Two thoughts:
Pat Oliphant cartoon, upon the death of Neil Armstrong, the first human to set foot on the Moon.
And this one, with Neil de Grasse Tyson, “We stopped dreaming”:
Oliphant’s cartoon shows a future under Mitt Romney and continued GOP domination of the House and Senate — no more Neil Armstrongs doing peaceful work for NASA, like going to the Moon. Tyson expresses hope for something different.
No, it’s not “time to come inside, Grampaw.” It’s time to vote. Vote for the guys whose budget doesn’t say “America cannot afford to be great anymore, American cannot afford to dream.”
Ha! A third thought:
