If at first they don’t succeed…

“Democrats know that their current impeachment effort is going to fail. So rather than admit defeat, they’re just going to try again.

“And again.

“And again.

“Grab a Snickers bar, because we’re gonna be doing this for a while… unless they lose their majority.”

Which is to be devoutly wished. But the reckoning is a year away.

Wright brothers

Don Suber on Twitter: “116 years ago today, America’s Wright Brothers flew the first airplane. Within 66 years, America landed a man on the moon. No other nation has in the 50 years since.”

But the winds of Kitty Hawk are blowing in China and India, who are likely to be next. NASA talks about returning, after killing two shuttle crews, but seems happiest with its steady fed funding.

No mention of these white boys’ anniversary on Google’s cartoon, not until a woman or minority is discovered to have participated I suppose.

The Expanse expands

Posted on December 15, 2019 | Comments Off on The Expanse expands

Season 4 is up and running. As usual, with my poor hearing, the story gets less of my attention than the special effects. The show’s claim to being really scientific, however, gets blown up every time we hear a rocket engine burning somewhere or an explosion in space. Really now.

Must not remember the old horror movie poster line: In space, nobody can hear you scream.
