Its nice to know this is History, I guess

1972 Bush is suspended from flying with the Air National Guard



Okay as a liberal who believes that history should bring out the liberal in all of us, I have a hard time really accepting that this is "history". Yes if you are the vindictive type you can show this and gloat and say hey this president really was not the war hawk he claims to be. I will let others decide.

A NOT SO NICE DAY IN HISTORY

July 31
From the History Channel
1941 Goering orders Heydrich to prepare for the Final Solution

On this day in 1941, Herman Goering, writing under instructions from Hitler, ordered Reinhard Heydrich, SS general and Heinrich Himmler's number-two man, "to submit to me as soon as possible a general plan of the administrative material and financial measures necessary for carrying out the desired final solution of the Jewish question."

My own thoughts.
Wow I don't think much needs to be said of this day. There can be good events associated with this day but overall this event just puts July 31st into the infamous days of history. Even the way the sentence is written is just so creepy. That the Nazis actually cared about the finacial aspects of the "final solution" really shows how methodically they went about this issue.

Bobby Abreu Trade

Why in the world did the Yankees make this trade. I mean I know that people think the Yanks need a new bat but we need pitching more. When Cano and Matsui come back our lineup will be fine. The 19-6 debacle against the Rays shows where our problems are. I mean you score 6 runs a game you better win most games. We do not need more runs. I can just smell Georges hands on this one.
