Today in the Sheer Utter Pointlessness of "Human" Existence

In 1974, Ford pardoned Nixon for his many crimes, setting the precedent that no President will ever be held responsible for anything besides having an active sex life. Good job, Jerry. People now dead but born on this date: Richard I, Coeur de Lion (1157-1199); Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904); Alfred Jarry (1873-1907); Jimmie Rodgers (1897-1933); Peter Sellers (1925-1980); Patsy Cline (1932-1963) & many others too dull to mention. Scotch™ Brand Cellulose Tape was developed today in 1930.

God rest Patsy.

She's worth more than any of the rest of them. (well, maybe she's on par with Peter Sellers)
