April 22: Things that make you go "Huh."

Today is the collectivist holiday of "Earth Day." It is also the birthday of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Coincidence?

Celebrate by drinking a White Russian, going out and selling something for a profit, and hollering an extra "Screw You!" at your local Marxist.

What are the odds of that coincidence - 1 out of 365? Then again, some other days are reserved for minor holidays like Christmas, Easter and Passover. May Day or Beltane, originally the mid-point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solistice had already been re-purposed by International Workers Day.

I hope the American Left never learns the value of being armed like Lenin did. It will keep Earth Day limited to fast food wrappers and empty soda containers littering the ground, instead of expended brass.
