"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
April 16 Is 'Emancipation Day' in D.C.

Not satire. I guess they couldn't observe this on April 15, huh? "The holiday commemorates the day in 1862 that President Abraham Lincoln signed the District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act, which ended slavery in the District of Columbia and freed more than 3,000 slaves." Wait, you mean to tell me that during the war that was fought to "end slavery," slavery continued in D.C. for a year after the start of the war? (Editor's pick)
