a wee bit too late
On Saturday—a good, oh, ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO FUCKING YEARS AFTER SLAVERY ENDED—the Virginia General Assembly apologized for it.
And now comes word that a New York congressman wants to honor Anne Frank—WHO'S BEEN DEAD FOR SIXTY-TWO YEARS—by granting her U.S. citizenship.
Let's keep the ball rolling, people. I hope these two bold (if odd and useless) gestures inspire a groundswell of long-after-the-fact humanitarian action.
I'll start. I would like to personally apologize to everyone whom the Vikings raped and pillaged. Furthermore, if I were alive at the time it was happening, you can bet I would have told them to knock it off.
