Today's news might reasonably be pre-empted by the story of the Baltimore Ravens kicker who knocked an NFL record 66-yard field goal off the crossbar in Detroit to win the game, crushing Lions fans' hopes for the 3,751st time.
But we do have other news to talk about. This is a big week ahead, with Congress facing three giant fiscal hurdles: 1. A budget to fund the federal government and avert a shutdown; 2. A bill to raise the debt limit and avoid default; 3. A bill on "infrastructure" that will a) cost up to $3.5 trillion and fund Socialism, and/or b) cost $1.2 trillion, mostly not funding real infrastructure.
We also have news on the pandemic: it's here to stay. We live in its world, rather than the other way around. At least that's what the drug companies say.
And the border is still a disaster. When DHS Secretary Mayorkas tells White House reporters that the Haitian migrants are all facing removal proceedings, they all nod sagely and marvel at the wonderful job Biden's doing. For people who live in the real world: "proceedings" mean the same thing as "release."

This week's portion is the last of the month of Av -- also known as Menachem (Comforter) Av -- which begins in mourning and ends in celebration and anticipation of the New Year and the process of repentance and renewal.
In a similar vein, the portion features Moses offering the Israelites a choice between a blessing and a curse. They are masters of their own fates: if they obey God's commandments, they receive the blessings -- and vice versa.
The key commandment is to reject idol worship. There is said to be something magnetic about the practice of worshiping idols in the new land, such that it would be constant moral battle, both individually and collectively, in the land.
Nowadays, according to Jewish tradition, humanity has lost the urge for idol worship (and the antidote, which is divine prophecy) -- but there are several near substitutes, such as lust or excessive appetites for worldly pleasures.
We are wired for compulsive behaviors, bad habits, and even addictions. These ...
