Fed Up With April Already
American Spectator ^ | 10 Apr 06 | Jed Babbin

Posted on 04/10/2006 7:14:59 AM PDT by rellimpank

By Jed Babbin

Whoever said February is the cruelest month was clearly ignorant of April. We haven't even suffered the joys of Tax Day yet, but in ten short days so much has been fouled up it must be some sort of record. The Senate has plumbed the depths of illegal immigration, the New Yorker's Sy Hersh has a case of the nuclear vapors over Iran, disarmed Brit gardeners are being terrorized by a giant rabbit, and the Dems have finally identified a group that is a legitimate target of violence. And while the Dems gasp for air, their EMS squad -- the elite media snobs -- are riding to the rescue with decreasing effect.

No-one says that. The saying is "April is the cruellest month" from a poem by TS Eliot

In Iraq.

I always thought Torquemada was the cruelest monk.

I. The Burial of the Dead

April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade

LOL - I can relate. I'm a Houston Astros fan.

Last year was the best one we've had yet.

Still no WS championship, though. ;-)

Waco and OKC bombing also happened in April. Elián González was taken by Janet Reno in April as well.

You could always predict something was going to happen around Easter during the Clinton years.
