In honor of April Fool's Day (or is it April Fools' Day?), I wanted to set out a list of a few facts that should be April Fool's/Fools' Day jokes, but aren't:
* There are now successful reality TV shows based on hoarding, pawn shops, doomsday prepping, housewives, duck whistles, alligator catching, arm wrestling, dance moms, teen moms, naked survivalists, and other narcissistic freaks.
* Climate change.
* Most Major League Baseball teams start the year with virtually no chance of making the playoffs, and this is supposed to keep sports fans occupied all summer.
* A full jumbo jet was lost in the south China Sea and no one has the faintest clue exactly how or where.
* Fox News.
* This winter wasn't the coldest and windiest on record.
* Steve King is a U.S. Congressman.
* [This one gets added effective on April 2, 2014: The U.S. Supreme Court again rules that there is a First Amendment protection given to those who want to make unlimited financial donations to political campaigns, and that said protection won't corrupt politics.]
