Hi, Mom! Did you know that this is the birthday of Charles I of England? Yeah, the guy who lost his head over Parliament. And also James A. Garfield and George Rogers Clark and lots and lots of other people! And that on this day in 1915 Joe Hill was executed and that in 1985 Stepan Fetchit died and no, I don't think that the two events are related. And that in 1863 Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address?

But most importantly, Mom, this is the anniversary of something that has had profound effects on not only the United States, but the Whole World!

Yes, Mom. On November 19, 1959, the Ford Motor Company finally cancelled the Edsel!! Doesn't that give you a warm and fuzzy feeling inside?
