(To the tune of "Sandman" by America.)
Ain’t it sunny outside
All the high school kids abound
Bus not yet curbside
Let’s go stand and wait around
Funny, I was there
And you were nowhere near
What went down was not what you did hear
Cause I understand you bought the story from the man
Who faced down the kid called the Sandmann
He told the lie that caught the media eye
And brought a wave of misunderstaindin’
Ain’t the hours gone by fast
Other video was witnessed
Will the press now ask
Why his tale was inconsistent?
Funny, I was there
And you weren’t nowhere near
What went down was not what you did hear
Cause I understand you bought the story from the man
Who faced down the kid called the Sandmann
He told the lie that caught the media eye
And brought a wave of misunderstaindin’

It's about time I start coming back to my long-neglected blog.
The news of the Covington 54 provided the right inspiration. I call this the Deck of Reckless Accusers. Click the image to enlarge. Note the news crawlers under the images of S. E. Cupp and Joy Reid. The Queen of Spades was the easiest pick.
Update: I corrected some color mismatches, and added a third joker -
they're going after Nathan Phillips.

...except
earthquakes.
A minor earthquake measuring a preliminary 3.4 magnitude rattled a suburban community west of Dallas during the night but there were no immediate reports of any damages or injuries, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The quake struck at 11:05 p.m. CDT Saturday and was centered about 2 miles north of The Dallas suburb of Irving, the survey's national earthquake monitoring center in Golden, Colo., reported. Geophysicist Randy Baldwin told The Associated Press by phone from Colorado that the quake lasted several seconds and was strong enough to have been felt near the epicenter and possibly as far as15 or 20 miles away.
I had just turned on my computer (located in a second-floor bedroom) when the tremor hit. The monitor rocked back and forth an inch to each side for about a second.
