Wasn’t that nice? We all had a pleasant experience together. The solar eclipse was partially visible from 49 U.S. states yesterday, with 15 of those being in the “path of totality”. David Waldman made his eclipse encounter extra exciting by also viewing missile launches at the slightly forebodingly named Wallops Flight Facility. No one, not even Fox could ruin the moment, although Marjorie Taylor Greene really, really tried.

Joan McCarter, out west with many natural wonders, wasn’t so impressed with the eclipse, or with Marge Greene either. Mike Johnson wants to be Marge’s friend oh so much, but nothing works, not even letting her run the sham impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, which Moscow Marjorie will no doubt gavel in using the butt of a handgun. (Mike has spent his entire House “Leadership” waiting for Ukraine to die, but no such deal for him.) The rest of her Gop comrades do nothing, just like they have for months, waiting for marching orders on abortion and IVF… at least orders that they can repeat with a straight face.

Meanwhile, even as the hounds close in on fugitive from justice Donald Trump, he continues to lure more into his life of crime. Trump’s $175 million bond makes no sense, unless you view it as his accomplices’ covering fire while he continues to make his escape.

Have you heard about the Kaspereks? The Lowes Island Kaspereks? It seems that they ran into a bit of trouble about January 6.
