I never thought I'd see

A worse President in my lifetime than Richard Milhouse Nixon. But he actually did some good stuff. He signed the Environmental Protection Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, for example.
Then we got stuck with George W. Bush. I thought he was the absolute limit. But he actually did some good things. He created the Hawaiian Islands Marine Wildlife Sanctuary, for example.
I truly hope and pray that 45 is the worst President this republic will ever have.
But I won't hold my breath.

Belgian astronomers name planetary system after beer

I find it especially interesting that one of the planets in the system "Trappist 1" is named "Spencer", after the Trappist ales brewed in Spencer, Massachusetts. http://spencerbrewery.com/

Remember when the GOP hated the Russians?

My, how things have changed.
