economy grew at 7% per year, while unemployment remained between just three and four percent.

Mellon moved to quickly retire much of America's World War One debt, cutting it by $10 billion. The imitative working masses followed, and were transported at 35 cents a head by excursion boats from the Manhattan docks or the newly electrified rail lines from Brooklyn, (or "Breukelen" in the original Dutch). * In the spring of 1884, James Lafferty spent $65,000 to build a hotel on the empty stretch of sand known as Coney Island, just across Surf Avenue from the boat pier and the railroad terminals. He had been a writer for the Post, until Ponzi had hired him as a Press Agent. However the same publication hastened to point out, "He is not a stayer...his brilliant work, genial temperament and brilliant wit made him the "spoiled child" of many a social circle...with his extraordinary talents and accomplishments he might have been great; but at least he always remained dear.".

He had worked in the gold mines of North Carolina and Georgia and Mississippi. He had worked as housepanter, a cartoonist and a snale oil salesman, and now he was a labor organizer. The similarity between the original sport (outlawed in England in 1835) and the blackmail sting performed on Hamilton is that the dog could be counted on to grab the badger every time, even though the pooch was never allowed to actually eat the badger. And the new owners were willing to switch to a more iconic business model. * The Elephant Hotel was converted into a bordello. It was a joke, of course, an inside multi-layered joke - a joke about a joke about a joke.

I learned I did not need to know how my machine does what it dose, any more than I need to know the compression ratio of my car's engine is. And five minutes of talking with Jacob Coxey convinced Carl Browne that while he personally was the partial re-incarnation of Jesus Christ, Coxey was the re-incarnation of Andrew Jackson. Only his compatriots in crime were convicted. Harrison, then John Perry, the self confessed murderer, certainly had. Bat, as we now know, was on the floor of the gambling parlor. Then they did a little math and learned why.

To have covered all the money invested in the "Old Colony", the company would have had to buy at least 160 million international postal reply coupons. Like Dick Cheney, Stanton was a Prima Donna who displayed a self indulgent affection for conspiracies, and practiced such hyperbole that "At certain crises...doubts of his sanity were widespread..."(p 286 - "Lincolns War Cabinet" Hendrick).

He had already done his part. *

Bob left government service after that and went back into private industry, as a lobbyist for the railroads. Although the patient has a jolly demeanor, he expresses profound unhappiness. And I will begin with the observations of an amateur military genius. But what the sub-prime mortgage fiasco has proven, and the dot-com bubble proved before that, and the Savings & Loan debacle proved before that, is that without regulation there can be no trust. He fought back. And Lewis did two things immediately which almost assured he would be a failure as a Governor. This was repeated several times in front of a crowd of Neanderthals, with the shouting and betting building to a crescendo.

And once they were all well intoxicated, Gibbs told them of the cargo of silver, and confessed that last night he had thrown Captain Thornby overboard. "I first noticed the wound," wrote the good doctor, "before I alighted from my carriage, the pulsations of the brain being very distinct."

The doctor recorded that his patient had a pulse of 60, was breathing regularly and his pupils were reactive. The old fool dropped dead so fast that Neagle's second shot, fired immediately after the first, only clipped Terry's ear as he went to to the floor.

Right on cue, while the smoke still hung in the air, and the witnesses' ears were still ringing, Althea reentered the dinning room. After the Civil War he opposed Reconstruction. Boy, does that ever sound familar! However, it appears that most Americans saw all of this Republican effort in the same light as that expressed by the voter,  who said that Roosevelt was "the first man in the White House to understand that my boss is a son-of-a-b-tch" In 1936 the Democrats came out swinging, inc;uding FDR, as illustrated in a speech he delivered in Boston, and which he wrote himself. "In the summer of 1933 a nice old gentleman fell off a pier. But before them all was Gregor McGregor, a Scotsman who managed to not only sell what he did not own, but he sold what did not even exist.

Everybody in England knew who Gregor McGregor (above)Â was. The patient feels annoyed and worried when he is told many people do not believe he exists, and I feel this may develop into a serious identity crisis if not dealt with. He was just the first.

As poor Pooh observed when they pulled his bottom out of the Honey Tree, "You can never tell with bees!" Actually, you can, if you just ask anybody besides your base.

Wisconsin Majority Leader Senator Scott Fitzgerald was making noises as if he were having second thoughts about his fearless Pooh-leader's stand atop the barricades, but followed that up by pushing a vote to arrest the wayward Democrats who had fled the state to deny the Pooh his quorum.

He served two presidents, and one of his enemies, President John Quincy Adams, said that those two chief executives were merely, "...the tools of Amos Kendall, the ruling mind of their dominion."

Amos was tall, thin, asthmatic and prematurely white haired. And like all gamblers, the more Anna gambled the more she lost. There is no longer room for confusion or miss-interpretation, only for over-interpretation. General Thomas was in court.

After he had been released on his own recognizance (who was he going to hurt?), Thomas returned to the White House, where, once again President Johnson ordered the old man to go to the War Department and take possession if it. William then stuffed a cigar into Martin's mouth and walked him up and down Fifth Avenue as if they were bosom buddies. He found Garfield lying on the floor of the "Ladies Waiting Room".

However, almost two weeks went by, and still there was no release from General Wilkerson. Initially there were only 25 members of the congregation, and Father Coughlin's mother had to sell trinkets in the gift shop. However it was politically embarrassing. And local wildlife rehabilitator Norma Campbell offered no comfort when she warned against any futile attempts to cull the local squirrel populations. And they decided that the will and the marriage contracts were both forgeries, enjoined Althea from claiming otherwise, and ordered her to hand over the documents to Frederick Newlander.

"If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins."Ben Franklin But the judges went even further, lecturing Althea in open court, contending that "...property and position are in themselves some certain guaranty of truth in their possessor...", and that "A woman who voluntarily submits to live with a millionaire for hire ought not...be allowed to punish her paramour for the immorality of which she was a part..." It is hard to find a more able defense of the Victorian ideal of the nobility of wealth and the original sin of women, than that argued by these two Federal judges. I'm not saying that Althea was justified in the way she expressed her anger with the courts, but I am saying that she was nuts already, and this lecture did not help her pathology. But, as we all know, some men are drawn to crazy women. Marshal Neagle (above) was convinced she used her body to shield her removal of David's bowie knife. Selover, who actually considered himself a friend of Gould's. She called his friends and staff, and all of them urged her to remain calm and not raise a fuss because of the potential political complications that might ensue. * Joe Crater had been a surprising appointment to the New York appeals court because he was not openly affiliated with New York Mayor Jimmy Walker (above), or his friends at Tammany Hall, the center of graft and greed in New York City government since the 1840's. It made no mention of the cutting of salary, only of the refusal to work. The firm of Singletary Rueda designed an 11 story, 108,000 square feet of floor space, 1,260,000 cubic square feet of "living" space, building. Johnson then ordered Thomas to deliver them to both to Stanton. His college roommate described Jack as always "driven to excess". Clemet Clay, the biggest gossip in a town that still lives on gossip. On the first day of sales, the crowds were so large the police had to restore order - or so Tiffany claimed But it was Gideon Reed from Boston who ran the firm's Paris store, and who invented the diamond engagement ring, to handle a glut of small stones from South Africa then swamping the market. We

know today, as the beneficiaries of the interstate highway system, that the investment in infrastructure Coxey was promoting would improve the nation, would create new wealth by creating new opportunities for business and in the short run provide honest work for the unemployed. Morris checked the 56 cents postage on the tag tied to May's coat, and since the mother was no where to be seen, allowed the girl to ride in the mail car to Lewiston. And the square mile scrub brush plain to the north of that peak is the scene of the Great Diamond Hoax of 1872. But even today, while smoking "weed" will get you jail time, smoking tobacco is still legal. * "Nick: Okay, let's say that you're defending chocolate and I'm defending vanilla. And in both cases, in 1970 and in 1819, the attack dispersed the crowds inside of fifteen minutes. He then proceeded to to seduce a Spanish Queen, and to pilfer $27,000 from the funds raised to build a battlefield memorial at Gettysburg. Then I looked at it and it looked like a white sidewall and I knew the next thing I would see would be air. Said another publication, "He accommodates himself gracefully to a given situation; lives well...drinks only the best of wines, and smokes only the best of cigars. Mr.  In 1916 Charles was ordained as a Catholic Priest. If a human being is murdered by a serial killer, a lunatic at the controls of a hijacked jet, a deluded doctor, a drunk at the wheel of a car or a waiter too busy to wash their hands, the result for the victims is the same; tragedy. Luckily, the now destitute Jacob was matched with a compassionate small businesswoman named Julia Elena Thomas, who had a spare room and a bed. Some patients may even experience weight loss, hair loss and a skin rash...These symptoms can last for over three months, and sometimes as long as six months. * "We know from the private journals kept by its members, that on the 13th and 14th of August of 1805 Captain Lewis and some of the men from the expedition 'partied' with some Shoshone women.

In what may have been the first time a practical joke qualified as a war crime, on April 1, 1915 a French pilot buzzed the German trenches and dropped a huge bomb, which bounced. Four years later the citizens of Venice awoke on April 1, to discover their sidewalks littered with cow manure, the "gag" of a visiting Englishman, Horace de Vere Cole, with too much time on his hands and too much money in his pockets. Faced with empty coffers and pews, Father Coughlin used his connections with Mrs. He carried his affinity for inflexible convictions into every aspect of his life he was an absolutest in all things. That rebellion had not happened either. As an added plus, Coxey and Carl Browne were also hoping to put their bad press behind them. Although why we should do that I have no idea. * Eventually James got to the point. Peter's Church." The number may have been an enthusiastic over estimation, but in the area known as St. Samuel Williams, accompanying the march, described the hundred and fifty men as "the nucleus of a band of marauders, whose object is to despoil their fellow citizens" and called them "a species of terrorism." "These bands," he wrote for the St. They might as well have planted a big arrow above his crypt that read "Dig Here!" Judgment day arrived less than three years later. As soon as Charles II was crowned king, he had 12 of those who had participated in his father's trial tried for high treason.

But their convenient alibi was by now pounding the coast, and after having crossed Coney Creek, the quartet was forced to seek refuge in John Leonard's Sheepshead Bay Inn, where John Brownrigg spilled his guts.

* Leonard was nothing if not decisive. Unemployment rose from an estimated 3% in 1892, to 11% in 1893, and, after repeal of the Sherman Act, to 18% in 1894. After that victory, FDR brought Tommy into the inner circle and made him his private secretary - "speech writer, strategist, talent scout and back channel lobbyist." * "Apart from my father, Tom (Corcoran) was the single most influential individual in the country."

It was the speculators who drove Abraham Lincoln's father off his farm in Kentucky, and again off his farm in Indiana and eventually drove him to Illinois, where Abraham gave up farming entirely. * As another source writing about this unromantic American frontier points out, "As a consequence of monopolistic tactics and official fraud, northern Alabama lands were overwhelmingly engrossed by absentee speculators and wealthy settler elites." The leveling process of the American frontier was largely a myth, created by the wealthy in a natural effort to romanticize their past. And his little darling inherited a little money, which she and Saint-Croix quickly burned through.Then in 1670 Marie shed more tears when her two brothers suddenly dropped dead. Just before the green flag was dropped again, it was announced that Eddie Sachs had died. * Announcer Sid Collins gave Eddie's obituary live, on the air, just minutes after learning of his death.

He was a partisan in the extreme and his politics were always personal. Without a source of potable water, meaning a drinkable fluid, a monastery could not survive. Lord knows, the Catholic church had long wanted The Fighting Priest to shut up. When other rocks on the sea floor were identified as coming from the same areas on land, the professor's suspicions were Horse Farms For Sale Memphis TN confirmed, and with it a way to measure climate change. Does any of this sound familiar?

One wag put it to verse; "Mellon pulled the whistle, Hoover rang the bell, Wall Street gave the signal, And the country went to hell." Mellon saw what was happening, but favored what he called a "liquidationist" approach to the problem. Instead he wanted the Governor to name him overall commander of the entire Indian war. Many of the new car designs were still experimenting with suspension set ups, and on the second lap a rookie named Dave McDonald lost control of his unstable car, spun out coming off the fourth turn and slammed into the inside wall. Now, if you will oil the joints of my legs, I shall be all right once more."

So they oiled his legs until he could move them freely; and he thanked them again and again for his release, for he seemed a very polite creature, and very grateful. These tears ran slowly down his face

and over the hinges of his jaw, and there they rusted. His whole heart was in the movement to emancipate labor."The next day, as the march continued into Maryland, the eldest son Jesse Coxey was reinstated on the one condition that "he not sulk anymore". In this case the President was George Washington and the appeasement was part of the Federalists "New England" strategy. There Edward worked for a time as the Town Crier, until he was arrested for burglary. For the incident Frankie spent the night in jail and was fined $20, while Officer Earp was fined $1.

George Hegel By the end of December, Althea was gone from the Grand and the Senator had moved on to other young women, although he occasionally still spent "time" with her. The Republicans made certain the Crittenden Compromise was never officially considered by the entire Senate, even though they never offered an alternative. The vandals had been identified. And at about the same time the six year long depression came to an end. And dribble glasses are not only not practical they are also not funny - especially on "April Fools Day", when every glass is a dribble glass and every shoe is a potential combustion chamber. But complexity was always hidden just beneath the hide. But a new player had entered the arena.

His name was Joseph Allen, and he was the Massachusetts Bank Commissioner. At least Gregor McGregor got his name on a monument outside of Caracas. Still, I have to agree with Will Rogers, who once said, "They may call me a 'rube' and a 'hick, but I'd a lot rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it."

It fell from a high of 294 points in early October 1929, to 230 points at the end of the month. . It wasn't an antibell ringing society, it was actually a pro-bell ringing society; sort of the way "Working Class Americans for Fair Taxes" aren't any of those things either. Henry Jannin took William Ralston's (above) job offer at his standard salary, ($2,500), and an option to buy 1,000 shares in the venture at a greatly reduced fee. And when the regulations are not maintained and enforced, the market collapses. By 1930, the year that Judge Crater disappeared, Jack's web of speakeasies in lower Manhattan was under siege from the rapacious Dutch Schultz mob, based in Harlem. There was no city of St. Unfortunately, he would not live long to enjoy it. Nash ever served as a prostitute. And during that time witnesses could be bought off, killed off, or just die of natural causes. He survived his close encounter with Bob by another eight years.

And curiosity about the elephant behind the fence kept the customers lined up at the ticket booth. * Several times a day Boyton himself would appear to demonstrate his rubber suit, and tofeed four dozen hungry sea lions in the park's central lagoon. But it was also the defining moment of Nathaniel Bacon's performance. Every human chosen to be saved from the coming devastation must be waiting in Dorthy's apartment at the appointed hour to be transported to the Oak Park spaceport. Some time near the mid summer solstice around three thousand eight hundred fifty years ago, some fifty or sixty Unetice raiders were attacked on the banks of the Tollense. MacArthur did this on his own.

Daniel showed the note to a friend, George Wooldridge, who then watched the philandering husband sob with his head in his hands.

On Saturday night, February 26th, Daniel confronted Terressa in her bedroom (they had separate sleeping arraignments, on different floors), and he forced her to write her confession in her own hand. Copper and tin had to be heated to 1,700 degrees Fahrenheit before they would form bronze, and that takes a lot of dry wood, and a knowledge of ceramics. The sheriff of Lancaster County (a Democrat), surrounded by deputies (more Democrats), smashed down the locked doors of the legislative chamber, charged to the front of the room and forcefully served the writ upon Speaker Elder. He shouted from the floor, "Gentlemen of the Senate, I have been by force excluded from the position to which the people of this state elected me." But at this point the acting-President pro tempore, Democratic Senator Alonzo Smith, ordered the doorkeeper, Frank Pritchett, to remove the Lt. And it was convenient for the Senator for just about a year.

Cyril Connolly As late as October 3, 1881, Senator Sharon was still referring in his notes to Althea as "My Dear Wife". Jacob Coxey did not smoke. But the idea that these cow hides might be hiding some kind of mystical, new-age ferris sensitivity seemed, until recently, to be an oxymoron. But Sharp's allies had responded quickly by claiming that the dead child had been born with black skin, and thus could not be the child of a white politician. He just can't stop himself from plotting. But in the 19th century the standard was a month's treatment with the poisonous metal mercury - taken either orally, applied as a balm, breathing in the vapors, or by a direct injection. The pledge was now 31 words long. Curtain on Act Two. He fought in the American Revolution, and served in the North Carolina House of Commons, the state legislature.

Besides owning a large chunk of Erie stock of course, Jacob had recently bought several thousand 'options', pledging to buy even more. But a touch of reality was supplied by the supporting players. But because of the large number of people about he had left again, unseen. Two marchers died from exposure to the harsh weather, fifteen others came down with pneumonia, twenty with the flu. Still, Stella was counseled to keep quiet. This meant that merchants could short change their customers with the simple application of a file. Conclusions: Physicians, when presented with aerial sleigh-borne present-deliverers exhibiting more than a few of these symptoms, should seriously consider ASBPDS as their differential diagnosis. There were parades, dinners, banquets and lots of drinking, and on the fourth day the Pharaoh had to "run" a course and shoot arrows to prove he was still fit enough to rule. John must have been very disappointed. But I digress... * Anyway, a Jonah is somebody you don't want on your boat, or babysitting your 401K. But this brings us to my real topic, which is the year when Thanksgiving became a real la guerre; 1939 It was the third year of President Franklyn Delano Roosevelt's second term as president. He is supposed to be the moving spring of the administration; the thinker, planner, and doer, but it is all in the dark." And Virginia Democrat Colonel Augustine Clairborn described Amos as a "...little whippet of a man" who was "...the Atlas that bore on his shoulders the weight of Jackson's administration.

And it was there that I stumbled across a news story in the local paper about a local company that was rebuilding computers for school kids. And either possibility is not a compliment for the denizens of Nebraska. * Even before Nebraska was admitted to the union, on January 7, 1859, a fracas of fisticuffs fractured the Nebraska territorial legislature, between those who lived north and those who lived south of the Platte River.

But was that, asked Baker, a reason to destroy the union of states? "I say, yes," blurted out Benjamin. Philip destroyed the Fairs by removing and not enforcing the regulations that defined the market, and piling on taxes not tied to their profits. America did not have to be settled in this fashion. The conflict between those two desires could get very nasty.In 1742 an angry mob whipped one John Samuel through the streets of Edinburgh after he was caught transporting the corpse of a young girl. Even more improbable to modern ears, this smallest state west of the Allegheny mountains was a crucial "battleground" state, oscillating like a bell clapper, clanging first Republican and then ringing Democratic, six times between 1876 and 1888, swinging each time at the whim of some 6,000 fickle independent voters. * Things came to a head over the winter of 1885 when the dynamic Democratic Governor Isaac Gray (above), seeking a lasting majority for his adopted party, jammed through a gerrymander redistricting of state legislative offices, by re-designing ten traditionally Republican state Assembly seats so they would elect Democrats instead.

SUNDAY: WHEEL MAN The Price of Technology THE LITTLE GREEN HOUSE ON K STREET PART FIVE I guess that houses are like people, in that if they remain standing long enough they can become all things. First the little house on K street was a home and then it was a bordello and a bar, and then it sat empty for a few years. 1892 *************************************************************** James hired his youngest brother, Tom (above), as cashier and bookkeeper at the "Climax" in the early 1890's.

Also put the story in a larger context - your example is but one story among many. On average about 25% of all power failures nationwide (about one in four) are inspired by suicidal squirrels. He suffered a concussion and a broken nose amongst other injuries when yet another suicidal squirrel literally leapt into the spinning spokes of his bicycle. The proof cannot be made."

Senator Benjamin (above) now thought he had his Northern foe pinned. An hour later Stanton arrived and was handed the key. And they must have been very confused. The guest-of-dishonor was stretched naked on a butcher block table. He had brought the man from his post at the Chickasaw nation, some 100 miles south-south east of Fort Pickering. B. It would have been depressing.

Lessup's daughters bitterly demanded Jay repay them for their father's investment, and Jay countered with an offer of a payment of $10,000 a year for six years. It was an Irishwoman named Doucherty. And they succeeded. Still, even with the Lyman's piety, it took seven dry wells before Lyman and Harding produced their first gusher in Santa Clarita, California. He put his healthy young country in the same house, and for a while in the same bed, with this parent who was already yielding to the collectivist cancer. And although they never paid the filing fee (and their case was never on the docket) the founders, whoever they or he was, kept the joke going by arguing with their non-existent critics that they had as much right to gather together as "any other moral and benevolent societies in existence". All the violence had been perpetrated by the representatives of law and order.

John Lees, who had served at the Battle of Waterloo, and had received two saber head wounds at the demonstration on St. First, he is one of the men who brought you the Great Depression; second, he is the man who invented "trickle down economics", which may yet bring you the next depression; third, his name has appeared on more dollar bills than anyone, with the possible exception of Alexander Hamilton; and fourth, his obsession with money was so great that its poison has leached into our own time, for Andrew William Mellon is the 'prater profectio' of the "vast right wing conspiracy." Suffice it to say that if Freud had ever met Andrew Mellon, psychiatry would be a recognized science today.

Andew was lucky enough to be born in Pittsburg during the latter half of the ninteenth century "hell with the lid off" - and to a Scrooge-like father who disapproved of those with..."festive dispositions". And though his estate had been hurt by the massive tax settlement, and even though Andrew had spent the last years of his life giving away much of the wealth he had accumulated, Andrew still held so much money that, in 2007 (seventy years later!) the various trusts that Andrew created saw that his grandson,...

It also seems an inefficient use of resources, what with years of housing, feeding and clothing so many sperm receptacles when, in the end, only one counted. Allow me to explain... * On the day President Abraham Lincoln died, his eldest son, the late Robert Todd Lincoln, (above, called Bob by his father) had just gotten back from the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House. At about 1:40 p.m. But she was never described as a great beauty. His exit had been achieved by nonviolence. The cavernous Ben Springer's Theatre "The Lady Gray Comique" (com-e-cue), at the corner of Front and Bridge Street (modern day 2nd Avenue), was divided between a bar and gambling parlor in front and a variety theatre in the back. * In July of 1878 the Comique featured an entire vaudeville show headlined by "...that unequalled and splendidly matched team of Eddie Foy and Jimmie Thompson."Eddie Foy had been dancing and clowning in Chicago bars to feed his family since he was six. government stopped issuing silver coins. He just called it something else, so the Republicans would swallow the common sense of it without chocking on their own bile. Still, it must be counted against Amos that while he never owned slaves, he did nothing to encourage slavery's demise, when he had the chance to. And always will be.

He wrote Hamilton, "You have deprived me of every thing that's near and dear to me. He lost that job in 1874 for embezzling county funds, which he probably used to finance his education in gambling. * Moving on to Dodge City along with the railroads, Wyatt was hired again as a police officer. The archaeologists are going back to the banks of the Tollense, because they think there is more to learn, more skeletons to be uncovered. This was about all that Jacob shared about the source of the ore in his candle box, before he died of pneumonia in Julia's spare bed, on October 25, 1891.The ore in Jacob's box brought $4,800 from the assay office - a lot of money in those days. And his career in politics thus saved him from being butchered by Mexican troops under General Santa Ana. And that was probably the only reason none of freshly disenfranchised voters in the room started shooting. 30 FRIDAY: INTO THE WOODS Get Ready For A Big Surprise 1920 - THE YEAR WITHOUT A REVOLUTION I don't believe that Ed Barrow (above) was capable of playing the idiot. And that, surprisingly, does come from the head end. It seems important. The line of Lincoln is no more. * Bob could not be blamed for any of the unusual coincidences that marred his life, but neither could they be ignored. That amount was exactly the yearly income of an appeals court justice. *

But Roosevelt was already positioning himself for a possible run for the White House and he could not afford to be connected to the Tammany Hall machine in the public's mind. But there was a war on. * The SS Mont Blanc was just out of New York carrying 2,300 tons of the explosive trinitrophenol (TNP), 200 tons of trintritoluene (TNT), 10 tons of gun cotton and 300 rounds of small arms ammunition. With the feds and reformers sniffing around, Judge Crater felt he could not decide the cases the way Diamond wanted them decided, not without drawing attention and raising suspicions. * That evening, when Connie told Diamond of Judge Crater's attempt at a payoff, Jack could not afford to let the cases drop, not with the Schultz mob sniffing at his heels. Parnell called on the crowd to shun any who took over the property of an evicted tenant. And behind him came the "army", all 86 of them on foot or bicycle. But none of that reality stopped the fight from becoming the most famous twenty seconds in the American West. * Wyatt remained a professional gambler all his life and died in Los Angeles of a chronic bladder infection at the age of 80 years, in January of 1929. An entire Innuit village of 22 families on the Dartmourth shore was drowned by the wave. * Windows were shattered 10 miles away. But then he had been brought to trial by himself for a Christmas Eve 1919 attempted robbery in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. This was a cross between Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and the carnival in Rio. The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands paid him $600,000. But Drummond for one would listen to no such warnings. But the role of the missed opportunity for the application of simple common sense in John Birch's death did not stop candy-king Robert Welch from building an elaborate conspiracy theory around Birch's death; a virtual black hole of paranoia and invective that eventually sucked into it everything Welch came in contact with, including the Republican Party, the Republican President and former five star general and war hero Dwight David Eisenhower -whom Welch accused of being a "conscious, dedicated agent of the Communist Conspiracy" - tooth decay and, believe it or not, the entire state of Alaska.

I'm not kidding about the Alaska thing. His family had immigrated to America when he was 14. It is one of those nasty bits of reality this new generation of American pseudo-politicians seem not to have been taught in their right wing madrases, such as the high school aged Pooh's American Legion's Badger Boy's State Program, which paid for his trip to the Boy's Nation in Washington, D.C. But just like Caesar, Pooh seems intent upon ignoring warnings and committing political suicide. His namesake may have paid the price for that excess of zeal. For that was exactly what was being created on the American frontier. Then because of the flaying about looking for the thing, you lose your train of throught. No strangers were supposed to be in the palace at that hour. Okay?

That same year the Supreme Court reversed itself, and "offical" pledge was no longer compulsory. * Then in 1951 the Knights of Columbus decided the words "Under God" were needed in the pledge, and on "Flag Day", June 14th, 1954, Congress made that addition offical. and they did go...

Then, in November of 1911, at just 55, big brother James died of kidney failure. But very little of that fortune went to Henry, in part because Henry sold the mine after a few years (and eventually died broke), but mostly because of something called "highgrading"."Freighters would line up at the mine with wagons to transport the gold ore (to the crushers and smelters). And when Daniel was elected to the U.S. The spectators were so stunned they were frozen. Senator William Sharon's adopted son from his marraige with his fiirst wife, Frederick Newlander, continued to fight his father's and Althea's divorce settlement in the California courts, delaying and obfuscating, But Frederick also launched a new front in Federal court, which he had access to because the estate Althea was now laying claim to, was spread over two states. Back in the United States, in 1852, Daniel met his legal lady fair, his personal Alice Alquist from "Gaslight", MissTerresa Da Ponte Bagiolo, now Mrs. And while the process was argued behind the closed doors of the Senate, a compromise (of sorts) was reached.

On Saturday, May 16, 1868 the Senate took their first vote on an article of impeachment. Gould that he landed on his feet."

Overnight, Abin Selover became the most popular man in New York City. Just about everybody who knew Thomas figured his death was just a happy accident; but not everybody.

Sir Walter (above) fumed while Francis Howard's marriage was annulled just a week after Thomas had died. Because no matter what you have misplaced, the cost of finding it is always double.

Patience was in short supply. The US Navy had begun a canal (above) that might eventually cut off the river bend just above Vicksburg by joining the Walnut and Roundaway Bayous, before reconnecting with the river below Vicksburg at the tiny hamlet of New Carthage. And almost the first thing George peered at was Mars, where he found...no canals. He said the squirrel walked out

along a power line and then jumped to a transformer. If you want to see the Diamond Mountain that has no diamonds, find Diamond Wash Draw, in Moffat County, Coloardo, about one mile south of the Wyoming state line and a quarter mile east of the Utah state border. From Monday October 8th through Saturday the 13th , 1660 (on the old Julian calendar), the twelve were each subjected to what contemporary witness William Harrison described as "The greatest and most grievous punishment used in England....drawing from the prison to the place of execution upon an hurdle or sled, where they are hanged till they be half dead, and then taken down...". Since everybody was now out of bullets the gun fight was over, and the tally was seven rounds fired, one antagonists wounded, one innocent bystander killed and two more noncombatants injured - a typical gunfight.

Oddly, that same year saw the first use of the word as a second person perfect adjective, when Winston Churchill was quoted as saying, "Hitler seems a little squirrelly to me." The problem is that the small rodents are ubiquitous and as such we assume we know them. But it helped to achieve the impossible. The New Deal became "The Raw Deal". Weary of the dialog, Daugherty responded off handedly, "Make it 2:11," grabbed his bags and headed out to catch the train back to Ohio. * The reporter turned that conversation into this quote, which he stuck into Daugherty's mouth; "I don't expect Senator Harding to be nominated on the first, second or third ballot, but I think we can well afford to take chances that about eleven minutes after 2 o'clock on Friday morning at the convention, when fifteen or twenty men, somewhat weary, are sitting around a table, some one of them will say, "Who will we nominate?" At that decisive time the friends of Senator Harding can suggest him, and can afford to abide by the result." * And amazingly, that is almost exactly how it really happened. But the Scarecrow seized the oil-can from Dorothy's basket and oiled the Woodman's jaws, so that after a few moments he could talk as well as before."Â On Sunday, April the 22nd , the Philadelphia recruits which the Army had been waiting for, arrived in Hagerstown. Again under Mr. There, with a nor'easter brewing in the gathering darkness, the four men struggled to lower a skiff and fill it with their burdensome barrels of silver. They lingered into 1940, when the DuPont family finally pulled their funding, and the group then quietly died. And it would now be illegal for there to be any public assembly on public property without a license.

(Sound familiar?) Adams had permitted the rape of an American servant girl by the Russian Czar (a complete fabrication). But the conservative wing of the GOP charged that "Ike"was a Republican In Name Only, and his administration was nothing better than a "little New Deal" administration.

It seemed that with time, the Republicans managed to forget the lesson Alf had sacrificed himself to teach them.

- 30 THERE'S A WAR ON I find it instructive that the citizens of Halifax, Nova Scotia (above) have never obsessed over how the disaster of December 6th, 1917 could have happened to them. Certainly all these threads came together in Father Coughlin, but clearly they were aleady present in Charles and much of upper class Detroit of the 1920's.By 1930 Father Coughlin's audience numbered over 40 million, and it was said you could listen to "The Fighting Priest" and his entire "Golden Hour of the Little Flower"

through open windows as you walked down any residential street in America on a Sunday afternoon.

F. The maid, of course had already cleaned it up. He added an English bottle, stronger than the French ones, to restrain the 90 pounds of pressure per square inch generated by all that carbon dioxide farted out by the yeast. Roosevelt reminded the press that Thanksgiving was still not an official holiday, and that each year the President picked the date. The staff assumed the rodents were after the sweet nectary of these plants, as they would ignore roses or other non-nectar flowers.

And they might have made it there sooner if Philip IV had just stuck to the rules, and gotten drunk on the vino, instead of the bubbles. She began to loudly denounce witnesses who offended her - in open court. Iman Elf, M.D. On January 2, 1997, Mr. What was needed was what Roosevelt called "priming the pump", but such ideas were anathama to Mellon's economic thinking, and anatham to Republicans today.

Finally, in February of 1932, with Hoover looking for some way to get the disgraced economic mastermind out of the public eye before the November elections, Andrew agreed to step down from Treasury, and accept the post of Ambassador to England. He lashed his ship to an English warship and fought it out until both ships were sinking. First he announced that should he be out of the territory for any reason, then his old comrade William Clark (who Jefferson and made the Indian Agent) would serve as acting Governor. He won the unquestioned backing of President Jefferson after he betrayed Burr, making Jefferson just about Wilkerson's only superior he did not betray.

Eventually she also began to carry a pistol in her hand bag. In a perfect bit of historical staging, the Army's headquarters for the night were in the town's opera house (below), one of the few buildings not damaged by a tornado which had struck Frostburg the year before.After listening to everybody's version of what had happened on the road, Coxey stood on a box on the stage (he was not a tall man), and called for a vote. All he got was a burned finger.

At the War Office (above), Stanton read both notes, and asked, "Do you wish me to vacate the office at once?" Magnanimously, the old man answered, "Act at your pleasure." Stanton insisted on first making a copy of the letter. While Thomas dumbly waited, and a clerk laboriously wrote out an exact copy of the order, Stanton arranged his thoughts and morphed into a petulant two-year old.

At a press conference Director J. But it also provided a sense of excitement for those with a rebellious spirit. There was bitterness in that description, since Jackson and Amos were intent upon dismantling the Bank of the United States and firing its president, who happened to be Mr. The difference in any individual policy was small, but after 15 years the amount impounded while the courtroom wrangling continued was up to $10 million. Of the 100 skeletons uncovered along the river so far, almost all are young male adults (draft age), with many carrying injuries inflicted shortly before death; broken faces, damaged skulls, an arrow head embedded in an arm bone, a thigh bone fracture which mimics that still commonly suffered by horseback riders. He gambled on cards, horse races and he was also, of course a land speculator. At some point in the conversation Connie must have told Diamond about Crater's plans to have dinner at the Chop House that night. What was needed now, explained hero McGregor, were settlers not afraid of hard work and sacrifice, and, of course, a few patriotic investors willing to fund another expansion of the profitable British Empire.

McGregor secured his "in" with English social circles when in 1821 he named the very proper Major William John Richardson as his legate. In May of 1972, when the "Plumbers" were arrested planting "bugs" inside the Democratic Party National Headquarters in the Watergate complex, Murray Chotiner had an office directly above them. * As the crises grew and began to engulf Richard Nixon's Presidency, on Thursday, January 24, 1974,

Murray's Choitner's car collided with a truck in suburban Washington, D.C. Many of the power players from Tammany Hall were her best clients. Amos had thus created the "Spoils System". "They shall not slander me!" she shouted. They were poor people. It was the Hays' Commission that turned Rhett Butler's exit line as he walked out on Scarlet O'Hara into a major social crises, even though the line appeared in one of the most widely read books in America, "Gone With the Wind". Thus the will of the successful was God's will. In 1954 a 20 year study of 40,000 smoking English doctors was published, which confirmed that relationship. Twelve hundred people. And in any case, the Auger was not the guy, I don't think. But if you are of a novel mind set you might ask yourself a few questions.Why would the King of France keep someone locked up in one prison after another -for decades? Why not just kill him and get it over with? And what secret could be so big that the prisoner was required to wear a mask at all times in front of strangers? What secret could be kept secure by ordering a prisoner to never speak to anyone, not even with his jailers? Could such a convoluted plan even hope to work? James Bond villains have simpler plans than that. If you ask me this story is mostly a fantasy invented by Alexande Dumas. To offset this fluctuation Hare and Burke simply increased production. But the disabilities of various head wound survivors was proof that different sections of the brain did perform different functions.

And third, the old adage that medicine is the search for profit after death, was confirmed when in 1866, Dr. And just as the telegraph was being pushed to extinction by the telephone, the lucky "OK" was given yet another new boost on May 5, 1961. And worse, millions dared not invest, thus hurting the nation as a whole. * Consider the very real and profitable Norwich and Worchester Railroad in Massachusetts, whose largest stockholders signed a secret agreement to sell their Norwich stock only to each other. But the pull of the Palace was strong, and Edward somehow managed to return to England, where he was arrested for theft in 1856. In 1860 one of his brothers, who had a good job in Melbourne, Australia (above), invited Edward to live with him. Nash was a valuable member of the unit, and the rumor was that she had amassed a tidy little nest egg, too. Daugherty said nothing, so the reporter suggested further that Daugherty must be expecting the managers to collapse about 2:00 A.M. And the humans stumbled upon this udderly amazing fact; cows got magnetism. He is mostly forgotten today in part because, for the next one hundred years, his sins became the Democratic Party's sins. Mr.Pyle's genius was his discovery that the only difference between soaps was advertising. But that year, Eddie managed to lead a lap. And, strangest of all, there was Aaron Watkins of Indiana, running for President on the Prohibition Party ticket, in this the first year of national prohibition.

Harding and Coolidge won the Bay State by 40 points, 681,000 Republican votes to 277,000 Democratic votes. He escaped, he said, when his master died. It was signed, Nathanial Bacon, General, "By the Consent of ye People", and was made without any of ye people present. And by mid20th century they came to understand that the multi-billion dollar petrochemcial industry depended upon a detailed understanding of the anceint pre-historic, pre-biblical, fossilzed shells of extinct microscopic creatures found in drilling cores. What is amazing is that with this much at stake, Clement convinced the Big Six not to deny the dangers of smoking. Then, since no one was allowed to wear guns while in town, the cowboys buckled on their gun belts and mounted up. The nuts and bolts packed around the explosive, shrapnel intended to kill 150 deputies, instead lacerated Auguste's neck and chest. Charles II back in London would later observe, "That old fool (Berekely) has put to death more people in that naked country than I did here for the murder of my father." A year later the final curtain dropped on William Berekeky. Better telescopes, including one in earth orbit, showed it to have less than two tenths of 1% of the mass of the Earth, and to be only about

half the size of our moon. It needed new purposes. Sarah championed turkey because her middle class homemakers were on budgets, and the randy, strutting bird brains cost less than half per pound what a chicken might.

But the real Turkey revolution came in 1934, when the United States Department of Agriculture discovered the key to making turkeys palatable; artificial insemination. But what finally destroyed Father Coughlin was his support for "The Christian Front".  Remember, Caesar is the mold. He rarely bathed, and spent his time reading and rereading scrap papers he bought for a penny.

Evidently, being known as the best did not interest him. And in 1908 George opened the lens cap on his new 60" reflector telescope in his new observatory atop California's 5,700 foot high Mount Wilson. It was not a surprise. He married and produced at least one son and a daughter. * But of the two remaining masterminds, John and Mrs Johnson, who were last heard of escaping with today's equivalent of $800,000 in cash, nothing more was ever heard. Everybody from Land's End to Inverness was absolutely gobsmacked.

Poyais was a gift from George Frederic Augustus I, King of the Miskito Sambu tribe, who gave their name to the Mosquito Coast of Central America. It was 12,000 cold, hungry and disorganized Americans attacking a few thousand Canadian militia. He sent a telegram ahead to Lathop, to notify the railroad agent there that there might be trouble in the morning. And like a snake, Ramses III lashed out from his death bed against those who had stepped upon him. * In three scandalised trials conducted after Ramses III's death, twenty-seven men and six women were convicted of treason, including her boy, Pentaweret. But if anybody thought the restoration of the monarchy was going to return a certain stability to Britain, they were about to suffer a very rude awakening.Three months later, on Thursday, August 16th of that year, the estate manager for a wealthy Calvinist merchant left his home in Chipping Camden, intending to walk the two miles to the village of Charingworth. Our Replacements Are Already Here.

The states, said Senator Benjamin, "...have reserved to themselves under the Constitution....every right not expressly denied to them by the Constitution". He was elected Mayor and then Treasurer of the city of San Antonio, and later served in the seventh and eighth Texas Congresses. * He also dabbled in East Texas land speculation, and sometime in 1843 or 1844, as payment for a bad debt, Samuel Augustus took possession of a ranch around Matagorda Bay, Texas. The more famous

message, "What hath God Wrought", was telegraphed as a publicty stunt in 1844 and was suggested

by Anne Ellsworth from my home town of Lafayette, Indiana. And that is something we can all be thankful about.

- 30 WEDNESDAY: 1920 - DOG DAYS OF SUMMER 1920 - SEVENTH INNING STRETCH I hate to point it out, but in 1920 the Boston Red Sox began the month of July on a very sour note.

Texas and Colorado couldn't make up their minds and recognized both days as the holiday in question, although the governor of Colorado, Ralph Carr, announced he would eat no turkey on the 23rd. Percival had a nervous breakdown. But it was Francis who laid out in the magazine, instructions for the "salute too far".; "...At the words, "to my Flag," the right hand is extended gracefully, palm upward, toward the Flag, and remains in this gesture till the end of the affirmation."

Forty years later the extended arm salute would be premtpted by Musoillini and Adolf Hitler, and tactfully dropped from the American pledge. * Not that people ever stopped trying to improve upon perfection. And that is where we find Auguste Vaillant on Saturday December 10, 1893 entering the public gallery above the Chamber of Deputies, the French congress, carrying a sauce pan bomb in his overcoat. William was eventually released from jail and inherited $125,000 from an uncle. And indeed, when the Nebraska legislature convened in joint session in January of 1891 things went from the melodramatic to the down right absurd. * To begin with, the new speaker of the House, farmer Sam Elder, decided he was going to bypass the acting President of the Senate, Republican George Meiklejohn, who was also the lieutenantgovernor, and preside over both houses of the legislature all by himself. It is a new form of the old threat to shut down the mill if the employer's candidate isn't elected. A postal service spokesman said, "In the 230 years of postal history, I've never personally heard of another squirrel biting." My guess is, he's just not listening very closely and he's not nearly as old as he implies. The flat topped mountain in front of you is Diamond Peak. God bless us, every one.  - 30 -SUNDAY: WHO ARE THESE GUYS!?!

COXEY'S ARMY: PART SIX I would say that it is a dangerously romantic concept, this idea that government can be petitioned directly by its citizens. And that makes the world much simpler. * For the first two million years of human evolution the limit to language was the sum of the speed of sound divided by the speed of walking, divided by the number, width and depth of rivers and oceans, and the height of mountains and width of deserts separating you from the persons you wished to speak to. Alas, it was a like sending the Little Dutch Boy to stop a forest fire. To achieve that task

Gray had literally locked the doors, preventing Democrats from bolting the building and thus denying a quorum to the Republican majority. According to Will Ector, a school district spokesman, the first victim was "...trying to get it off and another parent was trying to assist...one was nipped on the fingertip and scratched on the arm and the other was bitten on the arm." The errant rodent nibbler then "did a loop around the (blood soaked) classroom and ran out the door", where he encountered his third victim, an innocent 11 year old girl, whom he immediately bit on the arm. But after only one year he smelled the impending scandals and got out. "We...say, help, or we and our loved ones must perish... The performance was described by the Lubin film studios, who were selling a 30 second Kinetoscope of the show to nickelodeon operators, as "a decided novelty". More immediately, Boyd appealed to the U.S. But, finally in 1881, he accepted the position as Secretary of War under President James Garfield. We'll call her Maire for short. Later that same year postal workers in Stillwell, Indiana accepted a parcel post box marked, "live infant". It seemed that Mr. And this was the man the new President, Warren G. In this incarnation March 15th is the political holiday. It is the philosophy of libertarianism. It was Thayer's open kowtowing to the railroads over the previous year which been most responsible for the defeat of the Republican Party in the past election. The missive arrived at Dorthy's home at 847 West School Street in the north side of Chicago in the Lake View neighborhood, not by United States Postal Service - something with a return address or a postal stamp to indicate the point it entered our world - but via the mystical and untraceable communication mode of "automatic writing", "...the process, or product, of writing material that does not come from the conscious thoughts of the writer." * The notice sent to Dorthy explained that before dawn on Wednesday, December 21st, 1954 the sea would rise up and consume England, France and the underpants of everybody in Chicago. Thus a gauge is a standard of measurement, or a tool used to measure. They taunted Daugherty on his boastful support for the turgid and mediocre Ohio Senator, Warren G. Hate is a character flaw. A neurological examination was consistent with a mild herniation of his L4-L5 or L5-S1 disk, which probably resulted from carrying a heavy sack of toys, enduring bumpy sleigh rides, and his jarring feet-first falls to the bottom of chimneys. The couple had five children, and Clarence finally revealed his true identity to poor Ada and the children in a December 1901 letter he wrote as he lay dying in Arizona. And if it had remained merely a matter of Ponzi verses the Boston Post, he might have won that battle. Smothering Mr. And he whispered suggestions in Robert's ear, who passed them along to King James. Not surprisingly he missed. And then he convinced the U.S. And the subsequent invasion of Washington by the army of Roosevelt's New Deal technocrats now destroyed "the incomparably delightful relationship between the official and social life" of Washington. But that never worked out and he even contracted pneumonia. This would later be reprinted on the front page of Haper's Weekly, a national newspaper (above). He had advised William that Sir Thomas was weak, and might be near death already. It was probably the most noble thing Elizabeth I did for her people, something no other monarch of her age did. Everything I ever wanted in my life, I found inside the walls of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. For the next 13 years he continued this divided life, black man James Todd at home, and world renown geologist Clarence King away from home.

Finally, on Monday, August 5th, 1867, Johnson just asked Stanton for his resignation. Occasionally so much more CO2 built up in the bottles that come summer, they exploded. .

He built a fleet of tankers to carry Unocal oil up and down the West Coast. In Jacob's case he worked the Vulture Mine.Henry Wickenburg had traveled in the same wagon train that had brought Jacob Waltz to Arizona. I should point out here the obvious, which is that until the 20th century far more people died drinking water than from drinking booze. There it thrived alongside shrines to Sango (above), the thunder God, and Legba, messenger to all the African gods. Key was also the Federal District Attorney for Washington, and thus a good man to know for anyone who might anticipate developing legal problems.

And again, Tommy was both of those, too. * "I know the corners of this town in the dark" Thomas G. It was almost as if Mozart was trying to send a message to Joseph. The archaeologists who discovered these skeletons want to go back to learn more about this no longer pre-historic life and death struggle. Each and every book became a best seller. The problem was politics. The longer a coin was in circulation the less reliable was its face value.

All others must pay cash.On March 23, 1839 the Post (again) carried the following follow-up story on page two, concerning that mythical field trip the ABRS did not take to New York City. As a teenager Will got his girlfriend pregnant and had to marry her. They were sworn to provide sanctuary to all who asked for it and who sought forgivness for their sins, but...on the other hand, how do you solve a problem like Marie?

How do you catch a cloud of suspicion and pin it down? How do you keep your convent running when you are short of money? The good sisters consulted scripture and after due deliberations decided to rat out their guest.They allowed a cop disguised as a priest to enter the convent and while offering solace to the trouble little lady he escorted Marie right out the front gate, where she was immediately arrested.It is not a happy ending for our little heroine. A waiter ran after Henri,

who shot him. As a small example, consider the life and death of a grease monkey and a gear head, a man who had one big dream. Encouraged, William returned to the Coney Island Beach to confirm the security of the cache, whereupon he made a most distressing discovery. * The larger cache was gone, as was older brother John. "People will deal in chance....Would you not, if you stopped it, promote gambling?"

But the same Grand Jury that indicted Burr missed indicting Wilkerson by just two votes. But Harding would not die until August of 1923, fifteen months and a day after rubbing shoulders with Bob - which seems like a rather extended time frame for an effective curse. Roosevelt, also while lying in his teeth about his intentions, and we have never been able to get out of that bed since." You might notice this disturbing repetition of bed (and parent) analogies throughout Welch's ideology, whether the commies are in the bed or under the bed, alone in the bed or sharing the bed, there are a lot of beds. He refused to leave unless his heavy candle box came out with him. Many nights and every Sunday Carl Browne would berate the men with ideological harangues, selling his vision of the unity of all working and unemployed men along with his version of Christianity mixed with a little reincarnation. J. The 49 year old lingered for almost a year, finally dieing of pneumonia on August 8, 1879. It was this decision that led to Althea's downfall, but not for what was said in court, but for how she reacted to what was said.

The girl was under a lot of pressure. He held up something glittering in his hand. And each November Sarah would bombard her 150,000 subscribers with recipes for Roast Turkey, Turkey stuffing, Turkey gravy, and Turkey stew. It was not a name chosen at random, but self promoted. For more than an hour, diamonds were being found in profusion, together with occasional rubies, emeralds and sapphires." "There wasn't the usual row over who should cook supper, who should wash the dishes, who should care for the stock, which little incidents of camp life had brought us to the verge of bloodshed during the three previous days. Here in Lathrop (above), in 1871, Stanford's California Pacific Railroad had opened the largest hotel in California, built for the astronomical sum of $50,000, with an enormous dinning room, to handle the 12 passenger trains a day that paused in tiny Lathrop to switch engines and crews. The publics' hunger for information on Poyais was fulfilled

by Captain Thomas Strangeways, who penned a book describing the Mosqito Coast as free from tropical diseases, and blessed with fertile soil, which lay atop uncounted veins of gold and silver.

Being a politician, Will also took the opportunity to shore up his own political support by naming his

nephew to the Colonial Council, thus assuming he could count on the support of his family. Phillip's father, Frances Scott Key, had been so familiar with a certain popular drinking ditty (so difficult to sing that it was used as an 18th century sobriety test), that on the fly he converted it into our national anthem, translating "And swear by old Styx, that we long shall entwine, the myrtle of Venus and Bacchus' vine" into "Oh, say, does that star spangled banner yet wave, Ore the land of the free and the home of the brave." * Phillip was forty-two year old widower at the time, with six children, and "the handsomest man in all Washington society", according to Mrs. And if they are laughing at you, they sure don't have confidence in you.

He was not an idiot, but he was smart enough to play one in public.

The lesson is of 1920 then, it seems to me, is that democracy exists in America both of because and in spite of the venality of the American public. Of course, most of these "after market sales" were made with borrowed money, usually borrowed from the previous owner, like an "seller-financed" house on the market today. * And should a speculator be caught short on a payment, the lands would return to the lender. That year Jimmy Clark won in a rear engine Lotus-Ford. However, all this merely proves that a smart woman is just as likely to have terrible a taste in men as a dumb woman. This same day, Chicago outfielder, "Shoeless "Joe Jackson called the courthouse to say he also wanted to confess. Tiffany viewed them gravely, sorted them into little heaps, held them up to the light, looking every whit the part of a great connoisseur. That just left everybody blind. The capitalist sharks now smelled blood in the water. The Court then immediately moved on to the trial of both David and Althea for their most recent show of contempt for the court. Stanton heard Thomas' boast almost as soon as he had uttered it, and at 2 o'clock in the morning as the White House Party was just breaking up, Stanton was awakening a federal judge to sign an arrest warrent. At eight the next morning, as Thomas was just setting down to eat breakfast, he was arrested and charged with violating the Tenure of Office Act, which Congress had passed to prevent Johnson from firing any cabinet member without Congressional approval. When queried, Redpath explained, "I am bothered about a word. Pemberton, a Pennsylvanian who had chosen to fight for the South. to make all things O.K."

Many "honest" shopkeepers rented out their cash boxes overnight to clippers, and many a shop's customers found their change shaved of 2 or 3% of its face value, thus inspiring the descriptive phrase, "a clip joint" as a shop where you were cheated. Governor Robertson never presided over the Senate, and Governor Gray never served as a Senator. How did they get thousands of miles out into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?

Professor Bond concluded the only delivery method that made sense was that an ancient glacier had ground against the cliffs, carried the limestone out to sea when it calved icebergs, which then melted and dropped the pebbles into the abyss. He got into big time crime working for "the Brain", Arnold Rothstein, the man who fixed the 1919 World Series. Thousands of people turned out for speeches and general festivities in the Army's camp that night One of the reasons the welcome was so strong for Coxey's Army in Hyattstown was that the area had for generations suffered with what was described as "the deficient link of the Great National Western Road.". When it was realized that the arch villain Oliver Cromwell had somehow escaped, rewards were offered and notices posted demanding and threatening punishments unless he were returned. To remain descret, Mr. It produced so much protein per square foot that a family could be supported on a quarter of an acre of land. And, that's a wrapture!

George C. Mr. With a month to go, its time for you to name your preferences. They were stacked three high and then two across, in rows of 25. But in this case the wizards had helpfully bid the price of Erie stock so high, they made the premium more than worth the price. Almost half of all retiring members of Congress now see their government service as preparation for a profitable career as a lobbyist. Bond Event Four occurred about six thousand years ago, and humans responded with the domestication of sheep and the invention of bronze. Rather, he urged them to not only accept warning labels on each pack, but to insist that they should write the labels themselves. And the original firebrand of American poltics, the first self described political fire starter, was William Lowneds Yancey.

Yancey's (above) South Carolina family were strongly pro-Federalist, and at an Independence Day

celebration in 1834 the young man told a crowd, "Listen, not then...to the voice which whispers...that Americans...can no longer exist...citizens of the same republic..." He also championed the Federal Union as editor of the "Greenville Mountaineer" - at least until 1835, when he married an Alabama widow with an Alabama plantation and 35 slaves. The United Nations paid $2 million to buy the war surplus aircraft and a company, Commercial Air Transport (CAT), set up by Tommy and run by Claire Chennault, promised to deliver that medicine and food. Nash no longer had any testicles at all, ownership having been returned to the manufacturer) and although the story was clearly based on hearsay and unqualified medical opinion, the eastern papers picked the story up, and you know how that goes. Every yahoo with access to a printing press felt obligated to pontificate. The less they knew of the facts the more opinions they had. Public morality is, it seems to me, an excuse for being ignorant, loudly. And in this case the volume was a thunderclap in a drought.

When poor Corporal Noonan returned from patrol all his protestations of innocence and ignorance fell upon deaf ears. But that figure came up again in August of 1884 when Henry was arrested in New Orleans for passing bad checks totaling $7,000, back in "E" town. Chicago right fielder Max Flack, with a .306 batting average, went one for four that day. By this time, however, William Ralston had managed to convince the Kentucky simpletons to sell their entire claim to him outright. The newlyweds then moved to Alexandria, Virginia and dropped out of history. In 1856 Daniel was elected to the New York State Senate, which shortly thereafter censured him for giving a tour of those august chambers to Miss White, who was at this time identified as the operator of a popular N.Y.C. It was also the first to explore the physics of inverted amusements. Some say it was while giving birth; some say that Philip had her poisoned. The marshal however was transported to jail in Stockton. Unfortunately Joseph encamped his army on mosquito infested marshland outside of Belgrade, and over the next few weeks 33,000 of his troops contracted malaria, including Joseph.

But besides a cutting sense of social humor, to remain in business Dr. To earn a living he practiced law, sharing an office with his older brother, Jack. And by what seemed at the time to be a happy coincidence, Neelly now had urgent business in Franklin, Tennessee, just 20 miles south west of Nashville, Governor Lewis' intermediate destination. His achievement dropped the Sox record to 30 wins and 32 losses, with one tie. But just when it seemed as if Russel would have to send the Governor off into the wilderness alone, a seeming savior arrived at Fort Pickering; * James Neelly; agent to the Chickasaw Indians, and an ex-army major. He approached the insurance company (yes, even in 1830 there were insurance companies), and inquired what they might pay as a reward for the return of some of the silver. And, with a little modification in spelling, it changed from "Buncombe", to "bunkum", and then to "bunk", as in a useless, pompus and empty speech, or "bunko" a false promise intended to further a fraud. * Gobbledygook has a much simpler history than bunko, and more recent. He never forgot and he never forgave. Every drop of water was filled with pathogens, bacteria and assorted filth. Louis, and in early January 1808 he advertised for subscribers at $3 a year. And a shlimazel is just like a Jonah, except that God is not involved. This may have once seemed an esoteric pursuit, (although as a life long rock hound it sounds like heaven to me) but in that seemingly meaningless melange of sediments Professor Bond stumbled upon layers of limestone pebbles which had nothing to do with the ocean floor. I believe it was William Yancey whom Jeffereson Davis was thinking of when he said the epitaph of the Confederacy should be, "Died of a Theory.'

After censure, Yancey returned to Alabama, where he died in July of 1863, just 2 weeks before his 49th birthday. R. He died there in 1616, as proven by his will, which details the division a rather large estate, including several properties in London. In fact he had already ordered her present, a new canoe.

In all six banks were pulled under by the Ponzi scheme. There were lots of people worried about just whose pocket one of Polly's distinctive calling cards might fall out of next. In fact squirrels are such an ignored threat to our infrastructure that if Osama bin Ladin had been a squirrel, he would probably still be out there.

In another terrorist incident with shadows of 9/11, a recent Americans Airlines flight from Dallas to Tokyo was forced to make an unscheduled stop in Honolulu, after the flight crew heard what they described as a "skittering noise" from above the cockpit. As he stood, he shouted, identifying himself as a police officer, and ordered Terry to stop. Look at the art work from his weekly newspaper (above and below)Ă‚ and make your own assessment. Marshall, who had disarmed David Terry in the courtroom confrontation of '88. But she finally made money off Jacob's mine, once she gave up trying to find it herself, once she switched to selling maps to Jacob's "Lost" mine, for $7 apiece. I prefer Mozart's "The Wedding of Figaro" myself, but then it is a generally accepted truth that I have no taste in opera. The startled crew rushed to Phineas' assistance and found him awake and alert. Or so she said.

"Passion...is violence to which you get hooked by pleasure."

Isabelle Adjani "In the city and county of San Francisco...on the twenty-fifth day of August, A.D.1880, I, Sarah Althea Hill....do here, in the presence of Almighty God, take Senator William Sharon, of the state of Nevada, to be my lawful and wedded husband...I agree not to make known the contents of this paper or its existence for two years..." And "...I, Senator William Sharon, of the state of Nevada...take Sarah Althea Hill.... Luckilly they were stumbled upon by compasionate Indians, who fed and reclothed the men before passing them on, tribe after tribe, until they were welcomed, each sad ragged party after the other, by the survivors of Astor's ccean going disaster. Charles Tiffany (above in his 5th Avenue shop) was the public personification of Tiffany and Company. And that again confirmed McMasters' documents; Ponzi was worse than broke. Lead by constables and followed by a squad of soldiers, the sad procession passed through Holborn Street, St. It was the brainstorm of James Upham, junior editor of The Youth's Companion. They were his fellow board members on the New York and Erie Railroad, and it seemed to them that Jacob was overextended. Here they camped for two days. Even today, three out of every four oil fields are discovered because of surface "seeps" of asphalt. Dove's death that is. In exchange for a small taste (bribe), boatmen working the ferries

between the immigration station on Ellis Island and Manhattan would alert ropers (outside men) when they spotted a rube with a crowded oakus (a new immigrant with a full wallet). I found you on your uppers in Chicago" Smith shouted. Tey also managed to draw the army into the conspiracy.

Naturally, "The Commodore", as Vanderbilt liked to be called, was seeking a monopoly, so he could charge whatever freight rates he wanted, and he began to buy stock in the Erie. And none of these great men were above hiring thugs to drive squatters off "their" land. It was a sorry end for the "Old cradle of an infant world, In which a nestling empire lay" (Ode to Jamestown, James Kikke Paclding).

Hunt's command, they scattered in search of food. She and her sons, John and Richard, were all hanged, but she was hanged first. The authorities were hoping the older boy, Richard, if freed from his mother's witchcraft, would confess. Near the bottom, the ramp curved upward. And then came the lousy camp sanitation, because the officers were already learning from their commander.

But at 48, he was getting too old to risk his life four times a day for ten cents a ticket. In the words of Tom Jensen, director of PPP, "Only 3% of the Republicans we surveyed said they voted for Barrett last fall, but now 10% say they would, if they could do it over again." What can you say about a Republican who is so not a RINO that he is driving voters to the Democrats? You can say that he is the winner of the 2011 Ides of March Award! Our winner was described by the Boston Globe as "...a boyish-looking man with sleepy eyes". Frederick's lawyers argued in Federal Court that the new will which Althea had produced was a forgery, as were the marriage contracts she had used to win her alimony claim in the California courts. Window awnings 12 stories above the blast caught fire from the heat. Okay, it's not up to the standard of "Gimmie Some'a Lovin'", but it was pretty hot for its day. So if you've got a date in Cons-tan-tinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul." (The name was officially changed in 1930, at the behest of the Turkish Post Office.)

But my favorite Jimmy Kennedy lyric remains the vaguely ominous drumbeat of... Each of their publishers had an axe to grind, from conspiracy theories ( the Anti-Masonic Christian Herald) to benevolent rich people (the National Philanthropist), or they carved out special interest niches (the New England Farmer). "...give me the sum of (a) thousand dollars and I will leave town and take my daughter with me...". Each source is independent of the others, and although they would not pass muster in a court of law, in history research they are about as close as we are ever going to get to the truth. In 1839 an almost destitute Gregor McGregor left England and sailed for Venezuela.

That's where I fell in love when the stars came out to play. Offered a chance to surrender, he responded, "I have not yet begun to fight." Then the British warship surrendered to him.

When that war was over John Paul Jones was out of work. Yancey denied it, but that question indicated there was no chance that England would recognize the South. The cowboy fell from his horse, and either from being shot or from the fall, he broke his arm. Does that sound familiar?

The army post was thus at the very edge of the famous "Frontier West", and home to about 650 men and some 300 women attached to the U.S. Seventh Cavalry regiment. Robert Marlin tried to describe what kind of desperate people would sign up for a year's service in such a place. "Immigrants, especially those from Ireland and German, filled the ranks. Joseph decided the best way to counter that move was to take Bada Vida, before the Turkish reinforcements arrived.

They were armed with standardized mass produced bronze daggers and hand axes. The evidence was so convincing. And with the battles of Island Number Ten, and the river fleet Battle of Memphis (above), on June 6, 1862, the river was in Union hands from its headwaters down to the Tennessee/Mississippi state border. He was an alcoholic and the worst kind of gambler, which is say an inveterate one. If the oath were to stop after the word "stands" we would have a simple sentence ("I pledge allegiance to the flag) with two modifying phrases ("of the United States of America", and, "and to the Republic for which it stands".) In this case the Republic is the modifier of the flag, which makes sense because the original intent was to sell flags; remember?

But that was not good enough for all those who honestly wanted to improve on the oath, make it

clearer, avoid confusion and misunderstandings. Don Juan has the chutzpa to sing, "To none will I succumb! For me there's no repentance." How refreshing to meet an honest liar, if only on the stage. In this strange element, you can't keep a live cork down."

Life Magazine. Attorney General, "David A. They were too big, their orbits were odd, Neptune was spinning on its side and they both wobbled. The term was borrowed from canal builders who plotted their work cross-country by compass - inland navigators they were called. In fact Cohen donated $5,000 to Nixon's 1946 campaign and provided free space for a "Nixon for Congress" office in one of his buildings", again according to Chotiner. * There are two pronouncements usually credited to Murray Chotiner. And when Alexander McKay, another junior partner in the venture, commented on the lousy food, Thorn called him "the most worthless human who ever broke a sea biscuit." That night McKay wrote in his notebook "I fear we are in the hands of a maniac" McKay had no idea.

Wilson Hunt and his party left St. This shot hit Key in the thigh. So he took it. The pressure by 1970 was for Nixon to increase taxes to pay for the war. Nobody got anything done because nobody could hear anybody else. In the end, the nicest thing I can say about Stanton is that he was a "rude and offensive" manic depressive lunatic on the right side of history.

When Stanton first set eyes upon Lincoln, in an 1857 Cincinnati courtroom, the bully loudly demanded, "Where did the long-armed baboon come from?" Eight years later Stanton lay literally sobbing on Lincoln's deathbed. Libbie wrote that Tom Custer was very "put out" by this desertion.

By now anything short of total domination by slave states was not a victory, in Yancey's view.

Also in 1838 the true nature of the man was revealed, when an alleged political insult led to a street brawl between Yancey and his wife's uncle. That was the real answer to the bankruptcy of supply side economics; demand side economics.

"In front of them, and at the end of the road of yellow brick, was a big gate...There was a bell beside the gate, and Dorothy pushed the button and heard a silvery tinkle sound within. There are some 4,000 species of Formaminifera in today's oceans, living from the surface to the bottom mud, from the artic to the tropics. Pull on either one and the whole knot might start the great unraveling. * Finally, on August 16, ten days after her husband had last been seen, Stella sent her chauffeur to the city to look for her husband. According to the account by Stephen Ellis, it was papers related to those cases that Judge Crater went through in his office on August 6, 1930. Again we deny it. She ran off to seek protection with her husband in exile. After a two hour tearful visit, heavily documented by the company publicity department, the children were "mailed Special Delivery" back to the Alco, Tennessee Post Office, where their mothers were anxiously waiting for them. And Dr. Physically they were very similar, and they shared the post of Secretary of War, albeit a century apart. Sharon... He forbade his normally profane roustabouts from cursing on his first California drilling site, which earned it the name of Christian Hill". But Doctor von Brucke did invent the field of psychodynamics, which, while a medical dead end in itself, was to have a great impact on his student, Sigmund Freud.

But Freud's discovery of the subconcious mind and repressed psychosomatic phobias and dreams

about locks and keys and mik maids and bows and arrows was still a decade in the future in 1875 - which was a shame because a little Freud sure would have helped those poor ladies at Fort Abraham Lincoln in 1878. However, I believe his bulbous nose and erythematic face may indicate long-term ethanol abuse. As teenagers they ran away together, and in 1799 were married in Nashville, about the time their daughter, Parthenia, was born. And it was appropriate that "his" fort, standing on the bluffs (above) along the Mississippi River, was half military establishment and half private enterprise, which sold and distributed goods to the Chickasaw Indian nation. The firm boasted that their new Senior Director of Government Affairs had been "deeply involved in the Republican party and conservative movement leadership structures." Once settled in, Abramoff assembled his "dream team" of lobbyists, including Shawn Vasell, previously an aide to Senator Conrad Burns (R-Mt), Tony Rudy, previously the Chief of Staff for Tom DeLay (R-Texas), Todd Boulanger, previously an aide to Senator Robert Smith (R-NH), Amy Berger, previously an aide to Senator John Rockefeller (D-WV), Padgett Wilson, previously an aide to both Paul Coverdell and Nathan Deal (both R-GA), and Kevin Ring, previously an aide to John Doolittle (R-CA) and John Ashcroft (R-MO). In Pennsylvania the level was 25%. Roosevelt was now ready for Social Security, a program he designed to defeat what he knew would be future attempts to destroy it. Ramses crushed this first worker's revolt in history as if he were the Governor of Wisconsin. Give her the best, and as cheap as you can." It seems the Senator had agreed to provide Althea with rooms at the Grand, which was connected via a convenient second story bridge across the street with Sharon's more opulent Palace Hotel (above). In 1932 fifteen thousand well organized WWI veterans marched on Washington, petitioning their government for early payment of their long promised war bonuses.

They called this hybrid a "factor". Daniel would have been condemned to die in obscurity, remembered only as the first defendant to use the temporarily insanity defense in America, but the outbreak of the civil war saved his reputation. This proved to be a bad idea, as just two days after launcing their tiny armada, two men drowned and two canoes were overturned (dumping all their food and supplies) as the river alternated between cascades, rapids and rock stewn shallows. He was put on a high-fibre, low cholesterol diet, and advised to reduce his smoking and drinking. And to everyone's amazement, Ponzi won a $500,000 judgment. Fast.

In the public's mind, Mellon, who was by then 70 years old, had become the face of the "old system".

And George Hoyt just wasn't fast enough in escaping. I mean, there's Attila, Genghis... The fifth shot misfired, and witnesses managed to restrain Daniel from delivering a 'coup de grace.' Not that it mattered; Phillip Key would soon be dead. The eight defense lawyers reminded the jurors that Daniel was "...in a state of white heat, (which) was too great a state of passion for a man to be in, who saw before him the hardened, the unrelenting seducer of his wife". "Man is to be found in reason, God in the passions."

I will offer you a few guidelines to help you weed out the flash in the pan jackasses and incompetents from the truly deserving egotistical political hacks. But problems arose when

some of the little cheepers in ever shipment died in their boxes en route, and the customers sought reimbursement from the Post Office. The ladies reluctantly agreed. In 1856 Daniel was elected to the New York State Senate, which shortly thereafter censured him for giving a tour of those august chambers to Miss White, who was at this time identified as the operator of a popular N.Y.C. He was wrong, course, since very few humans, other than politicians, behave like big clouds of hot gas.

And that was probably not an exaggeration. * At a time when railroads were the high tech, Jacob Little, tall and slim and "careless in his attire, wearing a hat like that of a farmer, and not a very prosperous one", was known as the 'Railway King'. But Grant didn't trust Johnson. Having led armies to defeat slavery the General had no intention of aiding a President seemingly intent on protecting the institition. Amos had thus created the "Spoils System". No matter whom you arrested, ten minutes with the prisoner strapped to a rack and you could get them to admit almost anything.Of course, if your suspect was too connected to be tortured, the only alternative was to lock him up while you slowly collected evidence. Edgar Hoover to tap The Cork's office phones. Louis to avail themselves of the bounty. .

He asked him to go to Richmond to attend the trial of that lightning rod of Federalist politics, Aaron Burr. * Burr (above) was, depending on whom you choose to believe, either a hero seeking to strike a blow against the Spanish empire, or he was a traitor who had raised a small army to foster rebellion within the United States. Nobody ever asked Madame Montespan or the Duchesse of Orleans how their names came to be on a list of people who had bought "inheritance powders". Judge Field ordered David Terry to spend six months in the Alameda county jail. Then, as darkness began to fall that night, "...almost as if Fate, unconvinced the exploding chemicals...had struck a death blow to Halifax, was now calling upon nature to administer the coup de grace...". He built pipelines and refineries. Percival had even calculated Planet X's mass, and he knew exactly where it had to be in the sky, 40 times further out from the sun than the earth. * For ten years Percival and his assistants - okay, mostly his assistants - scoured photographs of the night sky, searching for the tell-tale movement in the star field that would herald the discovery of Planet X. Under instructions from Jack Diamond, it is alleged, Connie asked Judge Crater to reverse on appeal some lower court decisions which had hurt Jack Diamond. There was no third act. Mahon, and steal $175 from his wallet. As the addition of the word "Commercial" indicated, Ralston was dreaming big - very big. They tied a napkin around the bomb and then the three of them, the cops and the office boy, carried the bomb suspended between them to the local police station at the rather mis-named Rue des Bon Enfants (Street of the wonderful children.) There the bomb exploded, killing four cops and the office boy.

Henri had to lay low for awhile, but he was still living in anonymity in a crummy apartment when he opened his anarchist newspaper on February 4, 1894 to read of Auguste's dramatic speech at his execution. - 30 - NEXT WEDNESDAY THE SECRET LIFE OF CAPITALISM Part Three Optical Delusion FRIDAY WAR AS WAS What Has Changed Over the Last Four Thousand Years HOME IS THE HERO

Thorn left first, on September 8, 1810 in command of the 290 ton, 10 gun ship, the Tonquin. A few moments later, Stackpole guided Althea and David Terry to seats at a nearby table. He carefully left this "infernal device" outside the second floor offices of a mining company just before lunch on November 8, 1892.

A lowly Porter noticed the sauce pan, and realized immediately it was probably not somebodies' lunch. had always done more to help blacks than the Democrats had - Not since the Civil War, but its the thought that counts, right?

The Young Republicans organization was founded during this election to get out the "youth" vote. At the same time the Union Navy in New Orleans ran war ships up the Mississippi River past the guns at Fort Hudson and tried to shell Vicksburg into a quick submission. Across the street from the opera house the Great Unknown Smith unloaded again, this time to the press. Harding for President.

Joseph. He has had all his immunizations, including all available vaccines for tropical diseases. And more directly, Rove's take no prisoners style can be traced through Lee Atwater, (of "Willie Horton" ad fame) to one Murray Chotiner, who was Nixon's brain.. * Murray Chotiner was probably the last political campaign manager who had a day job. For two decades the American electorate was looking for something else.

That fall of 1860 the Northern Democrats nominated Senator Stephen Douglas, The Constitutional Union Party nominated John Bell (but only because their first choice, John Crittenden, said he felt he was too old), the Republicans nominated Abraham Lincoln (above), while the Southern Democrats nominated John C. The California Attorney General appealed to the U.S. Peter' Field, told a friend, ""At Waterloo, there was man to man.

It was a great victory which didn't cost the Turks a dime. Rolling back the tin foil, there, with his nose bent by the weight of the coffin lid, was the recognizable face of John Paul Jones. The couple had a daughter in 1901 and a son in 1907, but Andrew became convinced that Nora was seeing a certain debonair and dashing cavalry Captain, George Alfred Curphey - who had already been named as co-respondant in the South African Vivian divorce case of 1907. - 30 WEDNESDAY: 1920 - SEVENTH INNING STREATCH The Beginning of the End.

Marie panicked. One was moral, but the other was not in the eyes of the wealthy, who, of course, owned and had invested in the current technology - the railroads.

Put in such stark black and white imperatives the argument may seem absurd to us today, and, in fact there are indications it seemed just as absurd to the citizens of 1894. The partners let it be known that if the Bull of Wall Street showed his face in Boston again, they intended on claiming his ears. * It was maneuvers such as that which inspired a handful of the lesser wizards of Wall Street to plot Jacob's demise. In fact, freighting for the Vulture was more profitable than mining. Allen learned that the little cheerful Italian had received over a quarter of a million dollars in loans from the Hanover Trust Bank, he ordered in two examiners.

It took the examiners only a couple of days to realize that McMasters had probaly gotten it right; Charles Ponzi was in all likelyhood overdrawn. A week after the accident, on Janurary 30th, he died. * Nixon's office released the following statement on February 3rd, 1974; "I am profoundly saddened by the death of Murray Chotiner. Outraged, a group of female Cave Dwellers chained themselves to the trees - their final line in the sand had been drawn at trees, not people.

Mr. Knox was troubling. Crater thought it was a mugging and he fought to get out of the cab. For the first time it its history, ignorance reigned in Timbuktu. By evening the Boycotts and a young niece living with them, were alone in the house. * A letter written by "Captain" Boycott was published in the London Times.

That there will be no more opportunities open to labor in the next four years than there have been in the past four...That there will be no more flour in the bin with a McKinley in the White House than there has been with a Cleveland....We admit that this is rather a gloomy forecast; but experience warrants it and events will justify it." They certainly did.

What Coxey wanted from the Federal government was not charity. This may be due to a repressed psychological trauma he experienced, head trauma, or, more likely, the mythical nature of his existence.

While the Erie Board prepared to receive the invaders, Jay managed to slide a bill through the New York State assembly making the issuing of worthless stock retroactively, legal.

This slight of hand was achieved by the simple expedient of giving William "Boss" Tweed, the head of political graft in New York, a seat on the Erie board.

Still, if there is nothing new in the story about a lad being arrested with Queen Victoria's undies stuffed down his pants, it is at least entertaining to read about it.Early on the morning of June 20th, 1837 Alexandria Victoria made a typically teenager's entry into her diary; "I was awoke at 6 o'clock by Mamma....I am Queen."

His ineffectualness at dealing with the Great Depression (the stock market crash had occurred just 6 months after he first took office) was so obvious that Herbert won only 6 states - Pennsylvania, Delaware, R.I., Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. And because Jacob had been born in Germany, making him a "Deutsch man" or 'Dutchman' to parochial American ears, the magical mystery was marketed as the "Lost Dutchman Mine."You too can find the Lost Dutchman Mine.

As proof of this contention I now present you with the head of Emile Henri, who lost his head over the injustice he suffered because of another inarticulate Frenchman who sought to challenge the establishment and managed only to blow his nose at them.

And every Wig contractor had their mail contracts cancelled, unless they hired only Democrats (a tactic duplicated by Republican Tom Delay's 2000-2004 K Street Project). The towns of Halifax and Dartmouth were just starting their work days. The outcome was, I think, the measure of our skill as lobbyists. It would be difficult to maintain an image as a heartless dedicated anarchist with a mommy. According to the New York Times, On May 21, 1894 at "4:07 a.m....the iron doors swung apart...Henri was ghastly white, but walked with a firm step. The new Secretary of War, John Armstrong, could never make up his mind what the objective of the campaign was supposed to be.

He ordered his men to surround the meeting house, and announced he would kill everyone inside if he were not given total command at once. The next year a Pensacola, Florida probation officer shipped six year old Edna Neff to her father in Christiansburg, Virginia. He grew into a strikingly handsome young man, and a natural leader. Fourth, the interstate slave trade was to be unimpeded, even in the Free States. The suddenly widowed Mrs. And at 1625 K street, you can still find some 24,000 square feet of floor space available for rent at just $40 a square foot. No Guardians appeared with boarding passes.

A devout Muslim, Mansa felt no need to convert all his subjects. So, for a third time, the old soldier pushed his rock of Presidential command up the hill to confront his nemeses.

When Dorothy presently asked him a question the Tin Woodman could not open his mouth, for his jaws were tightly rusted together. But the most famous Maverick of all was another Samuel, this one born in Pendleton, South Carolina, in 1803. * This Maverick, Samuel Augustus, graduated from Yale in 1825 and was admitted to the bar in 1829.

Because he experiences total darkness lasting many months during winter at the North Pole, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) may be a contributor to his depression. His father had begun the naturalization paperwork in 1849 but events, both personal and political, had intervened. All four members of the corporation were arrested.The invention of "Burking" which had given rise to the company, had also so disguised the method of death that it might prove impossible for the authorities to prove any murder had even occurred. And he bought a lot of souvenirs. * Mansa was leading 80 camels just to carry his gold. Treatment and Counseling: All Mr. Twice he was forced to resign from the Army. He had become obsessed with finding the body of John Paul Jones in 1897 after a biography of the old salt was published.

Nash was a man. I agreed to it."

* The assignations took place at 888 Fifteenth Street in Washington (above), between K and L streets, in a run-down racially mixed neighborhood just around the corner from the Sickles' rented home. He had then managed houses of prostitution in Peoria, Illinois for several years, before becoming a lawman in Wichita, Kansas. Recently, on the playground of a Florida preschool, a small child and a Highway Patrol officer were assaulted by an average everyday squirrel, a creature most humans would take no notice of. The curse, it seemed, had been either broken or maybe it was just exhausted. And, alas, William fell victim to his ambitions. Ă‚ Early in 1710 he stole a bay gelding, the property of Mr. They are looking to attract an audience, i.e. In fact, under Elizabeth's orders, officials of the English court had been visiting Edinburgh for years, to smooth the transfer of power. And if farmers thought the prices for hides were approaching the bottom they might hold onto more of their bulls, thus ensuring more cows for next season, when the prices might be better. The town was then divided between the uptown establishment Republicans, and the working class Democrats who were litterly on the bottom land. In any case, Tey even had conspirators working inside the Thebian police force. They are prey animals..." It was the kind of comforting speech often given by movie experts to explain why Godzilla or the zombies or the Killer Squirrels are not going come back, usually just before they return and eat the expert. He wrote to a Philadelphia friend, Mahlon Dickerson, in early November, "What may be my next adventure, God knows, but on this I am determined, to get a wife." * Many women were interviewed for the job, in Virginia and Philadelphia and even Cincinnati, but none were willing to move with Lewis to the distant frontier, even as a Governor's wife. And if you are feeling sorry for the Commodore, remember that Cornelius himself once said, "Law, what do I care about the law? Ain't I got the power?" Another libertarian hero.

With the Commodore's cash, and further fortified by looting the Erie's assets, Jay, Fisk and Drew began their own complicated scheme to raise freight rates on the Erie Railroad. And ultimately, like all the other great forces of nature, Paul Boyton came to Coney Island. * In 1895, when Paul Boyton stepped off the train from Chicago, his sly but unapologetic mustache was still brown.

She was buried "...through the kindness of individuals" under the name of "Parcella Post." How could you call such a world as that, "simpler" than ours? * As you would expect from people living in such complicated times, the denizens of that ancient confusion were able to predict the problems and solutions faced by our current, "simpler", electronic age. Burke had abandoned a wife and two children in Ireland, but in Scotland he had picked up a common-law wife, Helen M'Dougal. For example, we know the Pharaoh's harem had a very nice choir.

* But besides harmonizing, the ladies of the harem must have earned their keep between reproductive sessions by cutting ribbons at temple openings, encouraging teenagers to just say no to drugs and reminding stone masons of their vital role in the Pharaohonic economy. It may seem a complicated train of events, but please bare with me, while I try to explain how my mind works.

THE FUNDAMENTALIST CREED I began reading "The Fundamentals; A Testimony to the Truth", the seminal work of Christian fundamentalism, and quickly began to wonder how such a document had come to exist. When he died in 1870 he left holdings of over 300,000 acres and a reputation for independence - not being branded by any special interests. * His son, Samuel Maverick jr., fought with distinction in the Civil War (for the south) and was promoted to second lieutenant. The verb "to squirrel" meaning to save something for later use was not recorded until 1939. Nash showed talent as a seamstress and tailored officer's uniforms for extra money. Thanks in large part to Amos' constant attacks, Jackson easily won the election. Our defender of the honor of chaste womanhood was thus alleged to be a dead-beat dad of an illegitimate child. The tamping rod landed 80 feet away, smeared in blood and brain matter.. But the boy actually was evidently a socialist,  who did not appreciate the virtues of Burke and Hare's capitalism. Regulations maintain the market. Many put their money back into his company. On May 5th, 1875 pitchers for the Washington baseball team surrendered twenty runs to their opponent.

He gleefully dispatched Congressmen James Monroe and Fredrick Muhlenberg to confront Hamilton in person. They were adorned with engraved bracelets and their robes were held together with bronze pins with perforated round heads. And so he never had to deal with the gobbledygook his son did.

WEDNESDAY: THE LITTLE GREEN HOUSE ON K STREET PART FOUR How The Money Rolled In BIRTH OF THE BOYCOTT I can describe the exact moment of conception. It was too late for Roosevelt to change his mind in 1939. But the economic depression inspired at least in part by the Democratic economic policies, had become too deep. And even though Joan and Richard both insisted on their innocence, the investigators felt certain that John had not lied, as he had implicated himself by admitting he had suggested the crime. Of course, most of that money had to go right back out in order to pay dividends to earlier investors. He became the smitten Cupid to her Psyche. That brought the Erie War to a temporary end. The government's response was to ban the rally. I encourage other physicians with access to patients working in allied professions (e.g.Nightly Teeth-Purchasers or Annual Candied Egg Providers) to investigate whether analogous anatomical/ physiological/psychological syndromes exist. He needed lots of investors, and lawmakers to protect the investment. "Thus", said Judge Bayard Paine forty-five years later, "tragedy was averted in Nebraska statecraft." Instead, tragedy was converted into low comedy. * The outgoing governor, Republican John Thayer (above), was the most hated man in Nebraska, the man whose behavior over the past year had been most responsible for the defeat of the Republican Party in the past election. The surf was pounding. The two infants who died in this assault were MacArthur's trophies, as were the hundreds of mostly women, who were beaten and bloodied in this lesson for the lazy. But one of the occasional side effects of a frontal lobotomy are seizures caused by scar tissue within the brain. Byron said "who the God's love die young." Eddie was 37. And everybody began to suffer from malaria. Spurling in the chest, killing him instantly.

The judges, shocked at the interruption, decided there was no point in continuing Jane's trial for coining, and immediately tried her and William for the murder of poor Mr. Homophobic troopers tended to shoot first, and just say no afterward. And although the horses never complained, they were kind of important to survival on the plains and so that form of animal husbandry was discouraged. So prostitution by the laundresses was tolerated as long as the woman did not become really good at it or "notorious".

In short Mrs. So by the time the Captain arrived, although the Elephant hotel was still open, it was on its last legs. * Paul Boyton was attracted by the 16 cheap acres directly behind the failing hotel (the above photo was taken from the Elephant's hinie). The important thing for them was that he was gone. * Will Hays served as Hardings' Postmaster General. To call Bob a Jonah seems over-wrought. And just in case Robert decided to blurt out some embarrassing truth at his trial, two men stood at either side of Robert while he testified, just in case it was necessary to muffle the mimbo.

The result of the trial was a far gone conclusion. He helped Morse create and run the International

Telegraph Company (it would later become International Telephone and Telegraph). She was three months pregnant when, in 1853, she and Daniel were married a second time, at her parent's insistence, by the archbishop of New York. * Not that the religious ceremony influenced Daniel's piggish behavior in the slightest. Holy, cow!

P.S. They were both sentenced to death, but instead the King ordered him sent to the Tower for life, while Francis was confined in her home, which is where she would have been anyway because she was "with child". And when, in January, Crittenden presented his "Compromise" again, this time to the new Congress, the new Republican majority replaced it with an assertion that, as Lincoln phrased it, "The Constitution is not a suicide pact." It was a fundamental point upon which Lincoln and the Republican Party were not willing to compromise.

Just short of a year after the great debate, Edward Baker, serving as a colonel in the Union Army, would die in a foolish and pointless battle at "Ball's Bluff" in Virginia. Hamilton resigned from Washington's cabinet in January of 1795. Back in the woods they planted corn and rye, built a cabin, and a barn and a stable. Most of the Army had long since stopped listening to his speeches, referring to him in private as the "Great humbug." But they also noticed that after the oration, while they settled into their bed rolls on the cold ground, Browne and Coxey spent every night in warm soft beds in local hotels. Only a Medici could see the humor in humiliating the people who handled your food. But Ponzi did not stay there long. A railroad had recently been completed, connecting the U.S. He suffered from bad teeth, a bad back, and about 10% had suffered from some form of healed head trauma even before they enlisted, making them eligible to play in the NFL. The intended bronze likeness of Jefferson would not be cast and put in place until in 1948, when bronze was no longer a vital war commodity. * Later that same year, 1943, the new 11 story office building at 1625 K street, built on the site of the Little Green House, would be also be completed. But, as Jesus before him, Lyman found he would need funds to support his ministry. Thomas' ego could not resist boasting to everyone that he was the brains behind Robert's success. By six the next morning Sir Thomas was dead.

That confession produced an investigation led by Sir Francis Bacon (above), part time playwright and the Royal Attorney General. The huge windows in the front of NYSE shattered, showering glass on the trading floor. And Harry Burn, who had a long record of voting against suffrage, had finally decided to vote for the 19th Amendment to the constitution because his mother told him to. Less than six months after Allen and Slack had shared the existence of the Diamond Mountain with him, Ralston was planning on transplanting the entire Amsterdam (above) diamond market to San Francisco, replete with cutters, polishers, graders, wholesalers and, of course, customers. It was simply unbelievable.

"We all need to look into the dark side of our nature - that's where the energy is, the passion. But as Newt Gingrich could tell you, its the details that get you killed. But the merucrial clerk died four days after being confirmed by the Senate, on Christmas Eve, 1869. From Vicksburg these supplies can be distributed by rail all over the Confederacy....Let us get Vicksburg and all that country is ours. "Highgrading" was the name of this practice, stealing the highest grade pieces of ore. The only other losers,, besides the Ausrians, were the tzigani who not only lost their schnapps but also lost their horses, and an unknown number of human casualties. Instantly a squirrel assaulted Andrew.

Company profits went from $10 million in 1900 to over $50 million in 1908.

In fact they were also locals, pressed into service as "special constables". The punishment was set by yet a third group of witnesses to the murder, as death -Â all while the corpus delicti was still warm.

Needless to say, Jefferson was not happy that Christmas had been canceled. That ambivalence seems to stem at least in part from his work at Diamond Mountain. Admit it; there is no defense against April Fool tomfoolery, except a preemptive strike. It turns out the one nation Oliver never even attempted to conquer was Gaul And then at the age of 59, on his death bed, on the afternoon of September 3, 1658, Oliver was beset by humility at long last (as well as a urinary tract infection - which is what kills you when you don't have antibiotics). The "Super Squirrels" of Chorlton have become "pepper spray resistant" and there was no stopping them now. After the old gentleman was revived he was effusive in his thanks. And although Sharp's widow eventually identified Jereboam's voice as the one she heard call out "Covington", she had initially identified it as the voice of one of her husband's political opponents.

What with the revolution and wars, by 1796 the cemetary was abandoned and forgotten. He wrote Pratt sycophantic letters, in one describing the organizing meeting for the new community. The Imo's prow sliced into the starboard bow of the Monte Blanc. Yancey shot the man dead on the street. The next morning, Eddie and Parnelli had breakfast together. Here to save our country from a communistic plot. Large crowds stopped to watch as the two ships sounded their horns in alarm and drew inexorably together. English linguistic bull artists have noted that cows moo in local dialects and inflections. But what did raise this tawdry tale of sin and politics out of the common sewer and dropped it right onto the throne room was that from all indications one of the killers was sleeping with the King - along with one of the most beautiful MILFs in all of 17th century England.

But what do you wear when you find testicles on a dead woman?

Picture America as she was approaching her centennial year - she was a nation of about 45 million people. Or as Jimmy Kennedy put it, "No, you can't go back to Con-stan-tinople, been a long time gone, Con-stan-tinople, Why did Con-tan-tinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks." Words of wisdom to ponder as we enter the woods again. He would have abandoned them to their fate, had not the wind fortuitously shifted and allowed the exhausted Canadians to collapse, vomiting, back on board. in a duel W.O.O.O.F.C. "In 1954, I returned to the track and... She was buried with her parents, back in New York; free at last from her insensitive and violent husband. * Meanwhile, Daniel Sickles went on command one third of the Union Army at Gettysburg, a battle in which he lost a leg and almost cost the Union the war. Some of them, like the Anti-Bell Ringing Society went so far as to announce platitudinous field trips, which nobody actually showed up for because there was actually no body in the clubs. Ray Standard Baker, covering the march for the Chicago Record, noted that "Coxey's carriage (stopped) near the "B" street entrance to the grounds...Rising from his seat, he stooped over and kissed his wife, as if realizing something of the terrible ordeal to follow".

Jacob Coxey then "leaped nimbly to the ground, and in a moment he and Browne were swallowed up in a wild surging mob of men which lifted them from their feet and bore them bodily across the street to the Capital grounds. But there was, of course, another side to the rock hound, a human side. But alas, Lyman's lease proved to be a dry hole. He reports anger at not receiving royalties for the widespread commercial use of his likeness and name. His subordinates were unanimous in wanting to attack. The normal trickle you could jump across had grown to a mile wide rampage. And south of the "deadline" (Front Street, which bordered the tracks of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad) it was worse. The service was started in 1912 as an attempt to encourage economic development in rural America. * The first flaw in the plan became visible when Postal authorities deemed it permissible to mail live chicks (in special containers) for 53 cents apiece. Yet I have had acrimonious differences with almost every person with whom (I) have been associated in public business...But before God I cannot acknowledge that I have been blamable in one instance." And he never would admit it. * A few weeks later, Bates (above) related how he was getting along with Lewis. "Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys", wrote Henry David, "which distract our attention from serious things.

Morton" the justices had to slap down the state's power structure for stealing land from a poor sod buster and using it to bribe state legislators in the infamous "Skriptown scandal". Boyd's attorney argued his case before three judges of the Nebraska state Supreme Court, in a hearing room crowded with armed angry spectators from various political factions. He immediatly started selling more farms in this tropical paradise that sounded too good to be true. The next morning would begin at midnight, but each minute would be made up of 100 milidays, each hour of 100 centedays, and each day would consist of 20 decadays. It is alleged that the following morning nobody in Australia showed up for work on time, but it is unclear if that was because the April Fools joke or merely because, being Australia, they all still had a hangover, mate. Article IV section 15 of the Wisconsin state constitution, makes the members of the legislature "privileged from arrest". He was well qualified to fill all of those positions. A shroud of ugly black smoke instantly loomed over the track. Yes, FDR's New Deal had already created six million jobs, and had doubled industrial production and sent corporate profits from a $2 billion loss under Hoover to a $5 billion profit under Roosevelt. When he saw Dorothy and her companions the man asked, "What do you wish in the Emerald City?" "We came here to see the Great Oz," said Dorothy. Then he would pour a measure of sand on top of the powder.

* SUNDAY * TOO MANY GOVERNORS * Corn Huskers Revolt THE SECRET LIFE OF CAPITALISM Part Three I suppose the simplest way to describe Henry Janin (above - not him) would be to call him a "hale fellow, well met." His fellow mining engineers described him as "Cool as a cucumber...self-reliant, determined, and confident". Governor Walker signed into law a $140 million tax cut give-away to corporations and wealthy individuals, which presaged the $137 million deficit, which he now claims can be blamed on the state's working stiffs. Ernst von Brucke had suggested that all living organisms obeyed the laws of thermodymamics.

I have never found a more cogent and accurate description of the strategic situation in the winter of 1862, than that. Over the winter Boyton was easily convinced to lease the park to competitors, Frederick Thompson and Elmer Dundy, for 25 years.

* They renamed the 16 acres "Luna Park", built palaces and lit the place with electric lights (still a novelty to most people, even in New York City).

Only Genghis Kahn ruled a larger empire. * Mali was a multiethnic and multi-religious kingdom larger than Western Europe, and containing some 400 cities and uncounted villages. That might take decades. He reports great stress over having to choose which gifts to give to children, and a feeling of guilt and inadequacy over the decisions he makes as to which children are "naughty" and "nice". And finally Lyman Stewart (above) had reached the top of the mountain. "Gentlemen," he said, "these are beyond question precious stones of enormous value"...In an official statement, still available, his valuation on the lot was $150,000....At that figure, we had diamonds enough already in stock to make up a total of $1,500,000 in hard cash, whenever we wanted to turn them into money....The news of the Tiffany appraisement...soon became common property in New York and made a big stir in speculative circles." Thrilled at Tiffany's estimation of the value of the diamonds, back in San Francisco William Ralston officially incorporated the San Francisco and New York Mining and Commercial Company, with a million dollars in "working" capital, and 100,000 shares of stock, initially valued at $40 a share. "I have lost money enough today to buy this whole square. But Marshal Neagle had no intention of observing social conventions.

But by then over-production had driven the price of oil down to ten cents a barrel, and Lyman and his partners lost their oil stained shirts. * By now chemical analysis had determined that oil had once been living plants and animals. Accepted military thinking and some experience said they would be sitting ducks to heavy artillery atop the bluffs at Vicksburg.

And third; I had a very hard time getting on line this AM, which is why I am writing this note at this time. Ireland was teetering on the edge of a revolution. * On Tuesday, July 3rd, 1880, three men emptied their revolvers into the head and face of twenty-nine year old David Feerick, an agent for a absentee landlord, outside of the village of Ballinrobe, County Mayo. But his silk hat floated away with the tide. Lincoln was the only man who ever controlled Stanton, and it took a lot of his time. The proof of this was that the standard practice in New York was that an appointment to the bench required the payment to Tammany Hall of one year's salary, and in April of 1930, just after Governor Franklyn D. But this time the sheriff ran up against an armed militia which refused to surrender. Every winter Jacob would wander the bitter wilderness of the nearby Superstition Mountains, searching for gold.

Phineas' sister and brother-in-law to disinter Phineas just long enough to chop off his head and ship it and the tamping rod back to Boston. He died in 1791, famously buried in a pauper's grave. He never returned. He had, of course, neglected to include any interest during the five year delay. The Guards became political appointees, who bought their offices from the King, and who became addicted to bribes just like the King. And Tey even managed to enlist Iroi, Ramses III's personal priest-physician.

It looked as if, come morning, the nation would be either defended for stolen by a coup d'tetat.

What saved the nation this disaster was that Washington, D.C. Jefferson chose to believe the latter because he hated Burr. * After Burr was acquitted, Meriwether Lewis returned to his mother's home, not far from Jefferson's home at Monticello. Stanton never actually shot anyone, but when he was a young man he did carry a large knife in his pants, which would have fascinated Freud had he been born yet.  GUIDELINE NUMBER ONE: ARROGANCE. The contender must display an inability to realize their own limitations. And it was George McClure, the companies' head gemologist, who oversaw the army of designers who created the Tiffany jewelry style. But he missed the mines of his youth and continued his profession in the silver strike boom town of White Oaks, where he became "one of the oldest and most universally respected citizens..." in Lincoln County, New Mexico. By 1868 he had amassed a small fortune on the gambles taken by others, and from that he had somehow aquired a reputation as a savvy oil man. To the point, she was thus unencumbered when she met by happenstance or connivance the sixty year old United States Senator William Sharon.

He (above) was a dirty old man, one of the richest dirty old men in California, and his taxes alone made up 2% of the entire budget of the city of San Francisco. But eventually the Parisian bullies grew bored with taunting the unresponsive peasants and in 1572 they shifted their attentions to the Huguenots. But both peoples knew enough to gather the bounty left by the tide. What the rotund Congressman Butler (above) from New York delivered were a few words added to the General Mining Act of 1872, approved in record time and with a minimum of debate in either the house or the Senate, and taking effect on July 9th. Jacob Coxey was in court to show support and pay the fines for his two friends. Because when Mansa paused in Cairo to stock up on souvenirs, he paid in gold. "...A party of thirty tramps is reported moving down the valley from Carlisle." In the village of Middletown, said the press, "deputies are being sworn in to protect the town." Still, even the alarmist press was forced to admit that "the conduct of the Coxey men In Hagerstown has so far been exemplary."More than that, it was evident that the Army had learned a thing or two about marketing. Because He Was Sexy? Really?

THE VALUE OF MONEY I understand why Republicans have such naive faith in capitalists. He attributed these symptoms to being "not as young as I used to be, HO! HO! HO!", but thought he should have them checked out.

But scientists seeking out the magnetic orientation of hills created by the European ground mole

(Talpa europaea), stumbled over the meaty idea that perhaps larger mammals might also be influenced by something other than human magnetism.

German researchers examined Google Earth photographs taken at the same local time of day, observing some 8,510 individual cows in 308 separate herds on five different continents, at essentially the same moment. First there was the Saturday of June 25, 1876, when over two hundred and twenty of their husbands and lovers were left dead and mutilated on the windswept hills overlooking the Little Big Horn River. They called that Custer's Last Stand, but it killed several members of the Custer family. But over the long dark winter months Hunt started to think for himself, a mistake which was to prove disastrous.

By early December, when the Tonquin stopped for fresh water in the Falkland Islands, the passengers had begun speaking only French in the presence of Captain Thorn, because they knew he did not speak French and it drove him crazy. His corpse was removed to the University anatomy theatre, carved up and used as an abject lesson in sin and immoral behavior - not a very productive example when the profession was seeking to encourage others to donate their bodies to medical science.And to drive their pointless point home even stronger, Burke's skeleton remains in Edinburgh to this day, in a glass case, labeled as a notorious fiend and a serial murderer. He materialized out of the Sahara heat shimmers like a mirage in 1324. In that sudden wealth, Lyman Stewart saw the hand of God. * Yet, it was a risky business, looking for oil. (But) I don't think it's going to cause a problem unless the flickering makes the dispatcher dizzy and she has a seizure, falls out and hits her forehead on the desk." Less drolly, the Chief of the Billard Volunteer Fire Department, in East Texas, admitted it was a suicidal squirrel attack that caused a 30 acre brush fire that damaged 11 cars, a motorcycle and a house. So we started on a widely extended prospecting trip. Clearly the Turks were intending on opening a supply line to Vida, down the Timas and then up the Danube to Belgrade, breaking the seige. The constable jerked William's arm up and drove a shoulder into his waist, as the head turnkey, Richard Spurling, raced forward to help. And second, it never turned a profit. Almost two thirds were skilled mechanics, but less than half of those were union members. Both men tumbled to the floor, the turnkey knocked silly. To get this movement started we need lots of tools and cranks." (lyrics and music by Michael Brown) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG6taS9R1KM His commanding officer in the forerunner of the CIA, Major Gustav Krause, described the situation rather simply; "Militarily, John Birch brought about his own death." Birch was a life long missionary on a military mission on August 25, 1945, when he ran into a patrol of Mao's Red Army. Harding ( above, shaking hands with Ruth)  - and his running mate Massachusetts governor Calvin Coolidge (above), even though, in the inimitable words of Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Coolidge looked "as though he'd been weaned on a pickle."

Harding and Coolidge (red counties) won 60% of the popular vote, and 404 electoral votes. Louis writer noted, "Pendergast never did hunt ducks with a brass band. Captain Meriwether Lewis had commanded this post for awhile back in the 1790's, and now as Governor Lewis he was back. Of course, contained within them were the seeds of destruction for the entire enterprise, and everyone associated with it. He served them more coffee and promised to replant any trees damaged. There was none.

Instead, over Saturday and Sunday an estimated 6,000 unarmed curious citizens visited the encampment in peace. Then you find your opponent's weakness in his record or conduct - he's too liberal, he's soft on defense, he's too weak on criminals, he's got character problems - and you move in, hitting harder and harder - with no letup. Or maybe I'm still just a rock hound. So here was poor Bob, wandering around this cavernous hothouse, pathetically hoping to make some headway against his biggest rival in the cabinet, the even bigger suck up, Secretary of State James Blaine, known about town as the "monumental liar from the state of Maine". It was estimated that between 1930 and 1959 11 million smokers worldwide would die of smoking related cancers and strokes. The industry paid $3 billion in taxes and spent $250 million in advertising. On May 19, 1826, after just one hour of deliberations, they returned with a verdict of guilty.In his jail cell Jereboam dropped all pretense of innocence and wrote out a lengthy confession, filled with all the drama and heroics he clearly wanted to believe had characterized his life and reputation. The two new convicts now had a new enemy.

Now, if these two litigants had regained full control of their faculties, and issued a pro forma apology, as any sane person in this situation would have done, that would have been the end of this tale. Not that he wants to be king - Antonio is no Richard the Third. To achieve this, they had to first butcher his Swiss guard, and their bodies were dumped into a common grave right next to Jones' resting place. Attorney General Palmer had predicted a communist-anarchist uprising on May Day. The declaration went on to demand the arrest of Will and 19 other FFVers as "traitors to the people".

Proof of the importance of women in Ancient Egypt can be found in events which occurred some 4,200 years ago, at the end of what is called "The New Kingdom" - which gives you some idea of how old Egyptian civilization really is. But not Walker. Within a few weeks this once abandoned well, outside of Titusville, Pennsylvania, would be producing the unheard of bounty of 20 barrels a day.

The only silos to store their harvested crops while awaiting shipment were owned by the railroads.

He arrived with a smile and a quiet self assurance. "Every one of my workers has a fund to buy food, coal, shoes and clothing. Still, adjusted for latitude, 70% of all cows point toward the magnetic pole, and this is much too large a percentage to be a mere homogenized coincidence. I burp occasionally.

Under questioning the brothers confirmed the details but, no, they insisted, they knew nothing else.

Jack needed to reestablish control, and that included his control of the courts. And then in early September Joseph received intelligence that the Turks were sending troops to reinforce the fortress of Vivda, on the Timas River, a tributary of the Danube. During the days he slept in the 24 room mansion he also built on Mars Hill. The lady scratched faces, the old man threw punches, but once order was restored, the court completed reading the decision of contempt on the earlier court order, which, needless to say went against Althea and David. There is no longer any gold behind your dollar, and, really, there is no silver, either. Several Federal Marshals and assorted guards and lawyers who had been waiting for just this sort of outburst from these two, descended upon the feisty pair. But they also record something else, equally as ominous and philosophically troubling.

Cominsky had refused to hear him. And it left Daniel Drew, abandoned by his partners, out $1.5 million. It is worth noting that the building had originally been constructed to house a prison, Richmond's Libby prison, bought lock, stock, and barrel by a Chicago candy millionaire and shipped north to form the centerpice of a Civil War Museum. Surely these ancient women had to be multitaskers. Young. Corcoran got all of his four.". Dr Knox was forced to dissect Jamie's face first to calm those few squeamish students and to disguise the evidence. And all we know for certain is that John Perry, Richard Perry and Joan Perry slowly strangled at the end of a rope, as punishment for a crime they did not commit. Daniel had so far made a second career out of developing legal problems, so he decided that Phillip Key was the perfect man to escort Terresa to Washington social functions, while Daniel was "relaxing" in Baltimore with Fanny White, and others. *

Friends tried to warn Daniel about Phillip's reputation, and in March of 1858 Daniel had a confrontation with Phillip concerning accusations that were already bubbling up about his intentions toward Terresa. Unfortunatly, despite the construction over the graves, the ground was not well compacted, and a great deal of time would have to be spent shoring up the shafts, and supporting the building walls. Gilbert Russel, the current commander of Fort Pickering, had ordered the post medic to prevent Governor Lewis from drinking anymore laudanum. However he also leased a suite at a Baltimore Hotel for his assignations with Fanny White, and other "soiled doves" in her employ. * Shortly after the couple moved, Daniel was introduced to Mr. Buckley even mentioned it in a column posthumously published in March of 2008, entitled "Goldwater, the John Birch Society, and Me." In discussing how to distance conservatism from Welch, Buckley made a joke, which he explained this way; "The wisecrack traced to Robert Welch's expressed conviction...that the state of Alaska was being prepared to house anyone who doubted his doctrine that fluoridated water was a Communistbacked plot to weaken the minds of the American public." I like to think of Alaska as the new Texas, that way.

The John Birch Society is part of a long line of insanity that stains the American psyche, from the anti-French and anti-Irish 'Alien and Sedition Acts' of 1798, through the "Order of United Americans", the "Know Nothing Party", the Immigration Restriction League, the anarchists scare, the "Yellow Peril", the imaginary Pearl Harbor betrayal plots, the Black helicopters hiding in our national parks, the militia movement and the mythical bombs planted in the twin towers. His cause of death is, oddly, given nowhere in his obituaries.

- 30 NEXT WEDNESDAY THE LITTLE GREEN HOUSE ON K STREET The Logical Progression FRIDAY - FEET OF CLAY Investing In Chicago and America LIBERTARIAN HERO  I wish the average libertarian could meet Jay Gould, because he was unfettered capitalism in the flesh, "the human incarnation of avarice," as one minister described him, the Mephistopheles of Wall Street, the robber baron par excellence, "prince of the railroad schemers", annd the man within whom all the theories of the libertarians about capitalism and freedom met the reality of human nature, and got the tar beat out of it.

He was a "...short, thin man with cold black eyes, a narrow face and, in his maturity, a "full black beard". And in the age of corporate America, they may not be mere facilitators, but ideologically proselytes, who are driven to bribe and seduce in search of a cultural holy grail. That hurt troubled railroads. Over the next four years, failing railroads (156 of them) led to failed banks (almost 400 of them), which produced failed small businesses (almost 5,000 of them). Harrison and Zachary Taylor.

Harding, who had lost in the Indiana primary and could muster just 65 votes. Under this cloud of

conspiracies, even those railroads that were real, suffered from endless manipulation. Pierre did not invent champagne. . So the the entire trip had been unnecessary. WSJ columnist Stephen Moore wrote, "It's foolish to believe that backing down will satisfy the unions. Businesses couldn't expand because the government had sucked up all the credit. "...you say we rob you; you say we intend to establish a cordon of Free States around you; you say that we are persistent in what we do on this point...you say that the difficulty seems to arise chiefly from a difference in our construction of the Constitution." Judah Benjamin interjected, "The charge is not that Congress does it, but that the States do it."

Baker swirled his cape in front of his opponent. "Very well," he said. Nothing was well done without him". Into the acrid gun smoke and sudden silence this unnamed Democrat announced that he was prepared to start killing Republicans if they kept fighting. * With that, Lt. Terressa barely survived that war, succumbing to tuberculosis on February 5, 1867, at the age of just thirty-one. Franklin was hanged. Then Will magnanimously pardoned him. Still, with the incoming new adminstration there was reason for the wealthy denizens of Washington to hope. When he returned to the office, Thomas announced that he would now issue orders as Secretary of War. Thomas tried that, but discovered he could no longer get in. Of course, George had since improved on his design, adding six inches for increased stability. It seems to provide proof that four thousand years ago, war had already become a standardized, ritualized young man's game, just as it is today. Army's worst peace time disaster. Well, a few people may have been shot, but the newspapers probably buried the details. He just made it to the bedside before his father died, but then Bob had to share his private grief with the grief of millions of strangers. He had never felt better, he told the reporter, and denounced the rumors as a "da-n lie." Two months later he suffered a stroke and really died. Ender's only reaction was one of admiration. The Front's defendants were largely acquitted. It seemed there was an air of uncertancy hanging over England, inspiring the citizens to begin to demand certainty.In April of 1661 the Perry family were brought to trial, convicted by a jury of their peers and duly hanged. The next day, Stanton wrote his letter of resignation. Abandoned, Thayer surrendered the Governor's offices, and Boyd moved in. * But Thayer was far from ready to give up. Treasury to sell $4 million in gold. It was just a raid, and was not intended to come close to Vicksburg. On the other side of the bridge, officers were throwing up a defensive line to hold back the Turks, of whom there were actually none within fifty miles. Then they put her in a box, and sent her off to Doctor Knox. He served for just one year, and performed such assignments as introducing Emilia Erhart to the King of England (above). Nathaniel immediately marched his little army off to butcher some local Indians. The Marshal immediately informed Judge Field, who was asleep in his compartment. It arrived on November 20, 1922, and carried no "return address". They would then dump the stock and leave the suckers owning a suddenly broke and worthless railroad; As the lawyer Tom Hagan explains in "The Godfather", "Its just business, Sonny." * Just to keep all the crooks honest, any member of the "cartel" who sold below $90 a share pledged to pay a $25,000 fine to his fellow conspirators. *

Jacob Little was one of the few non-New Englanders in on this game and one of the largest holders of Norwich stock. By the end of the summer of 1862 Halleck had been transferred, and the task of capturing Vicksburg fell to Lt. He was late, of course, and when his parents invited Bob to go to the theatre with them, Bob begged off and stayed home. We know it was Hopkinson because he actually submitted two bills for his design - the first one for 9 pounds. From this it was theorized that oil would never be found in the rocks in which it had formed, the "source rock". In their Vulgate Latin a "jalle" was a measure of liquid, equal to our gallon, and a "jalgium" was the stick or rod inserted into an amphora to measure how much wine was left. But so brilliantly had Jacob gamed the system that future generations of Wall Street bulls used his trick to transfer future fortunes into their bank accounts at the expense of future generations of suckers - until the rules were changed to require a convertible bond be held for at least sixty days before it could be transferred into common stock. * Ă‚ Most Wall Street fairy tails end the story here, with The Napoleon of the Board Room winning until he faded into history. Tallow candles were made from farm animal fat, and every rural home had a candle box. Will demanded an apology from his nephew, who proudly refused.

Then in June of 1676 Nathaniel arrived in Jamestown for the opening of the House of Burgesses and Will took the opportunity to arrest the little snot. Mellon called it "weeding out". Once the area around capital had been cleared the General led his little army across the river to attack the shackytown where the desperate veterans had left their families (above). Nothing was well done without him". Collisions with birds during his flight, gunshot wounds (while flying over the Los Angles area) and bites consistent with reindeer teeth may also have contributed to these wounds.

Patches of leukoderma and anesthesia on his nose, cheeks, penis, and distal digits are consistent with frostbite caused by periods of hypothermia during high-altitude flights. It was the purposeful invention of the one term Mayor of San Antonio, Texas, and later Congressman, the Honorable Fontaine Muaury Maverick. * The mayor served only one term because a communist had rented a meeting room in the cities' Civic Auditorium. This gravitational pin ball game had pulled the moon into a collision with the Earth, and allowed its capture. But it did not last. * While Amos had been running the Post Office, he had decreed that local postmasters could refused any mail which they deemed to be either abolitionist or proslavery. Leo Africanus, an Islamic historian, wrote that in Timbuktu, "There is a great demand for books, and more profit is made from the trade in books than from any other line of business." The scholar Ahmad Baba claimed that his personal library was one the smaller ones in the city, containing only 1,600 books. In retrospect it seemed the investors were so busy trying to cheat each other, they made it easy for the professionals. And it was there, on July 17, 1792, that the 45 year old was found lying face down on his bed, dead as a doornail. That very afternoon, Commissioner Allen seized Hanover Trust. He was a partisan in the extreme and his politics were always personal. In 1870 Fisk and Gould secretly sold their shares in the Erie to the Commodore for $5 million. I felt I had gotten more than I had paid for.

Grandpa managed to beat the killer squirrel to death with his crutch. It would be far more effective

for both of these men to make their appeals together, and safer for Governor Lewis if he had someone to watch his laudanum consumption during the trip back. In 1882 Andrew became the President and primary shareholder. If you go down to the woods today you better go in disguise.

When confronted in August by Pratt, Gould stunned the man by offering to buy him out for $60,000.

The paperwork thus complete, Nathaniel marched off with 1,000 men to butcher the nearest Indians.

About now it dawned on the more thoughtful freeholders that they had hitched their fortunes to a rather temperamental artist. And when Robert told Francis about Thomas' threat, it was open war between Francis and Thomas. He wanted to be a politician. As it does the river collects vast amounts of gold, which could teased from the waters. * Dugout canoes then carried the gold downstream, following the river north, penetrating the desert.

So he became known as the Great Unknown Smith. After the brawl the South Platte faction removed themselves across the river to the hamlet of Florence, which had, according to the newspaper "Nebraskian", "...been, for months, laboring assiduously to delude strangers that it was a city". * The entire place only became a state over President Andrew Johnson's veto in 1867. I guess, as the old saying goes, no news is good news, and really good news is no news at all. * Dorthy retreated from Chicago to familiar territory, a Dianetics training facility in Arizona. The Cooper was the only rear engine car at the Speedway that year. The ownership of human beings converted Yancey to pro-slavery. But as Fowler acknowledged, "....phrenology is either fundamentally true or else untrue..." - a statement which standing alone is undoubtedly true. Arnold pulled his pistol and fired twice. You must die!" Thereupon Daniel pulled a derringer and fired. In March of 1807 he reported to the President in Washington, D.C. Franklyn Delano Roosevelt became "Stalin Delano Roosevelt". The top five percent of the population control most of the nation's wealth, and are using fear mongering to reduce the government to impotence. The value of Donald's corpse was set by Dr. I will countermand." In front of Thomas, Stanton then dictated a letter to Thomas, saying, "Sir: I am informed that you presume to issue orders as Secretary of War...you are hereby commanded to abstain from issuing any orders other than in your capacity as Adjutant-General of the army." Stanton then signed the completed letter, handed it to Thomas, and ordered him out of the office.

A bewildered Thomas slinked back to the White House and informed Johnson of this conversation.

Immediately Frederick's lawyers requested an order of contempt be issued against her, which the Federal Court, meeting in the Assessor's Building in San Francisco (above), immediately agreed to issue that contempt. Terry's strategy of defiance was thus proven bankrupt. On November 21st, of 1840 Victoria gave birth to a daughter. The move saved the small town from financial ruin. In 1859 Phineas rejoined his mother, sister and her husband, who were now living in California.

Knowing Eddie I assume that's the way he would have wanted it. Under military protection (of 1,000 troops) these men harvested Captain Boycott's crops... But he could prove nothing. They dragged it inland a few hundred yards, divided and re-buried it in two new caches, one of $40,000 and the second of $16,000. (Even today, the U.S. It was all boiler plate, industry standard arraignments. And that wealth along with his intimate knowledge of sugar's effects on children's teeth gave him the

authority to lecture to 12 true believers for two days straight, about the worldwide communist conspiracy. As they rode up Bridge Street on their way back to camp, they passed the Comique.

Things got so bad that the Secretary of War, penny pincher William Eustis, suggested that the General move his troop to healthier ground north of the city, even as far as Natchez . Instead, Wilkerson moved them down river, into the swamps - to a spot called Terre aux Boeufs. There is a reason the practice of criminalizing poverty has been discarded. The playboy dropped to the ground, begging, "Don't shoot me", and shouting, "Murder."

Daniel finally pulled his revolver, and his third shot hit the tree. He had been re-elected President without serious opposition because, luckily for Teddy, Mark Hanna had died of typhoid fever in February of 1904. Whoever wrote this stuff, this was not your average stuff. In truth, we are the answer to all those questions. And shortly thereafter he died. He has experienced chronic back pain for several years. And that proved the case for Julia. Unseen by inattentive humans, a pasture of grazing Gurneys is in reality a seething mass of bored libidos on steroids. Second; Alf publicly supported so many parts of the New Deal that he was at odds with the Republican party platform. Third; Alf was a terrible public speaker. Those who wear them should bear in mind that it will require their most strenuous exertions ... James Cox (above), the Democratic candidate for President in 1920, vacillated between support for Wilson's League of Nations and rejection of it, and so lost both Wilson's endorsement and the support of those Democrats who disliked Wilson. And it was about here, as the fall of 1886 approached, that Frederick Newlander opened yet a third front against Althea and David Terry; the political front.

"But this had been a sin of passion, not of principle, nor even purpose."

Nathaniel Hawthorne In the elections of November of 1886, Fredrick Newlander threw huge sums behind the "Blind Boss", Christopher Buckley. And, as one observer at the time noted, "Some one or other told James that it was commonly reported that, whilst Rochester ruled the King, Overbury ruled Rochester."

That angered the King, who didn't like Thomas much anyway. At lest one of them was bound to warn Jacob about the brewing coup d'etat. It is a borrowed word, which is a nice way of saying it may be the only English word for which the Shakespeare family is does not collect royalties. He flies in a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer, and gains access to homes via chimneys. In September Judge Jeremiah Sullivan ruled that what Althea and Senator Sharon shared was a common law marriage, and awarded Althea alimony of $2,500 a month. So thank you all for reading and responding.

Second, I do not repond to discussions because since the stroke, I simply do not have the concentration to write and respond. And then he went one step further himself, beyond his authority.

Mr. Nora strongly denied the accusation and a special master who carefully examined Andrew's evidence, rejected his claim. In fact there were three Presidents present at that ceremony. Those two had copper plates identifying their occupants. Still the validity of the prophecy was reinforced by a stream of letters "The Guardians" mysteriously left in Dorthy's apartment over the following weeks. While the trapped Democrats sulked in the cloak room, Speaker Grey staged votes for the 13th, 14th and 15th reconstruction amendments to the U.S. Ordered to clear the "Bonus Army" from around Jenkin's Hill, the imperious MacArthur sent in tanks and troops with fixed bayonets and tear gas. He drew his chair close to mine - there was a pause in the conversation - I availed myself of it arose and walked to the opposite side of the room...He knew my resolution not to speak to him except on business, and he ought not to have thrust himself in my way." *

And these two men now found themselves in charge of dispensing millions of acres of land to the hundreds of speculators who had flocked to St. Ă‚ But it made it into his obituary in most of the newspapers in the English speaking world. He had been born in Germany. And thus were the wages of sin for what today would be called "Gifters". * And in case you are thinking that these are dusty historical footnotes, a couple of years ago, in San Antonio, Texas, Ted Roberts, attorney at law, was convicted of three counts of theft for a badger scam he ran with his wife and fellow attorney, Mary Roberts. Farmers, working the best soil available, grew wheat and hops to brew beer. Jacob was betting, of course, that the price would go down, and as a board member he had the power to help that happen. Instead his mother pressured him to put on the collar.She won. The cellar dwelling Phillies won, three to zip.

The losing pitcher for Chicago was their best, right hander (Old) Pete Alexander. The battle failed, but the court got the message and abruptly reversed itself on several subsequent decisions. And as Jacob fastidiously signed over each share required to fill the options, he was also diluting Erie Stock so that, come morning, the stock took a nose dive. * The wizards had been so intent on cutting off the limb that Jacob had climbed out on, that they failed to notice they were on the same limb. Knox at 7 pounds 10 shillings, for a profit to Hare of three pounds ten shillings - a small fortune for men such as Burke and Hare.The market for selling dead bodies had been fairly steady in Edinburgh since the school of Surgeons had combined with the Royal College of Physicians to form the world famous University Faculty of Medicine in 1726.Dr. They flashed the legal papers, ushered the workers out and padlocked the doors. By 4 AM the remaining would-be passengers were offering competing explanations as to why salvation had not yet arrived. He served two presidents, and one of his enemies, President John Quincy Adams, said that those two chief executives were merely, "...the tools of Amos Kendall, the ruling mind of their dominion." * Amos was tall, thin, asthmatic and prematurely white haired. That is my field of expertise. * I saw graphics flash across my monitor I had no idea were hiding inside my mystery box. Even Abraham Lincoln once jumped out a window to avoid giving a majority party a quorum.

The very concept of a quorum was created to prevent a super majority from drowning out the voice of a substantial minority. The verdict was guilty for both defendants, delivered by even more wittnesses to the murder. As King he was responsible for the economic collapse of medieval France. swept into the Front's Brooklyn offices, arresting nine men and seizing 15 bombs, 18 cans of cordite, dynamite, fuses, incendiary chemicals, 16 rifles, 750 rounds of machine gun ammo and "one long sword". A Mali proverb observed, "Salt comes from the north, gold from the south...but the word of God and the treasures of wisdom are only to be found in Timbuktu." *

The city was famous for its libraries. You know what? You can't do that, no matter how many voters may want to believe that you can, you can't. It is not merely a case of the cure being worse than the disease. And then, because there wasn't anybody left still doing business in France to steal from, Philip began seizing Church property. But the catch was that Carl Browne knew who the Great Unknown was. When Boss Tom died in January of 1945, his funeral was well attended, and the only thing that changed about Missouri politics was the names on the ballots. ******************************************************************************************* "If you can't convince them, confuse them."

Lawyers and 40 deputized men were dispatched to the tannery (above) on Tuesday morning, March 13, 1860. He discovered that the bodies had not been moved. Then came 1961 and one of the greatest finishes in 500 history. * Eddie and A.J. He just wasn't lucky. He was plump and ruddy faced and usually had a drink close at hand. There he was arrested loitering near Buckingham Palace, and was returned to his ship under arrest. Join the John Birch Society, help us fill the ranks. And since the magazine had a nice little side business going selling American flags to schools (their goal was to have one in every classroom) Francis thought that a pledge for this special occasion would be an inexpensive way to increase the sale of flags.

See, according to chapter ten in the Qur'an, God gave Jonah a dangerous job, and to avoid the assignment he jumped ship for someplace else. Sill the jury was willing to believe that Vanzetti was guilty.

The defense attorney did such a bad job that modern readers of the transcripts suspect he might have even thrown the case. But that would have made the war even more unpopular than it already was.

Just who were these senators that Daugherty claimed would support Harding at the Republican Convention, come June? * When Daugherty refused to take the bait, the reporters suggested he must be expecting Harding to win the nomination in some hotel back room with a small group of political managers, "reduced to pulp by the inevitable vigil and travail" of a deadlocked convention. And the rhyme known as "Burke and Hare" has a similar history, just a bit more bloody.Try to imagine little red headed girls playing jump rope, keeping time by chanting this Scottish ditty, "Up the close and down the stair, In the house with Burke and Hare, Burke's the butcher, Hare's the thief, Knox the man who buys the beef.

But whether she did or not, when Terry's body was examined later by local police, no weapons were found. The partners had agreed to hold their stock until Norwich topped $90 a share. John Boyd was officially declared the official governor of the state of Nebraska. And when President Jefferson (above) had Burr arrested for treason, Wilkerson became his chief witness against Burr.

And after three years of research through old maps and confusing government records Porter found the cemetary where Jones had been buried, now adjacent to the Rue de la Grange aux Belles, or in the more prosaic English, Street of the Beautiful Barn. More than four hundred mounted policemen...rode into the crowd with the intention of capturing the two...but they might as well have attempted to arrest a cyclone. The early owners of the mine treated harshly anyone caught doing personal mining. In 1920, at 14 Wall Street was Federal Hall, now a Federal Reserve Bank. But the fourth shot, delivered point blank over the prone Phillip, blasted a hole in his chest as big as a silver dollar. None of these bodies were buried with funeral goods.

David Brooks (conservative voice on the NYTimes) has criticized him for an "unbalanced" approach to cuts. They fished from long plank canoes with curved and pointed bows. Gibbs and Dawes were quickly tied to their chairs, but Wanesly broke for the woods, followed by the courageous waiter Robert Greenwood who was armed with an unloaded flintlock pistol. I like to think that if I had been on that jury, I would have had second thoughts. The Fairs supplied him with enough money for wars against the English and two wars in Flanders, one of which he won. But for all the hoopla over his disappearance, nobody even reported him missing for three weeks. * The judge had left his wife Stella on Sunday August 3, at their summer cabin in Maine. There is some mystery about why. Vengeful Republicans poured into the great room. They used the local effervescence to anoint their new monarch, and to drink a toast in his honor; a real test of their gag

Ralston sent his good friend and sometime business partner, the magically named Asbury Harpending to New York City on the transcontinental railroad with a bag of gems and instructions to get them valued by none other than the "King of Diamonds", Charles Lewis Tiffany. The postmaster's decision was just one of the myriad of compromises which brought on the American Civil War, and certainly not the most important one. He didn't. But on this late summer afternoon as Mr. But at least, at last, John Paul Jones was home. "If you ever see us again it will be a miracle".

Her plot was simple and simply devious. He died in 1958, while a Republican occupied the White House. That million dollar hit to his personal finances was huge, but in the days before the Securities and Exchange Commission, and their meddlesome regulations, tens of millions of dollars in investments could vanish with a mere whiff of rumor against the reputation of one man. Bob (above, on the right) was 78 years old by then, when he attended the dedication of his father's memorial in Washington, D.C. As Connecticut Senator John A. The heart of the Chicago batting order, Robertson, Barber and Paskert, went one for sixteen. And the longer this went on, the less confidence actual voters would have in any eventual choice. Holdsworth fired one barrel, missing Arnold but hiting two innocent bystanders, one of them in the neck. That removed Tommy as an irritant for FDR but The Cork was far from sunk. It's time to roll out of bed and meet your maker.

Poor General Porter had to take up a collection. She was living proof that with all our technology and insights and smothered under blankets of public morality, we are today just as screwed up as our ancestors were. Some linguists say this word originated with a Mexican card game, a version of three-card monty, but that is just so much "bunk". * Thirty years before the invention of the Mexican card game the word was used to describe a speech

But that's OK, because Martin's political loss was a big win for theoretical lexicography.You see, the Democrat's campaign manager, Amos Kendall, decided it would be a good idea to emphasise his man's roots. Jay's attorney, T. A brainy New Dealer came down in person and served the ladies coffee in china cups. By then the priest werethe power in Egypt, and the country was run for their benefit, sort of like the bankers run America today, and Egypt slipped into a cneturies long dark age. * When the working day is done, Oh, girls, They wanna have fun. * Ah, if only Tey aka Tiy had been quicker, then the New Kingdom might have lasted a few hundred years longer, and women might have played a bigger part in history. And then, almost over night, Percival's magical red world was deflated by his doppelganger, George Hale. * George Hale also came from a rich Boston family. He had opened his stationary store in 1837 with $1,000 in capital borrowed from his father. Again the Privy Council considered what to do, and again Edward was sentenced to three months at Tothill Prison, but this time at hard labor.The labor of choice for prisoners in this most modern of English prisons in 1841 was spending six hours a day walking on the treadmill, described by the "Hidden Lives Revealed" web site as "a big iron frame of steps around a revolving cylinder", or Picking Oakum (above), defined as teasing apart the strands of a hemp rope so that the strands could be twisted into another rope, which would be presented to inmates to be teased apart again.Ă‚ After three months of enduring this repetitive repetition in silence, another magistrate offered Edward another chance to join the Navy. In fact, suggested Earl Clement, those labels could be powerful defense against wrongful death lawsuits. Then, each Group would build a cooking fire, while their leaders would collect and distribute rations either bought by Coxey or donated by sympathetic locals. She even attracted a few financial backers. On the south side of the street was number 23, the fortress offices of J.P. In exchange for a $2 million settlement and her freedom, Nora did not fight Andrew when he demanded primary custody of the children.

That was a purely political decision, made because the Democrats in the 1830's were pursuing a "Southern Strategy", which sought to shore up their base of support in the South. He never forgot and he never forgave. He fell in love with the sport and spent the next year following the circuit as an a mechanic's assistant for $15 a week. On the evening of September 22nd, 1880, Father John O'Malley was sharing a meal with American journalist James Redpath. If left unexposed, the traitors inside the U.S. Maybe, just maybe, the answer is that all those people before you have just been more unlucky than you. If they are successful, they claim, as a matter of right, the advantages of success. Within a week the Governor was ready and eager to continue his journey. His brother Jim was outside standing next to Wyatt, but he never spoke of the shooting. At noon, Friday September 17, 1920, a rally sponsored by the Sons of the American Revolution, drew thousands to "The Corner." Patriotic songs were sung and patriotic speeches were made. He also pushed hard to cut the upper income tax rate from 77% to 24%, and cut taxes for middle class Americans at the same time, although by not nearly as much. And that is a fact. The decision to lay siege to Belgrade was logical. Into this place of confinement she snuck a bottle of laudanum, a potent mixture of 89% grain ethanol, 10% opium and 1% morphine. to be my lawful and wedded wife..." Of course, no ceremony

Bob Lincoln slink-ed out of town, determined to avoid contributing to any further bloody historical events. * It would be the last time an American President would be assassinated until 1963, and who can say that was not because Bob Lincoln chose to be circumspect about being near another President.

GETTING SQUIRRELY I believe the horror officially commenced on September 6, 2006, and it began in the midst of a deceptive calm. This put the American economy on a solid financial footing. * This was a good idea, but there was a downside, as explained in "Land Speculation and Other Processes in American Historical Geography", by Donald Holtgrieve, published in the Journal of Geography in 1976. Even if true, how that justified the cold blooded murder of a father of small children (On his gravestone the word "father" had even been carved in stone), Jereboam did not attempt to explain. Mr. He must have heard of their impending deaths and of their executions.Still, the old man did not return for two years. But why did he not return sooner? Why return at all? And why did John Perry tell such wild tales? Why did he send his own mother and brother to the gallows?

Why did he not recant until the last moments of his life?It remains a mystery. Buildings shook 78 miles distant. Then I thought, as the country was so green and beautiful, I would call it the Emerald City; and to make the name fit better I put green spectacles on all the people, so that everything they saw was green." "But isn't everything here green?" asked Dorothy. "No more than in any other city," replied Oz; "but when you wear green spectacles, why of course everything you see looks green to you."Â

FAMOUS AMOS I contend that, politically speaking, Amos Kendall was one of our founding fathers. And since Federal budgets had been progressively cut year after year, the economic health of the nation became dependent solely on the swing of business cycles. "You and I have roughed it together," he reminded them. Beauchamp had sought her out, for reasons left unexplained.

Step two was for Sainte-Croix to make the acquaintance of certain people with a knowledge of chemistry, such as a man known only to history by the name of "Auguer".Now, in the days before CSI the only way to prove poisoning - as opposed to just an unhygienic cook - was to catch the suspect pouring poison on the food, or to get him or her to confess.This is why torture was so popular for so long. Born into poverty, his mother was active in the Methodist Church until her death, when Jay was 10 years old. A gale was approaching. How could you not admire a man who could write, "A well adjusted person is one who makes the same mistake twice without getting nervous" That kind of self knowledge belies the life of a boy who was abandoned by his father at the age of ten, at twelve watched his mother die in the bed next to him, and was then adopted by a cousin who shortly thereafter committed suicide. Harding might have said that giving a job interview while standing in his pajamas might qualify as an embarrassing moment, but he did not. He was tall for the age - about 5.8", smart, competent and dedicated.

Instead he and Stanton came up with a plan of their own. As proof, I present to you a German flute maker who made his fortune in England, and doubled it by investing in the American fur trade; John Jacob Astor (above). Slipped into pine coffins the remains were buried by inmates from Riker's Island, just a few more of the 2,000 dead buried each year in unmarked mass graves of Potters Field on Hart Island. And only behind this final exhibit of female pulchritude, did the public at last get a view of the object of the entire discussion, the army of the unemployed, totting banners and signs.

By the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago, its new home range was the arid and unforgiving Arabian Peninsula. * This amazing beast can lose up to 40% of its body weight, and can gulp down, up to 21 gallons of salt laden brackish water within 10 minutes; either of which behavior would kill a lesser creature.

He needed cash. Unfortunatly, Nathaniel had picked a bad time to make a new start.

Beginning in 1670 Virginia had suffered from a string of hailstorms, floods, and droughts. She also urged Robert to urge Thomas to turn down the offer. According to legend it was famed painter Gilbert Stuart who first examined the bends and curves of the new district and observed that, to him at least, a map if it resembled a salamander. The war was, at worst, an inconvenience.

When the Treaty of Ghent was signed in December of 1814, a special clause had been written in which specifically transferred Astoria from Britain back to the United States, where Mr. There is no memorial of her years of service to the unit, of the babies she delivered, of the hardships she endured. Hamilton paid, and James then wrote, "I have not the least objections to your calling (on my wife), as a friend to both of us". Officially Powers had received 70,187 votes, making him second by a mere 1,144 votes. But if it is so, then the war spending and the end of the depression was one heck of a coincidence in 1898, and again in 1942.

I think the best memorial for those unnamed heroes of the spring of 1894 was provided by a bar fly in New York City named Feeb, who composed and preformed songs for his supper. She tried to make dirty, foul Pittsburg a home. The bronze age was late in coming to the Baltic Sea. Women and children were ruthlessly ridden down...All this time Coxey had been struggling through the crowd toward the central steps of the capital....Before anyone knew it Coxey was bounding up the East front...He was up to the tenth step before he was recognized. It was not uncommon for a raiding constable to discover "a woman sitting beside the fire finishing a pile of counterfeits with a knife and file, while her husband occupied himself with hot flasks and other coining tools." It was estimated at the time that a pair of crooks ...could produce twenty-five pounds of silver filings in a day - and this when a family could live quite comfortably on fifty Pounds a year.

Mrs. Politics had nothing to do with it. And at this point the corpses hit the fan. In the spring of 1167 B.C.E. But by 1810, hunters had so decimated eastern populations of beaver, otter, squirrel and fox, that trappers were shipping furs fifteen hundred miles just to reach an Atlantic port. Two more voyageurs were swallowed up by rapids and another went mad."

The survivors finally exited this purgatory by climbing out of the canyon. Still, rules are rules, and the jury had spoken, and so John was duly hanged as well. She was pretty, sophisticated and charming. In 1942 came his work for Earl Warren, and in 1944 Murray was elected president of the California Republican Assembly. In this country everyone must pay for everything he gets. From there he emptied the second barrel at Arnold, hitting him in the shoulder and "lacerating it terribly".

From March 4, 1837, when Andrew Jackson handed over the Presidency to Martin Van Buren, until March 4, 1861 when Lincoln took the oath, eight men occupied the White House. Supreme Court.

Solomon Sharp was dead almost before he hit the floor. It was upon the evolutionary lines of those long dead life forms that the profits of the big oil companies, including Union Oil, were founded. * And thanks to Layman Stewart's largess, millions of dollars in those profits from this oil provided for the Los Angeles Mission, which has helped to feed and shelter tens of thousands of homeless and lost souls, and a Fundamentalist Christian collage, which explicitly taught its' graduates that evolution, such as that exhibited by those microscopic creatures used to find all that wealth, had not occured. * It is that conflict at the core of Fundamentalism which renders it a schizophrenic philosophy.

THE LITTLE GREEN HOUSE ON K STREET PART EIGHT The Logical Achievment of Lobbyists Culture THE LITTLE GREEN HOUSE ON K STREET PART SEVEN I guess it must have been like awaking from a dream. And to seal the deal, Hamilton read a telegram from Governer Landon promising to support the anti-New Deal platform.

Said the Republican platform; "For three long years the New Deal Administration has dishonored American traditions...has been guilty of frightful waste and extravagance, ...has created a vast multitude of new offices, ...set up a centralized bureaucracy, and sent out swarms of inspectors to harass our people. It looked to Percival as as if there had to be another planet further out from the sun, tugging at Uranus and Neptune. Over the next three years this produced 5,000 pages of transcripts. Coxey to remember that "if from 10,000 to 50,000 men can intimidate Congress to do one thing, then another 10,000 to 50,000 men can intimidate them to do another thing--which leads to anarchy." Of course some might say that was almost by definition not anarchy, but democracy.

And like a latter day "Lost", Jules Vernes' 1875 novel, "The Survivors of the Chancellor" told an episodic science fiction adventure story of a British passanger ship, lost at sea. The most popular song of the day consisted of the repeated lyrics, "Carve dat possum, carve dat possum, children. Carve dat possum, carve him to de heart." Ala "Who Let the Dogs Out", the 19th century chart topper was offically entitled, "Carve dat Possum".  Oh, the future was coming. One story told is that Allison was a friend of George Hoyt's, and was looking for revenge. Then, three years later, Anne gave birth to twin girls. It was an hour and forty minutes before it could be restarted. Eddie put his foot to the floor, determined to seal his victory. It was worse so in 1863. The salt water here is warmed by the nearby Gulf Stream Current, and the Great Circle commercial route is just one hour sailing time out to sea. Long live anarchy."  He had evidently worked this out and wanted to be quoted exactly. The cantankerous old judge grunted, "I hope they have a good night." With that Judge Field went back to sleep. After all, Senator Sharon was dead, which, David Terry argued, had rendered any court decisions concerning the California divorce case an "ineffective, inoperative, unenforceable pronunciamento."

And by simply ignoring the existence of the Federal Court order vacating the will, he avoided dealing with the charges that the will had been forged. The museum went bust in 1899, and the owner "reimagined" the space as a public meeting center. * It was into this den of iniquity that some 2,000 delegates and their alternates marched on Tuesday June, 8th, 1920, sixty years after Republicans had first met in Chicago to nominate Senator William Seward for President, but instead chose Abraham Lincoln. When he arrived the squirrel immediately leapt on the cop. But Usimare was also a really unlucky guy. The following morning, on the front page of an Indianapolis newspaper, was a still smiling Eddie Sachs, with a black eye and a small checkered flag stuck between his teeth. * In 1964, just two years after Parnelli's record setting 150 mph pole, Jimmy Clark won it in a rear engine Lotus, at 159 mph. But the real cost of Anna Cook's revenge was three lives; her own and the lives of two men she professed, at various times, to have loved. Food was brought in, and and drink, and Grant appointed a special guard to defend the building - against whom he did not say.

Today that amount is closer to twenty pounds.

But the popularity has come at a price. These peoples buried their dead in stone crypts, and prayed to the male earth god Inguz, who drove his chariot across the sky as easily as he dived beneath the sea. Their verdict was that Daniel Sickles was temporarily insane when he murdered his good friend, Phillip Key. They are still there. Explained Daniel, when he was arrested, "He deserved it." * It was the trial of the century! The prosecutor spoke of the "echoes of the church bells" still lingering in the air" while Daniel pulled the trigger over and over. The other was Robert Good, Stella Ferrucci's husband. * Their intent was to scare the judge, maybe even rough him up a little and let him know what would happen to him if he did not play ball with Diamond. Besides, increasing taxes and government investment in infrastructure could not revive a depressed economy. And no one at any of the Judges' usual hangouts remembered seeing him. They promptly disinherited their daughter. And those now struck Phineas. It came down gradually, and I was not hurt a bit. Ahh, those Germans. In March of 1914, there were rumors that Daniel had finally died. His reputation as a murderous hot head did nothing to prevent him from being elected to first the Alabama legislature and then, in 1844, to the U.S. The budgets increases were far too small and it was far too short a war. He had been one of them. C, an obese, white caucasian male, who appeared approximately 65 years old, but who could not accurately state his age, presented to my family practice office with complaints of generalized aches and pains, sore red eyes, depression, and general malaise. He was an ex-circus barker and a current patent medicine "faker" named A.B.P. That whimper was the end of Coxey's Army of 1894.

In the speech Coxey had intended upon reading on the steps of the capital, was a desperate plea. In something less than one second, the 35 pound rod was driven out of the hole, penetrating just below Gage's left cheek bone, destroying his left eye, plowing through his brain and blasting out the top of his skull. Why would any owner suffer such an expense? Perhaps the answer and the ultimate core of the attack squirrel conspiracy was revealed when Finnish baritone Esa Ruuttunen (above), perhaps best known for his powerful performance as Telramund, was viciously assaulted while on his way to rehearsals of the new Finnish opera "Kaarmeen hetki (Hour of the Serpent) at the Helsinki Opera House. Those papers had gone into the two locked brief cases he had left the office with that afternoon. And when Craig saw my internal porch light flicker, he stopped trying to explain what he was doing to my machine. He investigated and discovered a large and intricate "drey", or squirrel's nest, constructed from the tattered and masticated shards of dozens of miniature American flags. .Ă‚ He was described by the author Charles Dickens who interviewed him as " of a most repulsive appearance; but he was unconscious of this defect as he affected an air of great consequence".

Before they had been induced to join the march, The Great (and his wife) had concoted their "blood purifyer" in a makeshift lab and mass production line on the near West side of Chicago. He called up a company of State militia and local police to stand guard. * Having finally taken the oath, Boyd moved into other offices in the state house and dispatched the Lincoln County sheriff (again) to take procession of the executive suites. Even the bondsman now

considered Ponzi a bad risk. The first recorded "Mores Code" telegraphed was "A patient waiter is no loser", in 1838; it was the dot and dash equivalent of "The quick bown fox", etcetera. Pendergast, the jury saw Edward as a pitiable character who had no malicious intent. Step one was to encourage Marie to do some charity work. Just up the street the cab unexpectedly pulled over and two more men quickly climbed in. As a little kid, ...you just wonder if he'll always have fear." The boy, now with red scratch marks all over his body, is probably too terrified to enter any park with trees. But even now a few sensed the impending disaster. * Mr. A referral to a physiotherapist was made to ameliorate his disk problem. In fact, ideologically, the John Birch Society was (and is) a sort of thinking man's Klu Klux Klan, where the KKK remains a sort of the idiot's version of the "Tea Baggers".

In 1966 the New York Times described the JB Society as "...the most successful and 'respectable' radical right organization in the country", which, if you think about it, is the equivalent of being named Miss Congeniality in a mental institution; she even brings smiles to the invisible people. His shock, and probably anger at this previously unknown (to him) interloper who was questioning his dream, must have been overwhelming. Four men were shot, others were badly beaten, and according to the New York Herald, "...those who did not escape were violently flung from the windows and doors..." As Jay would later boast, ""I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half." The courts would eventually throw Jay Gould out of the tannery, but by then he had shifted his operations to a place more suited to his nature; the unregulated economic free-for-all that was Wall Street.

While North and South battled over slavery, Jay Gould formed his own brokerage firm, Smith, Gould and Martin, and made the acquaintance of James "Big Jim" Fisk, who had made his fortune smuggling southern cotton through the Federal armies and selling Confederate War Bonds. And the Federal District had gone from less than 1 million residents in 1940 to 2,100,000 in 1943. Then, as the Imo backed away, the scrapping of crumpled metal against torn metal, threw sparks. Only then could you travel by rail all the way from sea to shinning sea. Heavy rains in June drove the marchers to higher ground and this time they moved to Roslyn, Virginia. They got out of the market. After all, you can't pledge allegiance to the flag unless you have a flag. * His pledge, published in the September 8th, 1892 issue of the magazine (above), was just 23 words long and could be recited in less than 15 seconds; "I pledge allegiance to my flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." On October 29th the pledge was first recited in classrooms across America, and at the opening of the Chicago Columbia Exposition. He raided British ports. They marched into town, with flags flying and drums pounding.

Russel's accounts had also been questioned by the bureaucrats back in the War Department, and Russel was awaiting permission from his boss, General Wilkerson, so he could also have it out in person with those annoying bean counters. Because of a refueling malfunction Foyt was forced to make an emergency fuel stop at lap 184, surrendering a 3 second lead. More importantly, only at Vicksburg (above) was the ground on the east and west sides of the river solid enough so that a railroad line could touch the Mississippi itself - there was no bridge, but railroad cars could be ferried arcross. He was the original DINO, Democrat in Name Only. *

Twenty years earlier, at the close of the Civil War, this same Isaac Grey had been the Republican Speaker of the state Assembly (above). But, he added, their patron was growing impatient after trying to kill Sir Thomas for months. In Jyvaskyla, Finland an allegedly cute squirrel is displaying an amazing level of brand loyalty. Instead, in 1851, he found a job at the Hannover Inn in Dartmouth, New Hampshire, as a stable hand and coach driver.

The contest has been growing in popularity, and beginning last year I opened the nominating process to you, the readers. But without consumers, there was not much of a swing. Louis in late September of 1806, they tarried there for six weeks without any reasonable explanation. * Today an infection of syphilis would be treated with a course of antibiotics. When he was seventeen, Jay apprenticed himself to a surveyor, Oliver Diston, at the salary of $10 a month. and 1825 A.D. Persumably, so was Mrs. What came out of their joining was a populist Democratic party, a party that saw government as a force to redress grievances, a party which, for all its numerous failings, was a people's party. On race day, driving a roadster, Eddie started far back in the field and finished third. So, after the debacles at Memphis and New Orleans, the Confederacy decided to turned Vicksburg into "The Gibraltar of the Confederacy." On paper it looked simple- the city lay just south of a thuge "S" bend in the river. In fact they were more determined than ever to put the little Italian out of business. Parnell estimated the harvest had cost the English government "one shilling for every turnip." * Boycott left Ireland with his family on December 1, 1880, traveling in the back of a miltary ambulance and escorted by soldiers. They then returned to their camp at Hyattsville for another week. He wrote two autobiographies. (and) override(s) and suppress unacceptable social responses..." (Wikapedia - "Frontal Lobe"). Neptune and Uranus, said the French astronomers, had actually formed in the inner solar system, and out of rock, like the Earth, Venus and Mars. * Four billion years ago the newly formed gas giants Jupiter and Saturn had turned the inner solar system into pool table on the break - with the still molten planets and asteroids slamming and careening into and off of each other. Police departments around the nation still have squads of officers assigned to uncovering fraud and cheating scams, named "Bunko Squads". A hundred fifty people attended Daniel's victory celebration. They saddled their horses at a nearby stable. His public manners were "accommodating and popular" - in short he was a politician and ambitious. But Jacob's box was too heavy to be holding candles, or papers, or keepsakes. I suspect that Murray

It was quite wonderful how generally the gems were scattered over a territory about a quarter of a mile square and of course we were only doing surface examination.

Hatred is a lot like ideology in this respect - reduced to its core it is all about self.

In October 50 survivors made it back to London, and reported the story in full - sort of. Some of the returning survivors even signed a letter saying that after it all they still believed in Gregor McGregor. Following Ponzi's amazing adventures in the Post, Mr. The politician Murray is usually credited with "creating" and the one who never broke trust with him was indeed Richard Nixon.

* Doctor John Lungren, personal physician to Richard Nixon, recalled a breakfast lecture he received from Murray Chotiner in 1952. And that made the neighbors envious. But when he heard people shouting that the President had been shot, Bob ran toward the Constitution Avenue entrance. Jane Housden, may have believed the same thing. He failed miserably - Thank God. In the end the Americans would steal their land and ship these Christians across the Mississippi. *  In Big Town Lewis and Neeley picked up the Natchez Trace, the "Devils Backbone" trail that wound north-eastward through the dark and ominous forest to Meriwether Lewis' final destination. - 30 * NEXT WEDNESDAY ; AMERICAN ARCHETYPE PART SIX * IF YOU GO INTO THE WOODS TODAY * FRIDAY: FOOD FIGHT The Role of Munchies in History APRIL FOOLS DAY I don't approve of practical jokes. And on March 25, 1960 Oliver's morally certain head was finally buried somewhere near the chapel of Sidney Sussex College, in Cambridge, England. After that Stark was through in Missouri politics. The worst blizzard in ten years buried the shocked port in several feet of snow and condemned untold injured to death by freezing. * Every year, the city of Halifax donates a Christmas tree to the city Boston, as thanks for the assistance which was rushed to them in the weeks after the explosion. She was a noted baker and her pies were much sought after. He must have been close enough to Chipping Camden to have heard, in the eight months between his disappearance and the trial of his accused murderers. Wages were stuck while prices inflated. And Henri was green with envy.

Now, there might be some who feel my tone slights the victims of such attacks; baloney. Eric Idle has described cows as the "...librarians of the animal world; mild by day, wild by night." And John Webster, a professor of animal husbandry at Bristol University in England, describes cows as "gay nymphomaniacs". The other knocked him down and restrained him. He actually made it to South America and back to England in 1843. Hamilton was his political enemy. Althea's alimony had already been reduced, from $2,500 a month, to $500. Their average age was 31 years old and on average they had been unempoyed for five months. But a tip led the lawmen to Dr. Timothy Pickering (above) was a hot headed right-wing nut the President was forced to include in his cabinet

to appease the ultra-conservatives who threatened to tear his administration apart. History and many newspapers would record it as the "Black Day of the Indiana Assembly." * The following Monday the triumphant Assembly dispatched a note to the battered Senate Democrats, that they would have not further correspondence with the upper house. At times they climbed high peaks, apparently in search of landmarks....The party became cross and quarrelsome.

By law, Mayor Maverick could not refuse to rent the room to anyone. But the Niger immediately turns its back on the ocean and instead flows eastward. We have E-mail, and I-phones and twitter and face-book and every other pseudonymous instantaneous electronic communication device which, with apologies to Socrates, proves that a life under punctuated is a life not worth being self-obsessed about. Says his modern-day biographer, Jan Bondeson, "He didn't have any children and never wanted anything to do with women, apart from his beloved queen."Though out most of his life, Edward Jones remained infamous for those nights he spent in Buckingham Palace with Victoria's underwear in his pants. His funeral was one of the best attended in the history of "E" town, and his monument on the rolling slopes of the Elizabethtown Cemetery is one of the tallest. (Good luck hope you enjoy the ride.) Professor Bond collected and cataloged rocks from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. He originated, or was consulted in advance, upon every great measure."Before Jackson (above), a President would look to his cabinet for advice. Some years later she moved to London where she took to the stage, as a chorus girl in the hit musical, "The Messenger Boy". Virginia Le Valette. By the middle of July both Palmer and J.Edgar Hoover, his man at the Justice Department's Investigation Bureau, had both been reduced to laughing stocks. They weren't even there. The fifth shot misfired, and witnesses managed to restrain Daniel from delivering a 'coup de grace.' Not that it mattered; Phillip Key would soon be dead. He sold them all, over and over again. General John C. Terry was thus surrounded by friendly officials, who arrested Judge Field and Marshal Neagle for murder. With Sachs....it didn't make a damn if his car was having a bad day or not. A bright, brief shinning light had been snuffed out by greed and stupidity wearing a crown. The sugar is converted into alcohol and the yeast farts cabon dioxide, until all the sugar is consumed and then the yeast dies. His name was Clarence W. I believe that history is running on an endless loop. It had not happened. Phillip, who until that instant was unaware the affair had been discovered, grabbed for the gun, and the two men struggled for a moment while a dozen witnesses gaped in amazement. By the time Peaches worked the scam, the bridge had been devalued down to $200, and the very idea of selling the Brooklyn Bridge had become a joke. And to be honest with you, I don't think the longer version is any clearer about its meaning. The Republicans would gain strength until 1948 when it looked like they were certain to regain the White House. Roosevelt began to push for an amendment to the Constitution adding a new justice to the court every time one of the original nine justices reached 70 years of age. meeting on Friday, November 16, 1855. And to those concerned that Health Care Reform or Union busting I urge you to study the century long struggle against the railroad monopolies. According to one Republican observer the "hayseeds" envisioned the world as a combination of a Victor Hugo plot and a Baptist revival meeting. By the end of that summer unemployment nationwide had topped 10%, and mobs were raiding food warehouses. Exactly what he does with all of these surprises has not been reported, but I would advise the owner that squirrels can live anywhere from ten to twelve years. A life time of being a stinker is impressive but not enough. But again there was no classic street shoot out. To finance his addiction, Jacob owned a sandstone quarry outside of Massillon, which, by the way, carried two mortgages, the second held by his first wife, Carrie Coxey.

Jacob Coxey was a visionary, and like most, sometimes he was also a bit myopic. Navy to loan him Lieutenant Jonathan Thorn, hero of the battle of Tripoli. Coxey was quoted in the papers as explaining the march this way; "Congress takes two years to vote on anything...Twenty-millions of

people are hungry and cannot wait two years to eat."

On Tuesday, May 1st, 1894 perhaps 15,000 people crowded around as the Army of 500 left camp (above) for their final seven mile march on the Capital. In 1958 he started second but engine trouble put him out after 68 laps. It's a big landfill.

Bring me Dr. Winfield Scott, who would one day command the army himself, suffered through this debacle and publicly described Wilkerson as "a traitor, liar, and a scoundrel." Wilkerson had him court martial-ed and sentenced to loss of pay and rank for one year. But I am dying to know what was going in her head, when she did..

(Sound familiar?)

Adams had permitted the rape of an American servant girl by the Russian Czar (a complete fabrication). Some returned fire. Publisher Richard Grozier and city editor Eddie Dunn had enlisted a "short, rotund powerhouse", to reinvestigate Ponzi. Two years later James Wilkerson published his memoirs, entitled "Memoirs of My Own Times." It was not a best seller. Next Ralston moved to get his money back. Grant took notice of that. First came the afternoon rains, which matched well with a level of humidity capable of inducing bread growth under the soldiers' armpits. It was the Hays Commission which gave us forty years of married couples sleeping in twin beds, no acknowledgement of drug use, no adultry in marraige without retribution, and endless stories with sacerin sweet "Hollywood" endings. And, like a lot of other bearded prospectors in the area, every summer Jacob made ends meet by working established mines for his next grubstake. How was Will able to afford a partnership in the Rose playhouse unless it was as compensation for the content he created for the company? And where did he get enough money to buy those snazzy little leotards everybody wore? * There are always other explanations and theories as to how and why Will Shakespeare could not have written all of these magnificent plays. He felt the market was about to take a downturn - which it promptly did. Phineas quickly rose to the level of foreman, and was entrusted with the dangerous job of blasting through the hard New England granite to ensure a level road bed for the rails. God sent a terrible storm to swamp the boat, and when Jonah confessed his sin to the the terrified crew, after a few moments of theological discussions, they threw the wayward prophet overboard. * That is when, in the words of the Christian hymn "...A whale came up and swallowed him whole."

During the three days Jonah was inside the great fish he prayed for forgiveness, and guided by God, the fish "threw Jonah out on a bar of sand." Every year on Yom Kippur Jews read the Book of Jonah

and ask for God's forgiveness. * And now you know why Christians, Jews and Muslims have spent the last 2,000 years slaughtering each other; its because they share so many stories like this one, which differ only in the details. It seems that for all of Percival Lowell's careful calculations, and for all of Clyde Tombaugh's perseverance, and for all the power of Alvan Clark's thumb, finding Planet X right where it was supposed to be was...just a coincidence. Foyt traded the lead, lap after lap, racing wheel to wheel, first Foyt leading and then Eddie. The first letter fired Stanton (Again!). He now had $80 cash money burning a hole in his pocket. As Richard Neuberger would write, "It was a winter of famine, and they boiled their buckskin footgear and drank the fetid broth. It had ground up the rocks trying to form a planet into the asteroid belt. Clements (above). * "Lobbying, like all persuasion, is story telling....When you lobby, tell a good story. Prologues all define drama's, not comedies.The reality is that everything comes from something else, and every beginning is actually the coda for another story.

As an example, Jacob Sechler Coxey came from Massillon, Ohio, a village founded by 150 Utopians, inspired by a similar effort at New Harmony, Indiana. He had uncovered the scam, and its fame had made him the first director of the United States Geological Survey. The remainder tried to scratch their survival out of the unhappy land. In Tunisia they established Carthage, and a thousand years later became the Roman Republic's worst enemy. On January 3, 2011 our winner took his oath of office, and by his behavior, a short 45 days later, he had reversed those election results.

According to a PPP survey, released on February 23, 52% of voters would now vote for the other guy, Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett, who was also our prophet. But forty-five minutes later, they are all proven wrong when Dorthy received yet another missive from The Guardians, via automatic writing. * However, this missive was different. The youngest, William, who answered the door that night, recognized Gibbs and was willing to loan him a horse and wagon for an hour or so. Burke and Hare they were a pair, Killed a wife and didnae care. He was just 15. Another paper noted that of the "seventy-five stragglers" who had finished this first day, several had spent the prevous night in the local jail, and were released just before the march had begun. This trip, undertaken to settle his financial problems, was putting Lewis deeper in debt. * Before dawn, two days later, Governor Lewis and James Neelly, along with their servants, an Indian interpreter and a few Chickasaws, left the fort by horseback. He called up 25 men of the State militia under the appropriately named Captain Rhody, and the Omaha Police Department, to stand guard over his self. And thus the election of 1890 was finally decided, over a year later. * Boyd resumed his office on February 3. The postage was 15 cents.

* The public was unsettled by this mailing of children, since the percentage of child molesters amongst the population in 1914 was about the same as it is today. He then made good his twitchy nosed escape. By September 17th the forward cavalry scouts had reached the Timis River. Just two years later the ship burned at the New York docks as it was being refitted for war duty. "What da-n fool got the president to do this?" Simon barked. Long before that John Hamilton had his own reactionary reckoning.

In 1937 Hamilton's wife sued him for divorce, on the grounds of "gross neglect of duty, abandonment and extreme cruelty." That same year Alf Landon had Hamilton removed as Party Chairman, as Landon tried to rebuild the party in his own Midwestern less reactionary lessidelogical image.

Under Landon's non-red baiting non-FDR hating guidance the party stopped trying to overturn the New Deal and began to climb its way back. Three years later, on Wednesday September 13th, 1848 a Rutland and Burlington Railroad construction crew, headed by the 25 year-old foreman Phineas P.Gage, was preparing a road bed outside of the little mill town of Cavendish, Vermont. Or if they had ever used them.And shutting down the investigation also left unanswered another set of unpleasant questions: who was Msr. And then on December 17th The Guardians of Clarion threw Dorthy and her followers a lifeline. * In a crucial phone call, Dorthy was told that at midnight on December 20th, several pea-pod shaped space craft, each big enough to hold ten passengers, would land in the nearby suburb of Oak Park.

But over time memories of Philip Arnold have shifted and every October the residents of "E"town stage the "Philip Arnold Dead Man Rolling Bed Race"- to raise money for charity, of course. And Charles Ponzi greeted them with cookies and coffee and a smile and gentle words and...cash. And he loved to go very fast * For most of human history, traveling 500 miles in a single day was the stuff of fantasy, Aladdin and his magic carpet. Gibbs had been convicted of piracy, and was the last man hanged for that crime in America - so his death was not entirely without meaning. On this night Wyatt did not seem legendary at all. * After serving in an Illinois regiment during the Civil War Wyatt became a teamster between the port of Wilmington, outside of Los Angeles, and the desert mining town of Prescott, Arizona. Then there would be a week taking delivery and paying debts and sharing profits, before moving on. There was bitterness in that description, since Jackson and Amos were intent upon dismantling the Bank of the United States and firing its president, who was Mr. But I digress again; my point is that capitalism requires a certain amount of rationalization, and profiting from the symbol of our nation is just another one. The revolution was just beginning. For some thirty years the "Captain", as his friends called him, was the most famous man in the world. The dog now had the scent and Hamilton continued to visit Maria and pay James regularly - in April, $135, in May and June, $50, in August, $200. But, it seems, every generation must relearn it on their own.

But the commission that ran the District of Columbia went even further. That project drew the pair into a partnership in a new leather tannery south of Scranton, Pennsylvania. My guess is we could be apologizing to Daisy and Bessie "auf die Ewigkeit warten", as they say in Germany, and it would make no difference because Daisy and Bessie are not particularly interested in our moo-tivations, because cows are just as conceited as we humans are. Eventually, embarrassed and frustrated, the officer shot him. Jonathan Watson, the man who had leased the site to Penn Oil, became the first oil millionaire. With that much money at stake, explained Gibbs, they were now all under suspicion for murder. After smoldering over the insult for a mile or so on the down slope, Smith rode back to the lead of the column and unloaded on the buckskinned duomo, calling him a "fat faced fake" and threatening, that if Browne ever spoke to him like that again he would "make a punching bag out of your face. This time, however, he opened an office in Titusville, helping other wildcatters negotiate leases from local farmers. (and) tended to be distracted by immediate stimuli" In addition, the patient displays "an empty euphoric effect...(and) can get unusually aggressive and tends to use puns a lot." In other words, Phineas Gage was a new gauge. But Speaker Elder was certain the actually winner had been John Powers, the candidate of Elder's People's Independent Party. It never failed. The next question is, of course, why have cows got magnetism?

Cows are not migratory, but they once may have been. She was also attempting to seduce the head of the Egyptian Treasury, which was called The White House. The date would henceforth be known as "Black Friday" (at least until October of 1929). (Adams had bought a pool table and a chess set). It was no accident then that the Nuevo-rich Calvinist wool merchants in the Cotswold created a belief in predestination - the certainty that you are wealthy and successful because God has predestined you to be wealthy and successful before you had even been born. Talk about a world in which your problem doesn't exist, lay out the existence of your problem, and why the target is the key to the solution."

Milo Public Affairs. In 1963 Eddie was running fourth before, on lap 181, he spun out in oil laid down

by Parnelli's leaking roadster. Sharon sued, charging Althea with attempted blackmail, and alleging that the marriage contract was a fraud. Hubby had to move out of the country to avoid his other creditors, but he left Marie behind,  as a sort of payment on account for Sainte-Croix. By 1825 she was a spinster approaching forty, and her rose had withered a bit. The complexities involved stagger the imagination. The safe in the backyard was plowed over. He had extensive ecchymoses, abrasions, lacerations, and first-degree burns on his head, arms, legs, and back, which I believe to be caused mainly by trauma experienced during repeated chimney descents and falls from his sleigh. we come to remind the Congress here assembled of the declaration of a United States Senator, "that for a quarter of a century the rich have been growing richer, the poor poorer, and that by the close of the present century the middle class will have disappeared as the struggle for existence becomes fierce and relentless." That was what all he had wanted to say.

In the wake of Coxey's Army, ex-President William Howard Taft was asked what a man with a family was to do when there were no jobs. It was the human mind which mistook blind luck for a deep cosmological insight, just as the swelling in the blood vessels behind Percival Lowell's eye had built the canals of Mars. * It makes me wonder how we can ever really be certain we are certain of anything. Political journalists and writer want-a-be's do not count. Instead the justices held an immediate huddle and Chief Justice Cobb announced that the weighty issues of freedom and public order and good government were irrelevant. So what happens now to the Republican wave that was sweeping America, as the Pooh-vernor's legacy subsides into a generation of vicious recall elections, smashed

political relationships, betrayed trusts and bitter anger? As was carved in Sir Christopher Wren's gravestone, "Si moumentum requiris, circumspice.", translated as "If you seek his monument, look around you." Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Scott Kevin.Walker, the closest thing to Julius Caesar this year. Â - 30 -FRIDAY: BEING CERTAINTelescopes as Mirrors TOO MANY GOVERNORS I am surprised that nobody got lynched in Nebraska during the winter of 1890-91. I think he was trying to make a point but he didn't get that either. "Farmers were thus forced to grow (not food for their own tables, but )cash crops like tobacco or cotton, to pay their debts." And even if, "...a farmer who found a desired piece of land became a squatter by clearing and planting it with the hope of one day purchasing the acres he had improved... And Grant understood intuitively that all that mattered was to occupy the Vicksburg bluffs and permanently cut the rail line that touched the Mississippi.

He was a skilled officer who had been given limited means (40,000 men scattered between Vicksburg and Jackson, Mississippi) to defend an objective of unlimited importance. "I might have stood there always if you had not come along," he said; "so you have certainly saved my life. Instead, on March 13, 1660 the Burgesses, members of the Virginia colonial assembly, decided to take a step back to the future by appointing "the honorable Sir William Berkeley" as their Governor, again.

Eight years before "Will" as his friends called him, had been a popular Governor. "Judge," she demanded, "are you going to take the responsibility of ordering me to deliver up that marriage contract?" Barely pausing in his recitation, Judge Field ordered, "Remove that woman from the courtroom. His last words, before the blade severed the rest of his head from his body, were, "Mort à la société bourgeoise! Vive l'anarchie!" The translation would be, "Death to the Bourgeoisie! Long live Anarchy!" Even his last words turned out to have been ironic.

The irony developed because, of the millions who were outraged by Auguste's departing utterance, the most significant turned out to have been another nobody anarchist fanatic, this one named Emile Henri, a 21 year old who was consumed with envy. As Republicans today might note, this action only deepened the depression, and insured that in 1840 the Whigs elected William Henry Harrison as President. * Amos (above) tried to go back to running newspapers. Still, it was a long train ride when you could "see the beast" a lot closer to home and save the 35 cents. Moore offered to swallow his insulted pride for a mere $2,000, but the Russian chose instead to call the police. Now, on February 21st, 1868, the President handed General Thomas two letters. This would prove to be such an outrageous power grab, a Federal court would declare it unconstitutional in 1892 However, the savvy Gray knew that the voters would take their revenge much sooner than the courts. * So, in the summer of 1886, Grey convinced his Lieutenant Governor, Mahlon Manson. Cost for the trip was 17 cents. So Marie signed herself into a convent in Liege, Belgium.This placed the pious nuns running the convent in a moral bind. The passengers were put in local hotels for the night while mechanics tracked down the Texas squirrel bound for the Far East. One commentator described him as having a "...gift for gab, lust for life, and the pluck to take great calculated risks."

And his life reads like a comic book adventure hero.

* During the American Civil War Paul joined the U.S. She received this terminal revelation via a letter from a complete stranger - as in a stranger from the planet Clarion. In fact it was from their bosses and the Republican Party, warning the workers that if Roosevelt were re-elected, come January they would all suffer a 1% pay reduction. This prompted the head of the Social Security Board, a life long Republican, to issue an immeidate response, asserting that ""Any political message in a worker's pay envelope is coercion. And they were all the daughters of powerful families. * In addition, Tey had considerable support from the bureaucracy which maintained the harem. Edgar Hoover claimed that "The Front" was plotting to blow up a Jewish newspaper, a movie theatre showing Russian films, a Post Office, and the Federal Reserve Bank, and thus spark a revolution (Oh, and it was also alledged they wanted to assassinate President Roosevelt). For the price of a full night's stay, a guest could sleep in the Shoulder Room, the Throat Room, the Stomach Room, or any of the other 27 bedrooms. The fact is not so. The timing was stupid. They see nothing wrong in the rule that to the victor belong the spoils of the enemy." President Jackson himself argued, "In a country where offices are created solely for the benefit of the people, no one man has any more intrinsic right to official station than another." The President innocuously described this conversion of government into plunder merely as the "rotation in office". And maybe that was what infected Bob, and turned him into a shlimazel.. * As the son of Abraham, it was inevitable that Bob Lincoln would be drawn into Republican politics, but he resisted as long as he could - late again. And when the expedition returned to St. And he did later go into private practice with the prosecutor. With the puncturing of his inventions, and with the help of his lawyer Mr. We are fore-armed, though." That belligerent mood was now general in the chamber. "Born and educated in America," he wrote,"I embraced its cause in the last revolution, and remained throughout faithful to its interest, until its triumph over its enemies: This occurrence has now rendered my services useless, discharged me of my pledge, dissolved my obligations, even those of nature, and left me at liberty, after having fought for her happiness, to seek my own; circumstances and the policies of the United States having made it impossible for me to obtain this desired end under its Government, I am resolved to seek it in Spain."That ought to have been carved on his tombstone.- 30 -WEDNESDAY: AMERICAN ARCHETYPE; PART THREEBoom And Bust - It's the American Way HALL OF MIRRORS I think it profound that all telescopes involve mirrors. I have had nothing to eat or drink all day."

Now it was Stanton's turn to be magnanimous. Where would a lowly commoner get money for such a trip? And why would such a man suddenly want to travel to a country where he could not speak the language? Sir Walter eventually tracked down William in Holland and had him followed closely for over two years. Mr. And that is why, on April 17, 1863, Grant sent Colonel Benjamin H.

Enlisting Burke's aid, a weight was substituted for the deceased in his coffin. He plastered Manhattan from the Battery to the Bronx with the word "OK" until the denizens were seeing it in their sleep. So as the sod busters plowed across Kansas they insisted the state restrict the rail heads for Texas cattle drives further and further from their farms.

In 1876 the demarcation line was moved to the 100th meridian, which made the town on the north bank of the Are-Kansas River, the new "Queen of the cattle towns", the 'Wickedest Little City in America', "The Beautiful, Bibulous Babylon of the Frontier": Dodge City, Kansas. * Like the other ten to fifteen cowboys in his crew, George Hoyt had just ended two months of hard, dusty, dangerous and monotonous work. What was not noticed at the time, was the fatal flaw in the logic of "live" parcel post. * The path to Parcel Post ad nauseam was first made visible on the morning of February 19, 1914, when Mrs. So much money was being made there, that the optimistic little town became known locally as the Port of Massillon. But even Francis could not resist tampering with perfection. But more importantly, he moved to improve the "efficiency" of government. But if James thought he might put "the touch" on Governor Lewis, he was quickly dissuaded. * On Wednesday, September 27, Lt. None of the criminals was insane enough to follow the fanatics.

And then in 1662, wonder of wonders, the victim, William Harrison, walked back into to the village of Chipping Camden, certainly alive and allegedly well.When questioned the old man (he was now seventy-two) told a murkey tale of being set upon, stabbed, kidnapped, hustled aboard a ship, and sold in a Turkish slave market. Shepard, sitting atop a Redstone rocket, assured his controllers that, "Everything is A-OK." And because the American space program performed in public, and the entire world was listening with rapt fascination, this anachronistic sliver of American English slang instantly became the first phrase of modern international slang.Ă‚ Everything was indeed "OK." People the world over, who do not speak or hear English, know and use OK. In fact he saw it as his personal obligation to turn the bubbly into a dull flat dark wine. They erected a canvas screen around their camp, and charged admission to stare at the unemployed men cooking their meals and tending to their daily needs, even selling their hard-tack biscuits as souvenirs to the gawkers. Navy on May 1, 1862. To bring the play to a close, Shakespeare is even forced to induce magic to convert Antonio to pacifism, but that is a dramatist's trick. He told them, "...Vicksburg is the key. Under the Normans it became sheep country.In 1340, in Chipping Camden, the wool merchants were already so wealthy they built a hall on the High Street, using the honeycolored "Cotswold stone" as facing. They were preparing the way, they said, for the return of Jesus Christ, whom they intended to crown the next King of England. Nash. Even more depressing was that in the reality, women voted like men, and less by 3 to 2; "every known instance of available data in the United States has revealed a lower rate of turnout or registration among women as compared to men...the difference between male and female turnout is in the neighborhood of 20 percentage points..." Of course the news media of 1920 were no more eager to let go of their much ballyhooed image of the election than they are at present. In the election on November 4, 1890, the Republicans and Democrats spilt seven seats in the state senate and forty-six seats in the house between them.

Still, his crimminal career didn't really get started until, at 26, he passed the New York State bar exam. Overnight the streets were cleaned, sweeping up the blood and the evidence and carting it away.

The next morning the Stock Exchange opened on time. So as they had every year, thousands of these ill-informed peasants journeyed to Paris during the last week of March and on what they thought

was New Year's Eve, gathered in Bastille Square to say bonjour to 1565 and watch the guillotine drop on 1566. This second shot hit Key in the thigh. It woould be Governor Alf Landon, known affectionately to the faithful as "The Kansas Coolidge". Abandoned, Thayer surrendered the offices, and Boyd moved in. Curtain on Act One.

As O. Thirteen days later, Edward was back in the Palace. But when Robert and Frances started planning to divorce her husband so they could marry, Thomas went ape. Marie didn't seem to mind the arrangement, and neither did Sainte-Croix. His trial with Sacco would not begin until the summer of 1921. Spotting his intended target, the French President, standing on the Chamber floor, Auguste revealed and armed his 1 quart sauce pan. On February 10th, 1840 she was married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and within a few months she was pregnant. The governor immediately ordered Justice Field, a member of the Supreme Court, released without bail, before his arrest became a "burning disgrace" to California. And that may be so. After Lazarus, the President had also heard from the National Retail Dry Goods Association, as well as executives of Gimbels and Lord & Taylor. I guess you could call Craig the man of silicone, ecept that sounds a little weird. * I do not twitter, I do not tweet. But as Chennault explained in a July 18, 1946 phone call with Tommy, "This thing would be a great money-maker if we didn't carry a pound of UNRRA cargo." So they didn't.

Worse, on July 17th, Babe Ruth, broke his own and major league baseball's record for home runs in a single season, hitting numbers 30 and 31 against the Chicago White Sox. And to drive the point home even more strongly, on July 27th, he hit number number 35, leading the hated Yankees over the Red Sox, 8-2; and the season was only half over.  But July was even worse for Bartolomeo Vanzetti.

For while his "Good Roads Association" sought to mitigate the endless capitalist cycle of boom followed by bust, his belief in reincarnation sought to minimize the trauma of life itself. He finished 17th. Seventy-one percent of Black Americans voted Democratic, as well as 57% of women, 63% of men, 76% of low income voters, 80% of Catholics and 86% of Jewish voters. The joke around town was that the building was so big that a teenage Western Union Messenger got lost amongst the endless corridors and by the time he made it out, he was a Lt. This politicizing of entire departments of government was justified

by New York Democratic Senator William Learned Macy, this way; "If (a politician is) defeated, they expect to retire from office. "When a man takes a farm from which another has been evicted, you must show him on the roadside when you meet him, you must show him in the streets of the town, you must show him at the shop counter, you must show him in the fair and the marketplace, and even in the place of worship, by leaving him severely alone -- putting him into a kind of moral Coventry -- isolating him from his kind like the leper of old." Unstated, was the reality that this was a religious war, the Catholic south of Ireland against the Protestant north and England. * On September, 22nd, a local process server, accompanied by police, issued eviction notices to eleven of "Captain" Boycott's tenants. The 1.3 billion cows alive at this moment are ponderous moovers and shakers, and udderly unimpressed with humanities' crème-de-la-crème, logic. Stanton had locked the doors.

Stanton now went native. House of Representatives in November 1857, and he and Terresa moved to Washington, D.C. By April over one quarter of his army, 500 men, were on sick call. And he was not the twin of King Louis XIV or any other Louie. It isn't. Then, when P.T.

And like any good mid-westerner, even when speaking clearly he didn't blow his own horn very much. Mr. Phillip's father, Frances Scott Key, had been so familiar with a certain popular drinking ditty (so difficult to sing that it was used as an 18th century sobriety test), that on the fly he converted it into our national anthem, translating "And swear by old Styx, that we long shall entwine, the myrtle of Venus and Bacchus' vine" into "Oh, say, does that star spangled banner yet wave, Ore the land of the free and the home of the brave."

Phillip was forty-two year old widower at the time, with six children, and "the handsomest man in all Washington society", according to Mrs. The railroad was at least a hundred miles away, he said."

The party could barely contain their greed, and wasted little time making camp before they began their search for jewels. And yet Herbert still had hopes he could engineer a come back. No matter how hard he looked. The river began to fall Friday afternoon..."

It was a bad time for a fight, so of course they had one.

As they reached the peak the Great Unknown Smith - who was mounted this day - rode back to the commissary wagons to grab a snack. The oath now reads "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisable, with liberty and justice for all". And once a beachcomber had discovered Mexican eights rolling in the surf, and was joined by hundreds of others combing the sand, there was no way of proving where the crazy eights had come from, the stolen caches or the surf. a mechanic, a nuts and bolts man".

The insurance company replied that they would be willing to make a generous settlement, which might not leave the brothers filthy rich, but at least they would be free from worry of future legal entanglements.

But tenor and ringer was John Brownrigg, who possessed a fatal combination of a conscious and stupidity, which caused him to first commit a crime and then to confess it unbidden to a complete stranger. * Perhaps it was the warm food, or the hot rum or perhaps it was the flames of purgatory which drove John Brownrigg to draw innkeeper Samuel Leonard aside and spill his tale on that stormy afternoon of November 24, 1830. He was followed by Carl Browne, mounted on a white stallion, and bedecked in his buckskin jacket and a huge western hat. The fortress was called Bada Vida, or Grandma Vida, because it had been a border fort since before the Romans.

I've got to give Harold Camping credit for being original. One biographer has described him as a man with multiple personalities: "A jurist, a professor, a Tammany Hall stalwart, and a family man."

He was also "Good Time Joe", with a penchant for liquor and lovely available showgirls. In 1932 the average American ate just two pounds of turkey a year. Fontaine, who wrote "The Washington Tragedy". One also claimed to subsist only on oatmeal. And almost no one was surprised when Judge Webster Thayer threw the book at him; twelve to fifteen years in prison.

August had shown a resurgence for the Boston Red Sox.Ă‚ It was interrupted on the 20th when the Red Sox were schedualed to play the Cleveland Indians. This produced a situation in which, wrote Nicholas Biddle, "The kitchen predominates over the parlor". It is important to note that there were no reports of crushing by the crowd, no stampede to escape the assault, supporting eyewitnesses who emphasized how well behaved the crowd had been. That forced any assault from the north far inland, down the line of the Mississippi Central Railroad toward the state capital of Jackson. But because he pleaded guilty his sentence was commuted to transportation to America. He was known to have badly beaten several of his victims, and was suspected in at least two murders. But I do know that hatred and anger always destroys its owner. His photos remind me of a vulture, for some reason. In 1863 Jacob joined a wagon train bound for the new gold fields around Phoenix, Arizona.

"In 1909 God moved two Christian laymen to set aside a large sum of money for issuing twelve volumes that would set forth the fundamentals of the Christian faith..." Of course, being a skeptic, that explained nothing to me. It was untraceable because, without a standardized national currency of their own, Spanish and Mexican coins circulated so commonly in America, that prices were figured as the equivalent in Spanish (and Mexican) currency, to the point that today's ubiquitous American "$" sign was borrowed from its Spanish inventors. * In the morning, Gibbs and Wansely opened one of the barrels of rum and shared it with Dawes, Brownrigg and the other crewmen. And he may be a squirrel...a great big, grey one, with sharp bitey teeth and maybe a bazooka.

Humans are singularly ignorant of the 300 plus species of squirrels in this world. Without a decent tasting wine to sell, a monastery could not thrive.

After 47 years of - dare I say it? - religious attention to detail, Pierre turned the haphazard blending of wines in the Champagne region into an art. Van Buren's only response to the "Panic of 1837" was to cut government expenditures, so tightly that they even sold the tools used to construct roads and bridges. He was now 22, and this was his second swing through the western circuit, telling such local jokes as "What's the difference between a cow boy and a tumble bug (a dung beetle)? One rounds up to cut, and the other cuts to round up". But closer examination of the facts reveals what it really was: a power struggle between two very strong personalities." Strong personalities? I would call them two of the biggest hams in American history. http://colonial-america.suite101.com/article.cfm/bacons_rebellion_1676#ixzz0P10jXiYb - 30 WEDNESDAY: COXEY'S ARMY; PART TWO The March Begins. But geologists still had no way of gauging how old oil was. But then Oliver went on the ultimate ego trip, launching a bloody war trying to eradicate Catholicism from Ireland. He got a job as a farm hand in Santa Clara County, at the southern end of San Francisco Bay. April 11, 1960 *

We know so much about Tommy's immediate post war business because in May of 1945 the new President Harry Truman asked FBI director J. That was the plan, anyway. The man in the Iron Mask was not Leonardo DiCaprio. One was Jim Masterson, younger brother to Bat and a fellow city deputy. And internal border crossings, each exacting a tariff, began to multiply across France as Philip's losses increased. It seems that Wyatt sensibly stayed out of sight until Allison left town, despite Wyatt's later stories to the contrary. * In 1879 Wyatt and his brothers moved on to Tombstone, Arizona. Approaching pier six. They loved him, they just weren't willing to lend him any more money. He was ably qualified for both of those jobs. She engaged the services of a big (6') blustery, bowie knife-wielding lawyer, a hot headed exjustice of the California Supreme Court named David Terry (below). He won for the simple reason that in 1920 America wanted to go back to sleep.

Harding was helped by the Democrats, who, in shades of the 2000 election, could not decide if they liked their leader enough to vote for him. Wilson was despised by everybody. Over the following years Captain John Paul aquired a reputation for brutality. daring and apparent recklessness in time of danger." But those were later descriptions. The sudden influx hit the market like a bomb, on September 24, 1869, when gold dropped 30%. And when Robert and Francis took their vows the day after Christmas 1613, Sir Walter Raleigh was already hard at work, tracking down an obscure man we know only as William.

What made this William stand out was that although he was a lowly apprentice to an apothecary, he had suddenly left England for Holland. She was able to deflect his throw so that the sauce pan bounced off a decorative cornice before exploding. And after three heady years, Harry was forced to resign when his chief aide, Jess Smith, was caught taking kickbacks from bootleggers. And after that cab pulled into the New York night, he dropped off the face of the earth. * Judge Crater was, until Jimmy Hoffa, "the missing-est man in America". The room is warmed by a wood fire. And Speaker Elder was demanding an immediate investigation. * With the Republicans siding with the Democrats against the Independents, neither side dared to adjourn. Moore, a "friend" of President McKinley who appointed him U.S. He mumbled. Each time it had been lost again, the last time in 1739, but there was a young leader on the throne in Turkey, and Joseph was looking to grab a quick trophy to assuage his critics. At least they waited until after noon for it to warm up before they even began their treck.

First there came a man on foot carrying an American flag, who the press duitfully identfied as a "negro", thus mocking Coxey's determination to treat all races in his army with equal respect. On May 22, 1939 he pled guilty. Wrote one of the party, "The loss of eight of us within two days was deeply felt." They immediately began building a fort, which they christened with the name of the man who signed their pay checks (and who had hired Captain Thorn!); Fort Astor.

Captain Thorn did not wait for the construction to be completed. And just like thousands of other twenty year old's, he pestered the owners to give him a job behind the wheel.

* According to Eddie, the drivers warned him, "Eddie, when you climb into that race car and when you punch that gas pedal down, things are going to happen you never dreamed of before. "I bring with me", he wrote, "duplicates of my vouchers for public expenditures... "He can learn to know men in this way as in no other, no matter whether (you are) selling shoes, phonographs, real estate or insurance...It is only a question of psychology, anyhow." Just before noon, on Thursday September 16, 1920 a lesson in psychology was offered to the American protestant ruling class, if they cared to learn such a lesson. If history is any guide, more than 90 percent of union money will be used to defeat Republicans no matter what happens."Ă‚ And every day Pooh refuses to let go of the honey pot of union busting, that 90% gets bigger and bigger and bigger. Others came from England, France and Italy. Elder presided from the podium, calling on speakers and announcing votes, while Meiklejohn sat at the clerk's desk, doing the same, but for other people. In 1968, when Nixon won the Presidency by a narrow margin, Murray was still there again, if now behind the scenes. It did not work.George Washington did not trust James Wilkerson, nor did John Adams or James Madison.

Joseph, under construction or otherwise, and no farm land. And in 1674, there landed in the midst of this fraternity Will's nephew, the impatient and ambitious 24 year old, Nathaniel Bacon.

Will welcomed his nephew (above) warmly, giving him property and a trading concession with the Indians. Normally these dioxide farts would disapate into the air while the wine fermented. From this point the business of government in Nebraska got very noisy and ground to a complete halt, all over the issue of the certification of the new governor. * As these things were normally counted, the clear election loser was the Republican candidate L.D. And not a single one of them would have willing made that sacrifice if it had been offered to them, because for our world to be born, theirs had to die. A stock broker the next day quipped, "It was characteristic of Mr. Of course it has stuck around as a vestigial etymological fossil, but any current criminal shrink can now vouch that the loonies who espoused anarchy were really just pathological egotistical narcissists. Nash has b---s as big as a bull!"

Dispite the story being gramatically incorrect (Mrs. As Time Magazine detailed, "After 15 minutes (of) yelling, shrieking (and) hooting, (Hoover) was allowed to begin. But it had cost Meriwether more than is or was then generally understood. * While on this three year adventure, not only had he repeatedly starved, been frozen, and nearly drowned several times, he had also been shot by one of his own men (by accident). And when you do you will understand why William Ralston had been so willing to believe, and why capitalism depends upon a fantasy and a fraud. As that repetitive plotter Antonio puts it in The Tempest, "What's past is prologue", which he says while plotting yet another assignation. Both Nixon and Knowland won. * Politics was still a "hobby" at this point for Murray. And when Jackson moved into the White House, Amos came with him.Officially, Amos was given a vague job in the Treasury Department. But the next morning, faced with a cold rain and an impending battle, General Wilkerson came down sick, and the actual command fell to a General Boyd. Eventually the sick old coot was forced to admit that he had a mine. Louis. Or torso. Almost overnight Walker's speech was transformed from being about

Buncombe to being "pure Buncombe" itself. The truth was that Pendergast Ready-Mix Cement was probably his only entirely legal business. But those official bargains were only available in parcels of 320 acre lots. * And as was, again, noted in "The Completion..." "The common Carey Plow (above) was made entirely of wood, save for an iron collar to cut the sod...With such an implement an acre was a good days work." In other words, any farm over forty acres was simply of no use to a family depending upon farming for its livelihood. * The only people who could afford to buy into the Federal auctions were wealthy speculators and combines of speculators, who re-surveyed and subdivided the land, and then re-sold it to smaller speculators, who re-surveyed and re-sold it to even smaller speculators. The prosecutor spoke of the "echoes of the church bells" still lingering in the air" while Daniel pulled the trigger over and over.

All this kitchen chemistry was required because 19th century turkeys were scrawny and almost exclusively dark meat. William Stead, from the magazine Review of Reviews, noted that "Never in the annals of insurrection has so small a company of soldiers been accompanied by such a phalanx of recording angels." It would quickly develop that he was one of the more sympathetic angles.

"The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick," said the Witch, "so you cannot miss it.

Together they opened an embasy in London, and in Scotland they began offering Poyais farmland at bargin prices, as "...an asylum only for the industrious and honest." Almost overnight they sold some 200,000 pounds worth of Poyais bonds. And yet she was about to come within a hair's breath of controling one of the biggest fortunes in America, while entertaining an entire nation for a decade.

In 1923 the America Legion, then made up mostly of veterens of World War One, the Spanish American War, and the Phillipines Insurection, decided that the phrase "my flag" was too open to interpitation. The rest of us just hadn't noticed it yet. They held the place for a little over six hours, until Jay returned from New York. of course, that required that at the same time they belittle and dismiss the millions of their desperate fellow citizens whose plight the march was trying to publicize.The crime was that the news media of 1894, like the media of today, were perfectly willing to ignore the drama, and instead protray the march as a joke.

But the lady goddess did have a perfect living example of the breed, a walking earthquake of passion and self-centered delusion named Sarah Althea Hill - she didn't much like her first name and was known to friends and enemies alike as Althea. They were shocked at Daniel's display of marital compassion. Explained Daniel, when he was arrested, "He deserved it."

It was the trial of the century! Again. This is what happens when lawyers stop thinking with their big heads.

"It is with our passions as it is with fire and water; they are good servants, but bad masters."

Roger L'Estrange So, on September 3, 1888, Althea and David Terry found themselves back in the Assesors' Building (above), while the final decision in their contempt case was read out by the ancient, pompous, humorless, Federal Judge Stephen J. And, since these experts believed that adding another week to the shopping season would increase sales by 10%, Franklin announced, this year, at least, he was moving Thanksgiving to Thursday, November 23rd.

The first alarm should have gone off when Fred Lazarus ran into his younger brother Simon. And a 17-year old apprentice, Samuel Maverick, had been struck down by 'lobster backs' at the Boston

Massacre. He hired the best detective he could find, the long time San Francisco Captain of Detectives, Isaiah.W. Althea was sentenced to one month. What he was, was a marketing genius.

And if there were second thoughts after John's gallows conversion to innocence, they were put aside.

Does that look like anti-Semitism to you? Who but an anti-Semite would deny it? At the time Coughlin openly justified his anti-Semitism by claiming "Jewish persecution only followed after Christians first were persecuted" and promised, "When we get through with the Jews in America, they'll think the treatment they received in Germany was nothing." He preached the same strain of ugly hatred that underlay Charles Lindberg's "America First" committee, and Henry Ford's American publication of the Czarists fraud the "Protocol of the Elders of Zion". And when the Nebraska legislature convened in joint session in January of 1891 things very quickly developed into that Victor Hugo melodrama. * To begin with, the new speaker of the House, Independent Sam Elder, decided he was going to bypass the acting President of the Senate, Republican George Meiklejohn (who was also the lieutenant-governor) and preside over both houses of the legislature all by himself. I seen nothing humorous in having your shoes set afire while you are wearing them. The brilliant photographs are from the creative mind of Glen Wexler, in "The Secret Life of Cows".

- 30 SUNDAY: COMPROMISE When The Middle Ground Is The Losing Ground COXEY'S ARMY: PART TWO I am glad I was not there on that Easter Sunday, March 26th, 1894, when what the press would call "Coxey's Army" set out from Massillon, Ohio. His family connections in Hardin County, Kentucky, and his donations to local politicians were only reinforced by the interviews he gave to the "Louisville Courier"; "I have employed counsel, a good Henry Rifle" he announced. The army hesitated, but enough men automatically leaned forward, that Smith (actually Bazarro) sensed an advantage and seized the moment.

He turned his horse and rode back amongst the men. A month later who should arrive but King George Frederic (yes, he was real) aboard an English ship. All past indiscretions were forgotten, if not forgiven. * And I believe that for every second of his 91 years of life , Daniel Sickles (above) was totally and completely insane. Tariff's were now levied on every wagon load of goods bound to and from The Fairs. A generation after that war, Thomas Jefferson's road improvements bill had failed to fix the problem. His public image remains as a villain in films, plays, history books and a child's nursery rhyme. But things did not work out that way. And yet, curiously, land prices remained cripplingly high. *

This all came about because of Alexander Hamilton's great compromise. And in a rational world, that would have settled that. The Frisian villagers who gathered the amber up in hand held nets could not have known where this amber had originated from anymore than the Celts in England knew their Sea Coal had a companion under their feet. And that, one way or another, is the way most badger games end. * In contrast there was William A.E. For a long moment the two ships hung there in the middle of The Narrows. It is to Amos's credit that, when the war finally came, he publically supported the Union cause, which, for a Democrat who was unending in his criticism of the Lincoln administration, was not an easy thing to do. * The amazing Amos Kendall died on November 12, 1869, at sixty years of age. Before them stood a little man...He was clothed all in green, from his head to his feet, and even his skin was of a greenish tint. The old man - at 73 he was the oldest man in the Senate -had crafted a course of action he was assured would placate the firebrands in the South. He was attracted to drama, which was unusuaul for a student of "the dismal science" of economics.

Amongst the things settled at Bretton Woods was how to structure the world's economy after World War II. Here is the Red River, which will supply the Confederacy with cattle and corn to feed their armies. The Frisians fashioned the amber into jewelry and sold and traded it with their inland neighbors. Eddie Foy died of a heart attack in 1927 at the age of 71. * In September of 1878 a cattle broker and gunman named Clay Allison came to Dodge looking for a showdown with Wyatt Earp. The church objected but that only slowed Philip down, it did not stop him. But nobody outside of the diamond industry had ever heard about those guys. And their personal history provided some insight into the movement they had fathered. * Lyman Stewart (above) was the deeply religious eldest son of a tanner. The term "ad nasseum" leaps to mind. But Elder believed with good reason that 2,000 fraudulent votes had been cast for Boyd in Douglas County, centered on Omaha. Now it was embarrassing.There was worse to come. The board of directors of his new company were empowered not only to dig out the diamonds of Diamond Mountain - where ever it might be - but they were also empowered to cut and polish the stones, and develop the market for them. No trace of the old man or the money was found. He would prove to be an effective opponent - for Frederick Bates was a very good at being an unpleasant man. *

As Bates wrote to his brother, "My habits are pacific. Every indication was that first thing Monday morning, he would easily be elected. Barron had access to), Mr. Astor had now taken up residence.

By 33 he fell into the profession of footpath, a thief who waylaid fellow pedestrians at gunpoint and robbed them. William was suspected of much more. But Howard has found a new way to avoid facing up to this reality check. * On May 23rd, 2011, the day after the day after doomsday, Howard went on his church's radio network and assured his confused followers that, in fact the world had ended two days earlier, just as he had predicted. He inspired H.G. However, on the 24th , Coxey's Army, now 340 strong, marched into town, escorted by the deputies. The two mobsters fought back, trying to keep Crater in the cab, and at some point in the struggle, Judge Joe Crater was killed.

The first place and time I would visit would be West 45th street in Manhattan, just after 9:00 PM on the night of August 6, 1930. They were no better trained than the Ohio National Guard troopers who opened fire on unarmed civilians 160 years later at Kent State. He was never paid, of course, but it stilled any public concern about his investment scheme. Barnum's museum in New York, there is no evidence he ever did. In fact, William Burke was the man who paid the price, of being remembered as a fiend, but whose real crime was just not being very nice. - 30 COXEY'S ARMY: PART SEVEN I imagine that every one of the seven miles from Brightwood Park to the capital were very tense for Coxey's Army. Nash wore a pink Tarleton (which she sewed herself) and false curls, and she had "constant partners".

Then, unexpectedly, Sergeant Nash stole his wife's savings and deserted her and the service. He supported Roosevelt in the 1932 election ("Roosevelt or Ruin"), but by 1935 Coughlin was calling him "The great betrayer and liar...Franklyn Double-Crossing Roosevelt". So between attacks of debilitating fevers, Joseph ordered an immediate forced march to capture Vida, and the nearby village of Karansebes. Call me a romantic. We're supposed to be beyond that in this country." Well, we are approaching a century later and we still aren't! Finally, Landon himself was coaxed into joining the anti-Social Security bandwagon. Afterward this technique, which left no visible wounds or bruises, would be called "Burking". Clown shoes.

Hamilton not only survived this horror show but within ten years became one of the most successful and powerful men in America, the man who invented the American economic system. The 66 year old strode up behind Judge Field.
