FACT OF THE DAY: The footprints left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts will likely stay there for at least 100 million years because there is no wind or water.
POLITICAL QUOTE OF THE DAY: “A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.”
― Winston Churchill
POLITICAL HAIKU OF THE DAY:
Threats flew with the gulls,
Then drifted back out to sea—
Hormuz shrugs and waits.
