This day in history - May 19, 1962: Marilyn Monroe sings "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to Jack Kennedy


 
Considering recent charges of sexual assault against former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn, allegations against Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of sexual misconduct and the abuse of power, and, what the hell, whatever Arnold Schwarzenegger was up to, it seemed like a good day to point out that some things never change. Powerful men too often take advantage of their position for the sake of sexual gratification. Yes, shocking, I know.
