| | Courtesy of the History Channel Online: This Day in History, well, tells you
what happend on this day in history. Pretty self explainatory. However,
you not only look at today's information, but you can also research any day
you want, like your birthday!
On my birthday (January 16): Prohibition took effect in 1919, the Shah fled
from Iran in 1979, and the Persian Gulf war began in 1991...please note, I
was only around for the most recent of events.

| | The Living Room Candidate:
Ever since television became a tool for mass communication, advertising has
been a huge part of our American identity. Thus, political campaign
commercials have been a big part of our lives as well. This site contains
commercials from as early as Eisenhower versus Stevenson in 1952 to the most
recent Presidential election, Bush versus Kerry, in 2004.
