    Super Bowl LIV

    Super Bowl Political Ads are Cringeworthy!

    By Major Dan on February 4, 2020 Cinema & TV, Crime, February 4, Politics, Sports

    A Brief History On February 4, 2020, we have had a couple days to digest the array of highly expensive television ads pertaining to Super Bowl LIV (played and aired on February 2, 2020).  Among those television commercials were a few in particular that really seem out of place with a sporting event geared toward entertainment.  We take a look at these ill-considered ads…  (Note:  If you are wondering what sort of Super Bowl ads we actually approve of, think about Dachshunds wearing hot dog outfits running toward Ketchup and Mustard and Relish.  Or cute horse and dog Budweiser commercials. …

    Bedtime With Facebook

    By Anonymous Author on June 17, 2019 February 4

    A Brief History On February 4, 2004, Mark Zuckerberg launched “TheFacebook”, originally located at thefacebook.com.  For many Americans, part of their bedtime ritual is to check Facebook for any new messages from friends and family prior to going to bed, but what was your bedtime ritual when you were a child? Perhaps some milk and cookies, brush your teeth and then climb into bed, and wait for your mum or dad to come up to read you a bedtime story?  That could still be the case or similar for a lot of children, but for many others it is not.…

    February 4, 1992: Coup d’état Attempt in Venezuela Foreshadows Problems Today

    By Major Dan on February 4, 2019 February 4, Politics

    A Brief History On February 4, 1992, Hugo Chavez, leader of the Revolutionary Bolivarian Movement-200, headed an attempted coup against the lawful government of Venezuela.  While the coup attempt failed, another attempt in November of 1992 was also staged, even though Chavez was in prison at the time.  The second attempt also failed, but Chavez was later released from prison after only 2 years and was elected President of Venezuela in 1998, a post he held until his death in 2013.  The Chavez years were no less tumultuous than the political chaos he and his cohorts replaced, and today the…

    A Brief History On February 4, 1999, New York City police officers shot an unarmed African immigrant 19 times (out of 41 shots fired), a horrible mistake we wrote about previously on our site. (Cops Shoot Amadou Bailo Dialo 19 Times!) Police took a big public relations hit over that incident, but how about the incident in Cleveland in January of 2018? Digging Deeper On January 14, 2018, Clevelander Ronald Newberry, age 22, was pulling out of his own driveway when he was subjected to a hail of gunfire. Hit by 16 of the bullets fired at him, he somehow…

    A Brief History On February 4, 1983, the World was shocked to hear that popular 32 year old singer Karen Carpenter had died, due to complications from anorexia nervosa.  The public gaped at photos of an emaciated and shrunken singer they had known as a beautiful girl.
