I don’t think this got much coverage last week, but we have a new political party. It’s called the Forward party. The founders are some notable former Democrats and Republicans.

George Jetson (MM #4148)

We can all agree that some people have too much time on their hands. People have wished famed cartoon character George Jetson a Happy Birthday for the past few days. And when they do, they’re saying that today, July 31, 2022, is the day he is born. Yes, he’s a fictional character from the 1960s,…
