On this day in 1945 the first ball point pen was sold in the United States. It cost $12.95, which is the equivalent of $154.00 in 2010 dollars. The first ball point pen was rather a flop, though, mostly because it leaked like crazy.

Am I ready for the weekend? Heck Yea! Saturday is the Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert's Rally to Restore Sanity/Fear. How much better can it get? I figure the fringe crazies need some rest so tomorrow can be their day to have quiet tea parties at home while the Sane Reign for at least one day! :-) Starts at noon on the mall!
