Today in New York, we've got the Presidential Primary and the victory parade for one of New Jersey's two football teams. Sounds... crowded. But fun! Yay voting!
On this date in 1778, South Carolina became the first state to ratify the Articles of Confederation (take THAT Delaware!). Then, in 1861 (on some other date), South Carolina became the first state to secede from the Union (take THAT Mississippi!). Oh, South Carolina. Always rushing headlong into things, like signing articles and seceding from Unions and... and... naming your state after British kings who bear a striking resemblance to Jonathan Pryce. Seriously: http://it.hule.harryda.se/itda05/vikhan/Engelska/Charles2england.jpg I suddenly feel like buying an Infiniti.
