February 22-28
* This week in 1955 America’s greatest female Tennis player, Maureen “Little Mo” Connolly retired from the game.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say her legacy has inspired literally thousands of other ’mos to get involved with women’s sports.
* In 1997 the Holocaust movie “Schindler’s List” was shown on broadcast television without commercial interruption.
This marked the first time a film had ever aired completely on TV without any advertising breaks, thus proving once and for all that the Jews control Hollywood.
* In 1455 the uber-famous Gutenberg Bible was published – making it the first Western book to be printed from movable type and also giving Gideons everywhere a reason to live.
The Bible was of course made by Johannes Gutenberg, a German printer who later went on to star in the popular “Police Acadamy” movies and the worldwide box-office smash “Three Men and a Little Schnitzel”.
* This week in 1929 Grand Teton National Park was founded in Wyoming.
To this day it still has the biggest set of Tetons in any American park not named “Dollywood”.
