Today in History

1933 Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany.
1969 The Beatles performed as a group for the last time in public in a 45-minute gig on the roof of their Apple Records headquarters in London during the filming of "Let it Be."
1972 Thirteen Roman Catholic civil rights marchers were shot to death by British soldiers in Northern Ireland on what became known as "Bloody Sunday."
2000 - John Rocker (Atlanta Braves) was suspended from major league baseball for disparaging foreigners, homosexuals and minorities in an interview published by Sports Illustrated. Should he have said what he did, no. Should he have been suspended for it, I dont think so.
2000 - The New York Mets announced that Garth Brooks would begin training with the team on February 20.
2005 Iraqis voted in their country's first free election in a half-century. Mr. President, If you need a good reason for why we are in this war, this is it!!!
