It was 56 years ago today Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon — a worldwide event that millions tuned into, including me and my brother (even if I did fall asleep). It’s a big reason we became astronauts and a great example of what our country can do when we work together.

This framing continues to bother me. A lot. Competitive balance in college sports has always been distorted by resources and revenue. The richest schools have always had an advantage by paying coaches,building facilities. But now, when it’s about paying athletes, it’s a problem.

To recap: * They took $1b out of DC's budget * They promised to restore it * They never did *They gutted the National Park Service * They called in the National Guard from a number of states to combat crime * The guard is doing custodial work that DC and NPS usually do
