🌓"To the Moon” Edition
This week, while America was busy arguing over mail ballots, bombing deadlines, ICE at airports, suspiciously timed stock trades, and whether the attorney general got fired because of Jeffrey Epstein or just because it was Thursday, NASA quietly launched Artemis II toward the moon.
It was a useful reminder that once upon a time this country could point itself toward the heavens instead of spending every waking hour screaming at itself on cable news and Truth Social. Back then, Americans looked up at the moon and thought, “We should go there.” Now, we have a president who habitually moons his critics, the judiciary branch, the Constitution, the Geneva Conventions, NATO, and anyone who notices his bad spray tan.
The Artemis astronauts may be the luckiest people in America right now. They get to spend days floating peacefully through space, blissfully out of range of campaign ads, congressional hearings, and presidential threats to bomb bridges by Tuesday night at 8 p.m. Eastern.
Frankly, if they happen to glance back toward Earth and decide to keep going, nobody could blame them.

As usual, all are superb, but Goris might have the winner this morning. The only quibble is that Chump should have been head rather than ass down.
President Trump, as a faux Moses, was the best of a great selection this morning. But the "Father forgive them..." was so spot on.
