Notably: Congress adopted the Pledge of Allegiance, that elegant, extended haiku, only on this day in 1942, when it did not yet include the needlessly corruptive words under god. That would happen more than a decade later, as Eisenhower was sharpening the terms of the cold war to contrast his believers with the Soviet’s heathens. In 1988, the first George Bush and Michael Dukakis, during their presidential campaign, got into a debate over whether teachers should require students to recite the pledge. Dukakis did not win–not that debate, not any debate. The pledge is still debated here and there, though after the Ninth Circuit a couple of decades ago deemed mandating its recitation unconstitutional, the Supreme Court reversed, if only to the extent that the words under god are not in violation of the establishment clause. Francis Bellamy had no idea when he penned the original pledge in 1892. Least of all that the words “with liberty and justice for all” remain the most ironic words in American history.

“Perhaps in the world’s destruction it would be possible at last to see how it was made. Oceans, mountains. The ponderous counterspectacle of things ceasing to be. The sweeping waste, hydroptic and coldly secular. The silence.”

–Cormac McCarthy, The Road (2006).
