A "red letter" day! The junior Senator from PA is awarded MDDOW.

PA's junior senator is Dave McCormick (R), and he definitely has not been given the award.

But "Fetterman receives yet another Most Disappointing Democrat Of The Week award."? I check the newest FTP each Saturday morning, and don't recall CW being previously "disappointed" with Fetterman - no matter how many times he voted with the Republicans, denounced Democrats on Faux News, etc.

Fetterman received it not long ago and for the same reason:

The advanced nanobubbler technology very effectively killed the algae that has plagued every Lincoln Reflecting Pool reopening -- most infamously Obama's reopening -- since 1922. The Reflecting Pool water is crystal clear, and our National Park Service team is now vacuuming up the dead algae resting on the bottom of some parts of the Reflecting Pool -- just like the destroyed Iranian Navy resting on the bottom of the Persian Gulf.

Called a friend in the DC area (the day this was posted) who went to the Reflecting Pool to confirm the validity of the statement; he phoned me back laughing at the "greenish toxic glowing goo" he personally witnessed. How to evade being arrested for vandalism. *laughs*

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

~ George Orwell, 1984

If the algae resting on the bottom of the Reflecting Pool was actually dead (as reported), if it wasn't completely removed, it will rot and release phosphates back into the water and serve as fertilizer for new algae bloom. If any of the algae is alive, it will multiply rapidly with sunshine and the heat issue worsened by the absorbed wavelengths of light exacerbated by the Orange Imbecile who foolishly decided to paint it dark blue.
