Where was C-SPAN When We Needed Them?

This Day in History

30 January 1798

The first brawl in the U.S. House of Representatives was witnessed by legislators. Congressmen Matthew Lyon and Roger Griswold duked it out right there on the House floor. The spat occurred when Lyon spit in Griswold’s face.

This sure makes things seem a lot duller in Congress these days, doesn't it?

On a different note:

Happy 64th Birthday
