A ranking of some things.
1. Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway – With death of Harald V and ascension of Haakon VIII, Princess Ingrid – 22, cute, single, and heir to a throne – could be perfect match for Gaylon, who is starting to wonder who is going to wipe his ass in old age.
2. War, War, War – War with Iran now entering seventh month remains as illegal, immoral, and stupid as ever…You and me – we the people – deserve better than wars not declared by Congress and the bombing of schoolgirls, but we must demand it at the ballot box this November.
3. Gaylon For Congress…Vote Early, Vote Often – The 3-hole staple…See #1…A 60-year-old freshman US congressman would make a wonderful consort for the crown princess.

Extra, extra, read all about it.
In 70 AD – The Roman Army, led by future emperor Titus, ends the siege against the Jews in Jerusalem after destroying the Second Temple, also known as Herod’s Temple. The siege began in April, after unrest followed the collapse of a provisional Roman government. According to the historian Josephus, the siege resulted in murder, famine, and cannibalism among the Jews, with over one million Jews dying.
In 1991 – Mike Powell establishes a new world long jump record at the World Track and Field Championships in Tokyo. Powell jumped 29 feet, 4.25 inches to beat the record of 29 feet, 2.25 inches established by Bob Beamon of the US at the 1968 Mexico Olympics, and Powell’s mark still stands while Beamon’s mark remains the Olympic record. Of the eleven men who have held the world long jump record since 1901, seven have been American.
In 1941 – Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra is at #1 on Billboard’s National Best Selling Retail Records chart – Billboard’s first national record chart – for the first of four consecutive weeks with Green Eyes (Aquellos Ojos Verde). It was the eleventh of 42 Top 10 hits for Dorsey and his fourth of five #1s. Vocals were sung by Bob Eberly and Helen O’Connell, and earlier in the year the flip side of the record, Maria Elena, with Eberly singing, had spent two weeks at #1.
