Remember the Quebec wildfires that turned the air in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC a murky orange a couple of weeks ago? It hasn't gone away. The smoke was so bad in Montreal today that we couldn't see the skyline, and the sun turned red. If Superman were here, he wouldn't have any powers.
But it's supposed to rain all week, so that might help clear things out. Our paws are crossed.
In the meantime, speaking of supermen, it appears that Vladimir Poutine is not one of them. What really happened in Russia this weekend is about as murky as the air in Montreal. But would any reasonable person argue that it's proof that Vlad is ruling from a position of strength? Is it also kind of scary that a global nuclear power is experiencing such volatility? No and yes.
Scary enough, in fact, that many tweeps were posting their thanks that Joe Biden is in the Oval Office right now, and not Donald Trump. We'd add that it's good to know that Antony Blinken's in charge at the State Department, and not nutcase Mike Pompeo or lightweight Rex Tillerson. See what happens when 81 million of us turn out to sack the Trumpsters? Elections have consequences.
It seems that the Republicans have finally realized that, and they've decided the only way to get back into power is to smear Biden and try to turn his family into the Corleones (or worse). They alternate between questioning Joe's mental capacities and claiming he's an evil mastermind who stages coups in Russia and buries the truth about the Titanic submersible to distract attention from Hunter's woes.
It is all silly, of course — and a miscalculation. Trying to turn Joe Biden into the devil incarnate is counterintuitive. The guy eats ice cream and loves his dogs and family. The actual Biden just doesn't jive with the image that the MAGA crazies want average voters to see. We cats HISS.
