TODAY IN HISTORY
On this date:
In 1824, the presidential election was turned over to the
U.S. House of Representatives when a deadlock developed
between John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, William H.
Crawford and Henry Clay. (Adams ended up the winner.)
In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln sent his Second Annual
Message to Congress, in which he called for the abolition of
slavery, and went on to say, “Fellow-citizens, we can not es
cape history. We of this Congress and this Administration will
be remembered in spite of ourselves.”
In 1941, Japan’s Emperor Hirohito approved waging war
against the United States, Britain and the Netherlands after his
government rejected U.S. demands contained in the Hull Note.
In 1942, during World War II, nationwide gasoline rationing
went into effect in the United States; the goal was not so
much to save on gas, but to conserve rubber (as in tires) that
was desperately needed for the war effort.
In 1992, a judge in Mineola, N.Y., sentenced Amy Fisher to 5
to 15 years in prison for shooting and seriously wounding her
lover’s wife, Mary Jo Buttafuoco. (Fisher served seven years.)
In 1997, a 14-year-old boy opened fire on a prayer circle at
Heath High School in West Paducah, Kentucky, killing three
fellow students and wounding five; the shooter is serving a life
sentence.

CELEBRITY REPORT
Kid Rock booted from leading
parade after profane TV remarks
Kid Rock’s profane comments on live TV
have gotten him booted from leading the
Nashville Christmas Parade.
Instead, parade organizers have invited
James Shaw Jr., the man hailed as a com
munity hero for wrestling a gun away
from the shooter during a Nash
ville Waffle House shooting in
April that killed four people and
injured four others.
On Friday morning, Kid Rock
used an expletive to describe Joy
Behar during an interview Fri
day on “Fox & Friends.” He did the
interview from his bar in Nashville,
where he swigged bourbon while tending
bar on camera and said he had been drink
ing coffee and Irish cream liqueur.
“God forbid you say something a little
wrong; you’re racist, homophobic, Islamo-
phobic, this that and the other. People need
to calm down, get a little less politically cor
rect,” Kid Rock said. “And I would say, you
know, love everybody. Except, I’d say screw
that Joy Behar (expletive).”
Multiple “Fox & Friends” personali
ties apologized on air afterward. Kid Rock
apologized for the language, but “not the
sentiment.”
Several parade organizers announced Fri
day evening that the parade will no longer
feature Kid Rock, who had volunteered to be
the grand marshal. Shaw, who has become a
national figure after his heroics in the spring,
has accepted the invitation, according to a
spokesman for the group of organizers.
“Parade organizers feel that the grand
marshal should personify the spirit of the
Nashville community,” read the state
ment from organizers Piedmont Natural
Gas, Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospi
tal at Vanderbilt, and Tennessee Holiday
Productions.
The main sponsors include Piedmont Nat
ural Gas and five bars on Nashville’s main
nightlife strip, including Kid Rock’s estab
lishment. The proceeds from the
parade are going to the Children’s
Hospital at Vanderbilt.
The bars were noticeably
absent from the statement
announcing that Kid Rock would
no longer be in the parade.
Kid Rock’s comments drew
quick backlash, with a spokesman
for Mayor David Briley saying he was
leaning against participating in the parade if
the singer was leading it, citing the “hateful”
words.
“When you have the grand marshal of
what’s labeled Nashville’s Christmas parade
saying hateful things on national televi
sion, the mayor obviously does not want to
be included in an event with someone like
that,” spokesman Thomas Mulgrew said.
At least one other Nashville politician,
Metro Nashville councilman Freddie
O’Connell, said on Twitter before Kid Rock
was dropped that he wouldn’t participate in
the parade. “The choice of grand marshal
evokes neither the spirit of Christmas nor
the inclusivity I think represents the best of
Nashville,” he wrote.
Briley is a liberal Democrat. Kid Rock,
a brash Detroit-area musician whose real
name is Robert Ritchie, for a while teased
a Republican run for the U.S. Senate in the
2018 election.
A publicist for Kid Rock did not immedi
ately messages requesting comment Friday.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
ARIES (March 21 -April 19).
Happiness gives you so much,
including improved health,
vitality and self-control. So it
really is powerful to know and
gravitate toward happiness
and all of its fortifications.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
While you like a good mystery,
you also note that there’s a
difference between a mystery
and a vat of confusion. Mys
teries have elegance and the
potential to stretch out and be
known. Vats of confusion are
more like garbage.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
There are those who are happy
to take whatever personal
power and resources you hand
over. Don’t! Remember that
you are equally entitled to living
a good life as anyone you may
be employed by or obligated to
serve.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’ll be in a position to create
a system of doing things. It
starts with you figuring things
out for yourself, and soon
you’ll realize that there are
others who need to know, too.
That’s when things get clearer.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As
you’ve already done a certain
kind of work, you can appreci
ate what it takes for another
person to do the same job.
It changes how you interact
and increases the amount of
respect flowing through your
scene.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Humor is a shortcut to connec
tion. To make a person hon
estly laugh, or even just smile a
little, is to skip 10 steps toward
rapport. But it’s a risk, because
eliciting a false laugh or caus
ing an offense is 10 steps away
from rapport.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). It’s a
strange day when you actually
sustain a high level of produc
tivity by doing very little. This
has to do with knowing when
to be quiet and when to let
people fill in the blanks and do
the work they want to do.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
conflict is a part of life and life
could not be without it. But the
level of engagement will be up
to you. If you steer away from
dramatic situations, you’ll still
have enough conflict to keep
things interesting.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’ve been touched by
the efforts of people you don’t
know, but you don’t have to
have a personal interaction to
derive meaning and to get real
value from someone’s work.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Redundancies are fine when
you’re learning something or
when you must double-check
things for safety reasons. But
unnecessary redundancies are
boring and cumbersome. You’ll
get rid of something like this
today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
You will learn so much about
people by observing what they
default to, do by accident or
talk about when there’s not
much else going on. You’re
“people,” too, of course.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
The robin’s song may sound
sweet to us and to other rob
ins, but it’s not even close to
the sort of honk that a goose
prefers. Whatever your “song”
today, there’s someone out
there who will appreciate it
over the others.
