WORD OF THE DAY - plimpplamppletteren The Dutch word for skimming stones.

ON THIS DAY - 1540 England's King Henry VIII had his 6-month-old marriage to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, annulled, then had her killed.

1850 Zachary Taylor, the 12th president of the United States, died in Washington, D.C., after serving only 16 months in office, which is why none of Jay Leno's "street walking" people know who the hell he is.

BIRTHDAYS - Tom Hanks is 52, Donald Rumsfeld is 76 and Jim Kerr from Simple Minds is 49...don't forget about him now...

NEWS!!

This isn't breaking news, but it's become a highly discussed topic lately at the water coolers of America. ABC News has forbid it's reporters to wear American Flag lapel pins or any other kind of patriotic insignia. Now you may ask yourself, what could possibly be the reasoning behind this absurd line of thought? ABC wants to remain neutral about "causes". Huh? In the opinion of Jack Sass Radio, gay rights is a "cause". Vegetarianism, however silly, is a "cause". Being proud to be an American and supporting our troops, even if...especially if...you don't agree with why they are fighting, is not a "cause". Being patriotic is your responsibility if you are an American. Can you imagine what life would be like right now if patriotism wasn't what it was during WWII? I'll give you a hint...little bitty upper lip mustaches would still be in style. The wonderful irony is that the people behind the growing national trend of Anti-Americanism only live in an environment where they can do that without persecution because hundreds of thousands of patriotic Americans were killed in wars guaranteeing that freedom.
