ON THIS DAY
On this date in 1805, Lewis and Clark first saw the Pacific Ocean. That's when they uttered those immortal words, "Well, that's about as far as we can go!"
That's when Clark said to Lewis, "How in the heck are we going to get across that?"
That's when Lewis made that famous statement, "Want to swim out and see how far it goes?"
It looked just like the Atlantic Ocean, but just in the other direction.
It was exactly where they expected to find it: down by the beach.
Madame Marie Curie was born on this date in 1867. She and her husband discovered radium. Of course, without it, we couldn't drive around on radium tires.
On this date in 1874, the Republican party was first symbolized by using a cartoon elephant. Ironically, I don't remember who did it.
In 1876, the cigarette-making machine was invented.
It seemed like such a good idea at the time.
Of course, the guy who thought of it was a Cancer.
After smoking a few fresh off the machine, the inventor had to say it: "Nice butts!"
It was on this date in 1893 that Colorado granted women the right to vote. Before then, if Hillary had run, she wouldn't have been able to vote for herself.
On this date in 1929, the Museum of Modern Art opened in New York City. Needless to say, Art was flattered.
In 1962, Richard Nixon told the California press, "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore." It was the day after he quit as goalie for the Republican soccer team.
