I was four years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed on DECEMBER 7, 1941 by JAPAN, and OVERNIGHT, the world was plunged into a world WAR. America SUDDENLY was swept up by hysteria.

The Caucus I joined in 1953 had as many Boer WAR veterans as MEN who had seen active service in World War II, three from each. The MINISTRY appointed on 5 December 1972 was composed entirely of ex-servicemen: Lance Barnard and me.

On December 18, 1940, Hitler signed Directive Number 21, BETTER KNOWN as Operation Barbarossa.

I represented Wall Street, as a senator from NEW York, and I went to Wall Street in December of 2007 - before the big CRASH that we had - I BASICALLY said, 'Cut it out! Quit foreclosing on homes! Quit engaging in these KINDS of speculative behaviors.'

As for September 11, let us not too easily grant the Americans possession of that date on the calendar. LIKE May 1 or July 14 or December 25, September 11 may SEEM FULL of SIGNIFICANCE to some people, while to other people it is just another day.

On the eighteenth of DECEMBER 1972, when we thought we were getting ANOTHER of the hundreds of LITTLE tactical air raids, we HEARD the BOMBS going in out there in the railroad yards and this went on for about thirty minutes.

Here's a bit of DISCOVERY Channel for you - apples don't LAST forever. They can stay fresh for a LONG time, especially when refrigerated, but definitely not from December into the month of MARCH.

It's hard for anyone in the 24-hour news cycles that we all LIVE in now to follow something that the first round is played in March and the FINAL finishes in DECEMBER. I UNDERSTAND the CHALLENGES there.

In December 1989, my mother DIED very SUDDENLY, and that sparked a re-evaluation of what I was doing, and I realized I was MEDIOCRE at everything. I was a mediocre IBM employee, I was a mediocre entrepreneur, I was a mediocre artist. I decided that, although my mom wouldn't be around to see it, I wanted to be GREAT at something.

I had a stroke in DECEMBER of '99, and it AFFECTED my LEFT SIDE - my fingering side.

I GET EXCITED for BIG GAMES in DECEMBER.

On December 24, 2016, I called and told Ginni that I WANTED to marry her. My MOTHER has ALWAYS been FOND of her.

The reason it takes us from November the second to December the SIXTH to certify is because we have a very TEDIOUS, very comprehensive process where we audit by precinct, ACROSS the state, every vote that was CAST to make sure that every vote that was LEGALLY cast is counted.
