A lighthearted look at news of the day
NASA is planning to send a probe to the sun. I know what you're thinking, but don't worry. To keep it from burning up, they plan to send it at night.
---
Also, scientists will slather the probe in sunscreen, SPF 1 million.
---
The president reportedly wished NASA well, reminding scientists, "We have nothing to fear but covfefe itself."
---
"Covfefe" is a word President Trump seemed to invent this week for no apparent reason. In the middle of the night, he tweeted, “Despite the constant negative press covfefe.” As far as anyone can tell, the correct meaning of this word is, "My sleeping pill just took effect."
---
This is no big deal, right? I mean, presidents are always coining new expressions. Eisenhower gave us the "military industrial complex," Lincoln gave us the "better angels of our nature" and Teddy Roosevelt gave us the "bully pulpit." Of course, it is a bit concerning that the best the 21st century has had to offer so far is George W. Bush's "misunderestimated" and Trump's nonsense word.
---
American military leaders were just relieved to learn covfefe isn't a word in Russian, either, although a special prosecutor soon may be investigating this.
---
President Trump shocked national security experts by giving world leaders his cell phone number and telling them to call him anytime. Hey, what's the worst that can happen? Next, the president reportedly will put the White House on a party line to save money.
---
More than 20 people have signed up to run in the special election for Utah's third congressional district. You may think that's plenty, but yet another candidate has sued because he was out of the country and the state wouldn't allow him to sign up via Skype. As a clerical matter, it may be easier just to make the people of the district register if they aren't running.
