On This Day:
1757 American founding father Alexander Hamilton was born in the West Indies.
His Momma told him to practise his pistol shootin'. He didn't.
1805The Michigan Territory was created.
First evidence of Detroit money pit.
1861Alabama seceded from the Union.
Latent aversion to Michigan finally won over.
1935Aviator Amelia Earhart began a trip from Honolulu to Oakland, Calif., becoming the first woman to fly solo across the Pacific Ocean.
Next woman to take that trip was asking "coffee, tea or milk".
1964U.S. Surgeon General Luther Terry issued the first government report saying smoking may be hazardous to one's health.
New report says "everything may be hazardous to one's health". Class action lawyers donate another $trillion to democrats.
1977France set off an international uproar by releasing Abu Daoud, a Palestinian suspected of involvement in the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
And they are offended that the world calls them "surrender monkeys"?
2003Calling the death penalty process 'arbitrary and capricious, and therefore immoral,' Illinois Gov. George Ryan commuted the sentences of 167 condemned inmates, clearing his state's death row two days before leaving office."
Gov. Ryan checked into prison shortly after his ruling.
