THEIR FAVORITE MOVIES

WE LIVE IN AN EXTREMELY DIVERSE WORLD, I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD ARGUE THAT POINT, BUT A FEW THINGS DO DEFINITELY EXIST WHICH BRING US ALL TOGETHER. I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER MET ANYBODY - REGARDLESS OF RACE, RELIGION, SEX, POLTICAL BELIEFS, ETC., WHO DOES NOT HAVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL FAVORITE FILMS.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME FAVORITE FILMS OF THE WELL-KNOWN...............

JOHN McCAIN -- VIVA ZAPATA!

BARACK OBAMA -- LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, CASABLANCA, GODFATHER I AND II, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST

SOME MORE FIRSTS

IN JUNE OF 1963, VALENTINA YERESHKOVA OF RUSSIA SET TWO "FIRSTS" RECORDS. SHE BECAME THE FIRST WOMAN IN SPACE AND ALSO THE FIRST CIVILIAN IN SPACE.

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS WAS THE FIRST (AND ONLY) U.S. PRESIDENT TO USE ICE WATER IN THE WHITE HOUSE BATHTUB (HE WOULD SCRUB HIMSELF DURING HIS CHILLY BATH WITH A HORSEHAIR MITT UNTIL HIS SKIN WAS RAW) (OUCH!!).

WELL, IT IS STILL A TOSS-UP BETWEEN HILLARY CLINTON AND BARACK OBAMA FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION. IF HILLARY DOES WIN, I GUESS THE REPUBLICAN GUY WILL BE THE FIRST MAN IN HISTORY TO RUN AGAINST A WOMAN FOR U.S. PRESIDENT- RIGHT? NOPE. ULYSSES S. GRANT, OUR 18TH PRESIDENT, HAS THAT DISTINCTION. IN THE PRESIDENTAL ELECTION OF 1872, PRESIDENT GRANT FACED THE FIRST WOMAN EVER TO RUN FOR THE PREZ'S JOB- VICTORIA WOODHULL.

THE FIRST (AND ONLY) AMERICAN TO BE BURIED IN RED SQUARE WAS JOHN REED.

THE FIRST WOMAN TO DUNK THE BASKETBALL IN A W.N.B.A. GAME WAS LISA LESLIE.

EVER HEAR OF OVERTON PARK IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE? IT FEATURED A STAGE AREA WITH A BIG SHELL, IN FRONT OF WHICH THE PERFORMER WOULD DO HIS OR HER ACT. NOTHING MUCH SIGNIFICANT THERE- EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT ON JULY 30, 1954, A 19-YEAR-OLD GUITAR-PLAYING SINGER NAMED ELVIS PRESLEY PLAYED HIS FIRST PAID PERFORMANCE AT THE SHELL. SUPPOSEDLY, SOMETHING ELSE OCCURED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THAT HISTORIC DAY. ELVIS' WORLD-FAMOUS SHAKING AND WIGGING WAS SEEN FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THAT FATEFUL DAY. ELVIS SHOOK HIS LEG WILDLY AND THE CROWD (ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG GIRLS) WENT BERSERK. "WHY ARE THEY GOING CRAZY? WHAT DID I DO?", ELVIS INNOCENTLY ASKED HIS TWO BACK-UP PLAYERS. "I DON'T KNOW, BUT KEEP DOING IT", HE WAS TOLD. ELVIS DID- AND A LEGEND WAS BORN.

STRANGE FIRSTS

RECORDS ARE ALWAYS FUN, HOWEVER, RECORDS CAN BE BROKEN. BUT FIRSTS? FIRSTS WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE BOOKS.

LET'S LOOK AT SOME OF THE ODDEST FIRSTS:

THE FIRST BABY TO BE DISPLAYED IN WAX FIGURE FORM AT MADAME TUSSAUD'S WORLD-FAMOUS WAX MUSEUM WAS SHILOH JOLIE-PITT, DAUGHTER OF YOU-KNOW-WHO.

THE FIRST PERSON TO GO OVER NIAGRA FALLS IN A BARREL MUST HAVE BEEN A VERY BRAVE MAN. BUT IT WASN'T A MAN AT ALL. IN 1901, ANNIE EDISON TAYLOR WAS THE FIRST PERSON EVER TO DO IT AND SURVIVE. ANNIE CLAIMED SHE WAS 43 YEARS OLD, BUT GENEOLOGICAL RECORDS PROVED SHE WAS ACTUALLY 63 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME (!) ANNIE'S FIRST WORDS, UPON BEING FISHED OUT OF THE WATER, WERE "NO ONE OUGHT EVER DO THAT AGAIN".

A BROKEN LASER POINTER THAT SOME GUY CALLED PIERRE OMIDYAR SOLD FOR $14.83 IN 1995. BIG DEAL, RIGHT? NOTHING SIGNIFICANT THERE. EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST OBJECT EVER SOLD ON eBAY.

THE FIRST PILOT DURING HISTORY'S FIRST FATAL PLANE CRASH WAS KIND OF IRONIC. IT WAS MR. ORVILLE WRIGHT, OF WRIGHT BROTHERS FAME. IT OCCURED ON SEPTEMBER 17, 1908.

WE'VE ALL BECOME SO USED TO SEEING MID-SEASON REPLACEMENT SHOWS ON T.V., IT'S NOTHING NEW. BUT IT WAS A NEW IDEA IN 1966, WHEN THE FIRST MID-SEASON RELACEMENT T.V. SHOW PREMIERED. ADAM WEST TOOK THE TITLE ROLE IN A CAMPY, COMIC BOOK-TYPE SHOW CALLED BATMAN. AND, AS WE ALL KNOW, THE SHOW WAS A SMASH!

PLAYBOY, AS WE ALL KNOW, HAS FEATURED SOME OF THE MOST GORGEOUS WOMEN IN THE WORLD ON ITS COVERS. BUT WHO WAS THE FIRST MAN TO APPEAR ON THE COVER? IN APRIL OF 1964, THIS STRANGE HONOR WENT TO ACTOR PETER SELLERS.
