NEWS: This Day in History - April 10th

April 10th is an historic day...here are some of the highlights -

• 1866 - The American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was incorporated. This non-profit humane society helped thousands of animals from the Katrina disaster, such as deploying teams to retrieve abandoned pets and providing shelter. That's exactly two more things than President Bush did.
• 1874 - The first Arbor Day was celebrated in Nebraska, where thousands of trees were planted, much to the displeasure of local conservatives. The very next day, those same conservatives founded the "National Clean Your Gun and Shoot Black People Day." Must have worked as nobody seems to plant trees anymore. The other has turned into an everyday celebration.
• 1912 - British luxury liner Titanic sets sail. I saw the movie...I know how this one ends.
• 1925 - F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" was published, representing how an economic boom can produce unrestrained materialism and a lack of morals in people. Two weeks later, the book was taken off store shelves and removed from schools due to the fact that it exposed how Republicans really are.
• 1930 - Despite pressure from the Pope and crazy catholics worldwide, the first synthetic rubber was produced. Catholics realized that this meant the mass production of condoms, which entailed preventing HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis, unwanted pregnancy, and a multitude of other reasons Republicans use to hate and oppress other people.
• 1936 - The birth of John Madden. Most people think of Madden as a crazy sports commentator and former NFL coach. But he contributed great things to this world, such as the Madden video game, tough actin Tinactin, and turducken.
• 1971 - John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads" hits the charts, marking Denver's first song ever to do so. Yeah, that's the same Mr. "Sunshine on my God Damn Shoulders" John Denver we all know and love.
• 1984 - Singer and actress Mandy Moore was birthed. Let's see, that's makes her about 16...way too old for this guy.
• 1996 - U.S. President Clinton vetoed a bill that would have outlawed a technique used to end pregnancies in their late stages. How can you outlaw falling down the stairs?
