Happy 2009!
Just a quick look back...(it's what I do)...
1 year ago: Hillary Clinton was the certain Democratic nominee for President.
5 years ago: The Boston Red Sox won their first World Series since 1918.
10 years ago: Bill Clinton escaped removal from office after being impeached.
20 years ago: The Bay Area suffered a monster quake that collapsed the Bay Bridge.
25 years ago: Ronald Reagan won a massive re-election victory.
50 years ago: Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper are killed in a plane crash.
100 years ago: William Howard Taft becomes president. Theodore Roosevelt goes big game hunting to avoid sharing the spotlight.
150 years ago: John Brown raided Harper's Ferry, Virginia trying to start a slave revolt. It helped lead to the Civil War.
250 years ago: The Seven Years War ends on the battlefield (diplomatically, it would be a few more years)
