It's been a historic day, one that will be recorded in history, for better or for worse. After John Lewis' impassioned speech to Congress and Nacy Pelosi's press conference this afternoon, Congress is apparently finally (finally!) moving forward with impeachment hearings against our so-called "president." Before the Republican gas-lighting totally obfuscates the issue and convinces the public that this isn't about the "president" at all but about Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, you might want to read this reporting on Hunter Biden that appeared in The New Yorker in July of this year.
But before all that drama sucks the oxygen out of the news cycle, let's take a moment to recognize Greta Thunberg's dramatic and emotional testimony to the United Nations. I'm not sure which is more disturbing - Thunberg's apocalyptic warnings, or the vacuous UN audience clapping and cheering as if it wasn't precisely them that she was condemning.
"We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth - how dare you!"
If you aren't moved by this brief speech, you should examine what's wrong with your heart.
On top of all that, sadly, veteran character actor and American treasure Sid Haig passed away yesterday
Good night, sweet prince.
