News Flash. Invasion of Ukraine, four days in.

My Congressman, an empty suit and human weathervane (and graduate of Wheaton College no less) -- overtly and tacitly complicit in all the various moral and legal outrages perpetrated by his party's Orange leader, and never having in a long political career been detected saying anything that could possibly be interpreted as words uttered by a member of any vertebrate species, initially maintained-- as expected --a careful silence about the invasion of Ukraine and Donald Trump's televised public licking of Vladimir Putin's genitals.

Imagine our surprise when, unexpectedly, some people in his party started blurting out contradictory sentiments, and the Honorable Member's office emitted a careful condemnation of Russian aggression, together with a conjoined expression of regret that the current president is too weak to deter malefactors. We are still recovering from the shock. Not sure if the wind has changed direction or if it was only an errant gust.

So bipartisanship still stops at the water's edge, assuming the Anemoi don't start contradicting one another, and America stands united with the rest of the world against -- Joe Biden, and his cowardly weakness in opposing the evil dictator of Russia.
