The News Is Chock Full Of Good Humor.

       There are some odd things happening in the news lately. I'm beginning to wonder if the moon is somehow stuck in it's full phase. Like the North Carolina's legislature that decided to change it's climate change study in order to please some beachfront property owners that I mentioned in a previous entry. I didn't realize reversing global warming could be so easy.
       Then there's the Colorado Senate race in which the challenger, who has been an ardent right to life adherent who believes that life begins at fertilization as does that life's rights to life, has suddenly changed his mind and has decided that, I'm not sure what he's decided? Does he believe that the life begins but doesn't qualify for citizenship yet, or if he believes that life doesn't begin quite that soon. Ya see, Colorado has voted twice by a wide margin that life rights do not begin at conception. Problem is, this challenger was one of the sponsors of the failed bills.
       Then there's the case of the Oklahoma challenger to a 20 year veteran of the U.S. House. The challenger  is claiming the incumbent is a Body Double or a Robot and that therefore all his votes should be turned over to the challenger. And this was a close race. The incumbent won with an 82% plurality. It seems the challenger in this primary race is convinced that the incumbent was killed in the Ukraine a couple of years ago. But somebody used his DNA to build the double/robot.
       Then there's Speaker John Boehner who has decided to sue President Obama over taking executive actions. But since the President has taken far fewer actions than most other Presidents, we're not sure if the suit finds fault for taking too few or too many actions. Or is, as many are suggesting, it's simply a trial run for an impeachment. Either way, so far as I'm aware, it's the first time a Speaker has sued a President. And it's one of the first actions the Speaker has performed in some considerable time. I wonder why the President hasn't considered a countersuit for non-action.
