It’s April 20, 4-20. It’s Pot Day to a lot of people. It’s also a day with a grim history: the anniversary of the collapse of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Columbine High School massacre, the Deepwater Horizon explosion, and Hitler’s birthday. This is a week that has been fraught with danger in not-so-distant history: the Boston Marathon bombing anniversary was April 15; the Virginia Tech shooting anniversary was April 16; the Oklahoma City bombing anniversary was April 19. Maybe T.S. Eliot was right; maybe April really is the cruelest month. - Jim Geraghty (from The Morning Jolt)
