    September…Baseball Races, US Open (Tennis), Football Season starting, Kids back in school, summer heat slowly going away

    August for me . . . corn on the cob, barbecues, drinking coffee on the deck in the morning, drinking beer on the deck in the evening. Also, fond memories as a child trying to make every day in August count as school was starting in days.

    I think I’m with Mark on everything except races. Please let the record show that I substituted the word “Ocktoberfest” for the word “races”…

    Hey, Mark H, place your vote as well.

    August… for all the reasons Nemski says. Also some of the good stuff from September really begins in August; late nights in August the haze starts to clear and the slant of the sunlight takes on that autumn clarity, and you start to hear the wind rushing through the treetops as the seasons begin their change.

    Definitely October, finally get to turn off the AC and sleep with the windows open. Lots of harvest related activities and anticipating the holidays. Halloween! It used to be a dry sunny month, although I think that is changing. Good time to go on a trip ’cause the kids have gone back to school and things are less crowded, although I’ve also noticed that the wrinklies are all out in force in October in their buses with their walker frames.

    I say live in the now.

    Don’t go pining for some imagined great month. Make this month your favorite-ist month EVHA! and tell the world to like it or lump it.

    I’m a partisan for April and I’m asking you to join me in making April the official month of the DelawareLiberal blog. Who is with me?

    I wonder which month will be the Ringo of this poll?

    I think TS Eliot said it best:

    “APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
    Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
    Memory and desire, stirring
    Dull roots with spring rain. “

    July. Independence Day, fireworks, and Summer is still long from over. Weather that’s hot, hot, hot!

    I have to go with August, for all the reasons that nemski and anon list, as well as it’s my birthday month.

  16. jason330 says:

    TS Eliot can eat me.

    April is unpredictable – like a fascinating woman. She teases and breaks promises she’ll eventually keep. You can’t help but love April or that first absolutely perfect day, but don’t get too comfortable, April also doesn’t tolerate being taken for granted, unlike May who gives it all away for free.

    (Take that!)

    Pandora – I already voted for September. Autumn begins (my favourite season), baseball, pennant races, American football, European football is back, Oktoberfest in Munich, my birthday, etc. But after your April analogy I almost changed my vote. (Almost.)

  19. pandora says:
    April 9, 2009 at 9:10 am

    Thanks, I try… and I do know my audience!

  20. Dorian Gray says:

    Ah, it was premediated! I feel manipulated and used… in a good way.

    December through March, the Ringo Starrs of months.

  22. Another Mike says:

    August means a week at the beach with my family (the large extended one, not just the same faces I see every day), lots of golf, baseball games without hoodies and UnderArmour, nights at the pool, sandals, and no homework! (Sorry, forgot I’m not 11 anymore. Scratch the homework.) Go heat!

  23. anon says:
    April 9, 2009 at 9:52 am

    December through March, the Ringo Starrs of months.

    “I’m a partisan for April and I’m asking you to join me in making April the official month of the DelawareLiberal blog. Who is with me?”

I will fight to beat this April nonsense. the line in the sand is drawn!

  25. liberalgeek says:
    April 9, 2009 at 9:59 am

    I’m with you a. price. Jason is lucky that there are laws protecting him from me.

  26. jason330 says:
    April 9, 2009 at 10:05 am

    You mean I’m not where you need me to be?

    PS. All you Aug – Nov people are goat fuckers. Just sayin’

    I pick April too. But not for the reason jason does. I pick it for all the energy, and renewing spring brings me–and daylight savings time.

    I just know jason and groupies pick April because of taxes. They just love ’em.

    April 4th 1968 – Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated

    April 7 1994 Hutu extremists in Rwanda began massacring ethnic Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus. In 100 days of killing, an estimated 800,000 are murdered.

    On april 9th 1942, American and Philippine troops on Bataan were overwhelmed by Japanese forces during World War II. The “Bataan Death March” began soon after.

    Wowsa, I didn’t know that April was filled with such hate. No wonder why Jason330 loves it so much.

    August – hot days, grillin’, sleeveless nights at the ballpark, Euro Football starts up again, my b-day, and it’s name is the same as my G-Pop, Dad, Brother and Nephew.

  34. liberalgeek says:
    April 9, 2009 at 10:56 am

    “Chipper Jones – april 24 (Fk the Braves)”

    a. price leaves Thomas Jefferson and David Cassidy off the April berfday list. I wonder why?

    Also Oklahoma city bombing and the battle of Lexington and Concord.

    We liberals need to reoccupy April.

  37. nemski says:
    April 9, 2009 at 11:06 am

    Seriously, David Cassidy? What are you twelve years old?

  38. Von Cracker says:
    April 9, 2009 at 11:11 am

  44. RSmitty says:
    April 9, 2009 at 12:11 pm

    Poor Tom Hanks (and me, now that you mention it).

  45. Another Mike says:
    April 9, 2009 at 12:21 pm

    April: Columbine, Waco, Virginia Tech, Chernobyl, San Francisco earthquake.

    But my first daughter was born in April, as was Pete Rose.

    Of course, August was when Ruby Ridge happened.

    I guess every month has these kinds of contradictions.

  46. MJ says:
    April 9, 2009 at 2:17 pm

    Has to be July. Not only Independence Day, but also my birthday (which is also Rose Kennedy’s and Bob Dole’s). It’s also the day the Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested.

  47. nemski says:
    April 9, 2009 at 9:43 pm

    Ha ha, April bites!

  48. a. price says:
    April 9, 2009 at 9:49 pm

    and on april 10th, 1970, Paul announced the break up of the Beatles
