RWNJs like to point out that it is also Lenin’s birthday, as though the communard eco-wackies who originated Earth Day selected this particular day as a kind of secret celebration. Even more ominously, it is also Mohammed’s birthday, as well as Bettie Page’s so we have communism, Islam, and wild women all covered (or un-covered in Bettie’s case). It’s a wonder some red state legislature doesn’t vote to abolish April 22nd altogether and go straight from the 21st to the 23rd.
