The Youth of America have a question for Mr. Huckabee -
Thank you for pointing out that Natalie Portman forgot to be appropriately shamefaced when she appeared in front of one billion people, swollen with her bastard child, to accept her Academy Award.
Can you point out when you took the Palin family to task for allowing their slattern Bristol's appearance in public?March 4, 1849 -
This is a US secret you probably don't know - this is the day America had no President.
Pres. James K. Polk (whose cause of death was officially listed as "diarrhea") officially stepped down as the 11th US president and President Zachary Taylor (who died in office after eating cherries and milk at a July 4 celebration) refused to be sworn-in on a Sunday.
US Sen. Some say David Rice Atchison (1807-1886) of Missouri then technically held office as president until Zachary Taylor took his oath the next day. However Atchison’s term as president pro tempore of the Senate had also expired, and his new term did not begin until March 5. For the rest of his life, Atchison enjoyed polishing this story, describing his "presidency" as "the honestest administration this country ever had."March 4, 1950 -

The first official flag of the Confederate States of America, called the Stars and Bars, having seven stars, for the seven states that initially formed the Confederacy, is formally adopted as the flag of the Confederate States of America.
This flag was sometimes difficult to distinguish from the Union flag under battle conditions, so the flag was changed to the Stainless Banner. The union of the Stainless Banner, known as the Southern Cross, became the one more commonly used in military operations. The Southern Cross had 13 stars, adding the four states that joined the Confederacy after Fort Sumter, and the two divided states of Kentucky and Missouri.
While, the Southern states were adopting their banner, Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as the 16th President of the United States on this date as well.So now you know.
