Speaking of a Lust for Stupidity

Does the moon weigh as much as 10 boxes?

Now tell us about Mars:

During a 1997 visit to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, Jackson Lee, who was then serving on the House Science Committee and on the Subcommittee that oversees U.S. space policy, asked a guide whether the Mars Pathfinder would be able to show an image of “the flag the astronauts planted there before.” When it was subsequently pointed out that the flag to which she was referring was in fact the one that Neil Armstrong had planted on the Moon—not Mars—in 1969, Jackson Lee complained that she was being mocked by bigots. “You thought you could have fun with a black woman member of the Science Committee,” her then-chief-of-staff wrote angrily in a letter to the editor.

Obviously she misspoke!

The only ones dumber are the ones who voted for her.

Behold, a Marvel in the Darkness*

Democrat scaring constituents to vote for gun control.

I witnessed a miracle this afternoon. To quote my 19-month-old granddaughter, “Wow.”

You may be able to convince yourself that such a perfect alignment of relative sizes and distances is the product of random chance rather than design and order, but the odds of that are so improbable as to be indistinguishable from magical thinking.

At the height of totality, there was a bright red dot @ 195° which I understand could have been either a solar prominence or light making its way through a lunar surface irregularity.

What a show of a lifetime.
