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.

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.
