Don't know much about history?
Here's your Saturday lesson!
1828 Casparus van Wooden patents chocolate milk powder (Amsterdam)
He is harassed by a crazed rabbit for the rest of his life.
1841 President William Henry Harrison died from pneumonia, one month after his inauguration.
And Glenn Beck's great grandfather breaks down weeping...setting a precedent for generations to come.
1850 City of Los Angeles incorporated
And immediately filed for bankruptcy.
1870 Golden Gate Park established by City Order #800
Thus giving the homeless and drug addled in 1870 a place to call home.
1955 British government signs military treaty with Iraq
An infant Rush Limbaugh calls them cowards...and Glenn Beck's father cries.
1964 "Anyone Can Whistle" opens at Majestic Theater NYC for 9 performances
Sadly it closed after repeated picketing by the "We Can't Whistle" Association.
1966 US performs nuclear test at Nevada Test Site
And an 80 year old woman in Las Vegas thinks she's hit the jackpot.
1975 Steve Miller is arrested for burning his girlfriend's clothes
The only thing he didn't burn was the bra.

What's going on...
A quick update on my radio show for the next couple weeks!
This weeks its the Thanksgiving show!
Yes, I know its not until next week...
This week comedy bits and thoughts on the purely American Holiday along with the normal crazy talk!
Next week (on Thanksgiving) something special:If the turkey hasn't put you to sleep early stay up.If you caught a nap then stay up! We'll kick off the Christmas season (yes, I wait until after Thanksgiving) with some special stuff that you just won't want to miss!
In this special ONE HOUR version of My World I'll be playing back a Christmas concert given by my daughter's school.
Why, you ask?
Because in the days when I was growing up and developing my love for radio, LOCAL radio stations still existed...not the giant corporate monsters they are today. And they would have carried (and cared about) a group of school kids singing and performing at a local hospital for their "Festival of Trees".
So in honor of that kind of tradition I will re-play the performance uninterrupted and unedited.
Its sports and politics and kids and marriage and funny songs and weird news and all the things that make up my world...every Thursday at 11pm! on My World!
