Spring Joker

Tis the first day of April - truly, it is. A day when many a person plays little tricks on the unsuspecting. Yes, we call it April Fools Day. Be prepared.....

Oxford English Dictionary has a bit on the use of the phrase April Fool.

This particular use seems most appropriate as we continue slogging through the political process - "c1830 GEN. P. THOMPSON Exerc. (1842) IV. 518 It will be difficult to make April-fools of a whole people that can read and write."

Don't be a Fool, April or otherwise - read!
