Daily Links - August 15, 2012

Today is August 15th. • On this date in 1057, King Macbeth of Scotland was slain by Malcolm Canmore. Canmore’s father, King Duncan, had been murdered by Macbeth 17 years earlier. What a drama. Someone should write a play or something about those dudes! • Also on this date, in 1947, British rule of India ended, with the subcontinent being divided into the two independent states of India and Pakistan. Reached for comment at the time, a young Joe Biden responded “so which one is 7 and which is 11?” • On this date in 1948, South Korea became a democracy and adopted a constitution, which was promptly readopted by Angelina Jolie and is living in southern California. • And finally, on this date in 1969, Woodstock began. Nearly half a million people showed up, of which almost tens of whom could remember it a week later. And don’t forget, today is National Failures Day! So be sure to send a card or flowers to your favorite Democrat. Consider this an Open Thread.
