April is the cruelest month. Or, if you live in Virginia, Confederate History Month. The state is buzzing over Gov. Bob McDonnell's proclamation urging residents to spend the month recalling Virginia's days as a member of the Confederate States of America. McDonnell had previously turned April over to child abuse prevention, organ donation and financial literacy, so perhaps it was OK to just pick your favorite.
