Today in Heritage History, May 29, 1912, fifteen young women are fired from Curtis Publishing Company (original publishers of the Ladies Home Journal and the Saturday Evening Post) for doing the Turkey Trot (dance), even though they were on their lunch break. The dance was banned by the Vatican, not because it was considered immoral, but because it infringed on copyrights to their own private version of the dance; The Altar Boy Trot.

Today in Heritage History, May 28, 1994, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh (43) marries his second “slut” and “prostitute” (who unlike Sandra Fluke apparently really did expect to be paid to have sex), Marta Fitzgerald (35).
P.S. At the risk of violating my fourth wall, as a Veteran (I know…hard to believe… such a reverent guy like me…huh?) I would like to wish all my fellow Veterans and readers who know, have had, or love a Vet somewhere, a Happy Memorial Day. And I also send a warm thank you for being a dedicated defender of the privilege for all ill-humored authors to be ill-humored…everywhere. Happy Day..and Semper Fi!
