Happy Birthday, FDR

From NYTimes 'On This Day'


1882 - Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, was born in Hyde Park, N.Y.


Come again, we need you.

Irony:


1933 - Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany.
Also today:

1972 - Thirteen Roman Catholic civil rights marchers were shot to death by British soldiers in Northern Ireland on what became known as ''Bloody Sunday.''
It is also Dick Cheney's birthday. I believe good taste should dictate that Cheney reschedule his to a different day.
