6/27/20: Vice President Pence said yesterday that we had flattened the curve in
this country.
I was so excited I checked the Saturday
numbers. I wanted to tell everyone I knew we could go to a bar and celebrate…
WTF!
We had:
44,703 more
cases.
That broke the “old” record, set Friday.
Guess I’ll have to stay home and keep drinking alone.
POSTSCRIPT: On Monday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) offers up the opinion that Wyoming
(with a population of 576,851) deserves to be a state and have two U.S. senators. Whereas Washington
D.C. (with a population of 689,545) does not. If his math seems odd, his
explanation smells of racism. Wyoming – predominantly white – is “a well-rounded
working-class state,” Sen. Cotton exclaims. Wyoming has more miners, and
loggers, and factory workers. (This blogger is surprised he didn’t cite “more
cowboys.”)
D.C. – with a predominantly black population
– well, they hardly have any loggers! Maybe even zero! And we all know how much
the Founding Fathers talked about loggers and voting.
Democrats, Cotton warns, want D.C. to become
a state and have two U.S. senators because they want to “rig the rule of our
democracy.”
It is probably a good thing that Sen. Cotton
was not representing the State of Arkansas in 1870. It’s more than likely he
would have been against the Fifteenth Amendment, which gave African Americans
the right to vote.
Wyoming gets to be a state because - more cowboys! |
