The Morning Mail – March 4th, 2023

Today is a day to celebrate everyone that keeps voting for Democrats (It’s Brain Injury Awareness Day). It is also Fight Sexual Exploitation Day (where’s that list of visitors to Jeffy Epstein’s Island?).

March 4th used to be inauguration day in the US. The new President and congress (or the re-elected) were sworn into office on March 4th. The 20th amendment to the US Constitution changed all that, but before it did, many Presidents were sworn in today.

In a not-so-belt-tightening twist of irony, it is both National Snack day and World Obesity day (March 4th is also Pound Cake Day). The Waltz, Marching Music, Grammar, Game Masters, and Engineers also have a Day today.

It is also Hug a GI day in the US. Not Gibraltar (Country Code: GI) or Gastro-Intestinal, Ground Infantry, though the term can apply to any ground pounder if you happen to know one that you’d be willing to hug.

In 1801 Thomas Jefferson was the first US President to be inaugurated in Washington, D.C (as were the rest of them until the 20th Amendment was passed). 1936 saw the 1st flight of the airship Hindenburg on this day at Friedrichshafen, and in 1922 the first vampire film (an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, “Nosferatu”), premiered in Berlin.

Republican Charles Curtis became the 1st Native American to be Vice President of the United States (1929) – Herbert Hoover was Inaugurated, President.
