Space Force Launches First Mission
The Hill | 03 26 2020
All right! Get the popcorn and pull up a chair!
The U.S. Space Force conducted its first launch Thursday, sending a military communications satellite into orbit.
Wait . . .
A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket blasted the sixth Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite into space from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
what?
“Congrats @ulalaunch on today’s successful launch of #AEHF6—our 1st USSF Nat’l Security Space Launch!” Chief of Space Operations Gen. John Raymond tweeted Thursday, thanking those involved in the project.
Mm-hmm. What else is on?
“For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real,” said Biden during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Social Distance Time
♩♩♪
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Social Distance Crime (“Time”)
Oh, oh, oh
Doing Social Distance time . . .
If you said “gesund” to my “heit”
Panic would ensue from left to right
But what can I do?
Sit by the fire by you?
That hasn’t happened for the longest time.
Once I thought that common sense was gone
While this weary wariness goes on
That’s when you found me
And you put your arms around me:
They haven’t been there for the longest time.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They say it’s wrong this time
Oh, oh, oh
They say it’s wrong but . . .
I’m that guy who’s sipping from a straw
In the greatest bending of the law
But you were so sweet
And now you’re within six feet
That hasn’t happened for the longest time!
Maybe I’ve been cooped up too long
You look so light-headed
I could be wrong.
Maybe we’ve been coping too much
We’ve gone too long;
I long for your touch.
Who knows how much farther we must spread?
I’d get closer contact when I’m dead.
I’ll take my chances
I can’t forget those nice slow dances
We haven’t done that for the longest time.
I had secondary symptoms at the start
I said to myself
“A cold; stay apart.”
But I can’t ignore the woman that you are —
Too wonderful, too far —
And that’s more they can ask for.
I don’t care what consequence it brings
I have run afoul of greater things
I know it’s so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time!

Yeah, I know, it’s not right to laugh about a virus that will kill us all before the week is out. But we don’t care.
I’ll start with a comment that was left yesterday:
All countries are getting the corona virus now. But China got it right off the bat.
Damn Cat
So, now’s your turn. Leave your best sick joke (get it?) in the comments.
