Today is Dan’s birthday! Even though he has become anti-social and doesn’t really post anymore (ahem), please join me in wishing him a happy one.
Normally, I contribute a this day in history list, but I’ve already done that for Dan and I’m running out of events. Instead, I have decided to highlight some of the things that are going in the world right this very minute. They have to have officially happened today (not yesterday or last night EST) and have to be memorable. If I find any reports over the weekend for 07/21, I will post them on Monday.
July 21, 2006 – This Day in History
Israel calls up reserve troops to prepare for a ground offensive in southern Lebanon
Ethiopian troops enter Somalia to protect the Somalian governement from Islamic extremists
Ta Mok, the former Khmer Rouge military chief known as “The Butcher”, died in a detention center while awaiting trial for the group’s role in the deaths of 1.7 million people in Cambodia
Happy Birthday Dan!
Sooo, Dan is a Leo, right? And aren’t you and CS Leos, too? And Mr. Bunny and I are Leos… Hmm, we should throw a huge Leo shin-dig one day…
I’m a cancer.
I take it that Dan prefers the gloomy headlines? Here’s some fake news from The Onion to lighten things up:
