The "Complete Ignorance of 20th Century History" Award

Kathryn Jean Lopez really shined yesterday, so she gets the "Complete Ignorance of 20th Century History" Award this year!

I CERTAINLY KNOW LIFE DIDN'T BEGIN IN THE FALL OF 2001, BUT...
Am I wrong to be justifiably uncomfortable with the Hiroshima headline in the Washington Post today? "The Original Ground Zero." Anyone who's lived in America in the past few years knows what "Ground Zero" conjures up. What we dropped in Japan is such a complicated question. What was done to us on 9/11/01 has no reasonable-people-can-disagree justification. I am pretty sure I am reading way too much into that Post headline, but it left me feeling like it should have been written some other way.
