The Similar Editor:   Could you explain ‘analogy’ for our Democrat readers, LL?

The Simple Cat:   I sure can.   Here is one definition.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/analogy

Consider baseball as America, and the umpires as the media and judges.   The umpire is clearly wrong on the first base call, but nothing is said until the video is viewed.  Everyone knows the umpire made a mistake, but doesn’t want to go against the system.   In short, they push their own beliefs not the law.

Maybe one day incompetent officials will be fired.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Artemis II: Flight Day 6
Image Credit: NASA, Artemis II

Explanation: On flight day 6 (April 6) the Artemis II mission achieved a historic lunar flyby. Rounding the lunar far side, the deep space maneuver marked humanity’s first venture to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972. The Orion spacecraft Integrity reached a maximum distance of nearly 407,000 kilometers, and the Artemis II crew, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, set the record for the farthest distance from Earth traveled by any human since the Apollo 13 crew in 1970. From behind the Moon on flight day 6, a solar array wing camera recorded this space age selfie, framing the spacecraft and lunar far side. Planet Earth, home to the Artemis II crew, is the small, bright crescent beyond the lunar limb. The crew safely returned home on Artemis II mission flight day 10.
