The "Stop Punching Yourself" Omnibus of 2018 continues to grow.  It's been an odd experience tallying up the damage--large and small, humorous and horrifying--for which the bill will eventually come due.  It's almost up to Section 1, subsection AAA at this point, but I don't think I've seen any of the items in actual legislation form so far this year.

Two other things:

• This song, Jon Baptiste's cover of  "What a Wonderful World," captures the uneasy hope of 2018.  
• This article ought to be required reading for people attached to Congressional Debate.
