2006 year end
We're going to review the year 2006 in Political Tidbits and we've covered most everything.
We begin with the new Jesus Christ, Superstar-Barack Obama. Let us not forget poor Mark Foley who got run out of town and office when he committed no crime.
Remember those fake Mideast pics? Oh, and Tookie Williams...he's dead now.
Also, it was covered on this Blog back when it happened but the trial is coming up soon. I speak of the travesty of Haditha.
All this and more in this Blog post which covers the entire year in politics. Pic of the Day
| Quote of the Day
Classic Quotes by Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) British statesman and author, A Conservative Government is an organized hypocrisy. -------------------- A consistent soul believes in destiny, a capricious one in chance. -------------------- A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art. -------------------- A majority is always better than the best repartee. -------------------- A man may speak very well in the House of Commons, and fail very completely in the House of Lords. There are two distinct styles requisite: I intend, in the course of my career, if I have time, to give a specimen of both. -------------------- A precedent embalms a principle. -------------------- A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity. -------------------- Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

| TIDBITS What was the origin of the hand signals used in baseball today?
In the early 1900s, the New York Giants baseball team had a pitcher named Luther H. Taylor. He was a deaf mute who was, in an era of insensitivity, nicknamed "Dummy." Taylor lost a lot of games due to his inability to communicate with his teammates.
John McGraw, the manager of the Giants, was under enormous pressure from the team's owner, the fans and the sportswriters to trade Taylor. Instead, McGraw (who seems to have been a Giant of a man) required the entire Giant team to learn American Sign Language. Once that was accomplished, McGraw used hand signals to lead his team.
That's the origin of the hand signals that are used in baseball today.
