Bill Mauldin

	Mauldin's famous JFK cartoon was drawn on deadline in an hour. The editors at the Chicago Sun Times took one look at the drawing and immediately gave it the entire back page. Jacqueline Kennedy requested the original. (thanks to the San Diego Tribune) Today in 1921, Bill Mauldin was born. Mauldin was one of the finest cartoonist/illustrators of our generation.
	This is a found photograph from the WW2 showing how accurately Mauldin depicted the US soldier.

Dylan Thomas

Bring out the tall tales now that we told by the fire as the gaslight bubbled like a diver. Ghosts whooed like owls in the long nights when I dared not look over my shoulder; animals lurked in the cubbyhole under the stairs and the gas meter ticked. And I remember that we went singing carols once, when there wasn't the shaving of a moon to light the flying streets. At the end of a long road was a drive that led to a large house, and we stumbled up the darkness of the drive that night, each one of us afraid, each one holding a stone in his hand in case, and all of us too brave to say a word. The wind through the trees made noises as of old and unpleasant and maybe webfooted men wheezing in caves. We reached the black bulk of the house. "What shall we give them? Hark the Herald?" "No," Jack said, "Good King Wencelas. I'll count three." One, two three, and we began to sing, our voices high and seemingly distant in the snow-felted darkness round the house that was occupied by nobody we knew. We stood close together, near the dark door. Good King Wencelas looked out On the Feast of Stephen ... And then a small, dry voice, like the voice of someone who has not spoken for a long time, joined our singing: a small, dry, eggshell voice from the other side of the door: a small dry voice through the keyhole. And when we stopped running we were outside our house; the front room was lovely; balloons floated under the hot-water-bottle-gulping gas; everything was good again and shone over the town. "Perhaps it was a ghost," Jim said. " Perhaps it was trolls," Dan said, who was always reading. "Let's go in and see if there's any jelly left," Jack said. And we did that. (excerpt: A Child's Christmas in Wales) Dylan Thomas was born today in 1914, Swansea, South Wales, UK And down at the Ministry of Silly Walks, they are blowing out candles for 70 year old, John Cleese today.

Mahalia Jackson - What a voice

On this day in 1911, Mahalia Jackson was born. It doesn't matter if you are a fan of gospel singing or not. She had a most compelling voice. Listen to ANY recording. Mahalia Jackson died January 27, 1972 and left us a stack of records.
