It's really tomorrow

Rico says that would be his 57th birthday, though we're doing the party today, to avoid conflict with that Easter crap tomorrow. (Rico does not observe it, but others do, the poor deluded fools.) According to The New York Times, a few other events also occurred today:

• On 11 April 1951, President Truman relieved General Douglas MacArthur of his commands in the Far East.
• In 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte abdicated as emperor of France and was banished to the island of Elba.
• In 1945, American soldiers liberated the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany.
• In 2003, American troops took the northern Iraqi city of Mosul without a fight.
• In 2007, North Carolina's top prosecutor dropped all charges against three former Duke University lacrosse players falsely accused of sexually assaulting a stripper at a party, and author Kurt Vonnegut died at age 84.
