1964: The Beatles in France and getting ready for The Ed Sullivan Show

The Beatles performed a couple of concerts in France on this day in 1964.   They also recorded German versions of "She loves you" and "I want to hold your hand".   

Two weeks later, the guys were introduced on The Ed Sullivan Show and Beatlemania was off and running.

2005: No filibuster on Alito

Good sense prevailed in the US Senate today. By 72-25, the filibuster failed. Kennedy and other Democrats could not get the 41 votes to have their way.

Future Democrat presidents will remember this day. In other words, future Democrat presidents won't have to put up with a filibuster when they nominate a liberal to the Supreme Court.

Now, let's move on to the up and down vote.   Alito is a great judge and he deserves something more than a party vote.
