A parody of the Washington DC flag with sandwiches in place of the stripes, in honor of a guy who threw a sub at a CPB agent downtown a few weeks ago, has gone viral and a huge hit with folks in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill. All I could think of, though, was just how toothless and ineffectual my fellow Washingtonians have apparently been in the face of a hostile military occupation; basically, the only response we can muster is to throw sandwiches. No general strikes, student walkouts being proposed or organized anywhere around here? Any disobedience – civil or otherwise – being called around town? Any organizations forming anywhere around here working on plans to make this city ungovernable? Anything at all beyond throwing sandwiches, creating celebratory t-shirt art and posting stupid jokes about it on Facebook? Nope, not seeing anything.

Well, what the hell, then; while I wait for someone to drop an action call who isn’t a freshly minted Democratic Party front – like the “Free DC Project” or those “No Kings” dipshits – here’s something which might be at least a cut or two more provocative than tossing a foot-long for all my “flypasters” out there.

I’m almost embarrassed to have to confess to having gone for the “Democrats need a clear message” horseshit for this long before some kind of metaphorical anvil fell on my head from the top of a metaphorical skyscraper and I suddenly realized that oh, f’crissake, the Democratic Party has been giving me a great big loud-ass and clear message since at least 1996, when Ralph Nader first ran on the Green Party ticket, and that clear message is —

“I was in Austria during the War. I am not programmed to respond in that area.”
— US Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to Chris Hayes, 07.15.2025

If candy-assed, non-committal hemming’n’hawing were an Olympic event — if namby-pamby mealy-mouthing around were an NCAA Division I sport — New York Rep. Hakeem “AIPAC Shakur” Jeffries would be a multiple gold medalist, AND in the top brackets for the Final Four.

“Some may focus on the lows, but behind the efforts of Starship – and other programs like New Glenn, Neutron, Vulcan, Terran, Stoke, etc – is a massive space economy taking shape: tens of thousands of jobs, billions in private investment, all aimed at truly opening the last great frontier.

When these capabilities arrive, they will spearhead a new era of exploration and discovery – and the lows will become a chapter in a much longer story.”

I saw the news of the latest SpaceX Starship explosion with a complete lack of surprise a few days ago, and it had me somehow flashing back to Musk’s performance at that post-Inaugural shindig, and his bluster about putting boots on Mars… and a joyful, iconic moment on the Moon, waaayyyy back when I was an awestruck kid of 15.
