Born July 19th

Wednesday, July 19, 1961 - Lisa Lampanelli (insult comedian, The Queen of Mean)

"I kind of almost have a male approach to comedy. If you took any of [my material], a guy could do those jokes. The reason women comics suck is, they do chick jokes, they do chick humor. And, really, does a guy want to pay to hear some cunt moaning and groaning about the things women talk about onstage? No. If he really wants to hear that he can stay home and his wife won't charge him."

Sunday, July 19, 1953 - Howard Schultz (entrepreneur: founder of Starbucks)

"We want to have the courage to do the things that support the core purpose and the reason for being and not veer off and get caught up in chasing revenue, because long-term value for the shareholder can only be achieved if you create long-term value for the customer and your people. We have to get back to what we do."

Thursday, July 19, 1860 - Lizzy Borden (acquitted of killing her father and stepmother with an axe)
