  1. OK, this isn’t about politics directly, but I suspect many on this site would still be interested in knowing more about the one person who may be responsible for the most impact on our planet in the last decade (spoiler alert — I’m not talking about Trump or Putin).

    Elon Musk — inside the mind of a truly bizarre man

    Now at least we know what drives him — his desire to enable interplanetary travel so that when the Earth is destroyed, Humanity (or at least his progeny) will live on.

    1. The PayPal Mafia (from Wikipedia)

      Individuals whom the media refers to as members of the PayPal Mafia include:[5][4]

    2. I wish Musk were only the supervillain character in a sci-fi space opera. But readers would think he was too over-the-top.

      Unfortunately, the antisocial megalomaniac  who owns two global communications platforms, controls a satellite network and a space exploration company, among other assets, is real. 

      1. And so far it is in no way clear that our government wants to take him on in his "tinkering" with the war in Ukraine (i.e. the allegation that he refuses to enable his satellites for communications Ukraine needs in their battle with Putin).

  2. Ken Buck slams GOP House colleagues in WaPo op-Ed for evidence-free impeachment probe. How did Buck become the conscience of his mostly conscience-free caucus? 
     

    Opinion | My fellow Republicans: One disgraceful impeachment doesn’t deserve another

    Republicans in the House who are itching for an impeachment are relying on an imagined history. Their inquiry, formally announced by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Tuesday, rests heavily on a fictitious version of Shokin’s career, with the alleged investigation of Burisma at the center. It’s a neat story, and one that performs well in certain media circles. But impeachment is a serious matter and should have a foundation of rock-solid facts.

    1. Ken Buck is smart, has usually thought things through, and tends to speak his mind. I appreciate that in him.

      Yes he's a politician and he's conservative so plenty here will get down on him for not matching their ideal of perfection. 

      I think he generally is a positive actor in D.C. who tries to do what he thinks is best. So kudos to him.

        1. Agree, LB. Good for him. I've no doubt many Republican Congresscritters will throw rocks at him for this piece. I disagree with him about The Yam's impeachments, but he's mostly right.
