Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, suggested at a congressional hearing that climate change could be combatted by altering the orbit of the moon and asked a U.S. Forest Service official whether there was any way the agency could do it.

Eberlien responded, smiling, "I would have to follow up with you on that one, Mr. Gohmert."

Has Bruce Willis got a ragtag bunch of misfits together to take on the mission which has a 10 billion to one chance to succeed?

He's gonna need a drunk, a womaniser, a gambler, a smart, pretty but ignored female scientist, a large fella who is slightly dim but good in a fight and loves his mom, a token BAME and a hero...hang on the hero is gonna be Willis...

...unless there's last minute plot twist where Willis sacrifices himself and then the womaniser finally comes good to make sure the mission is a success thanks to the last minute calculations of the female scientist. He brings the team home in one piece and then spends the next few months sleeping with hundreds of women supplied by the U.S. Forest Service (female scientist gets to go first).

Then it turns out the gambler put a sneaky bet on the team succeeding and wins enough money to cancel the entire U.S. debt.

Then after the credits finish rolling, the screen fades to reveal Willis...amazingly still alive but in a bit of a pickle as he is spinning aimlessly in space with just a 24 hour food ration kit to keep him going, plus a screwdriver and some tin foil.

This is how movies franchises are born!

Coming to a movie theatre near you this fall, Fool's Moon. Oh yeah, Willis' character's surname is Fool. Sounds like Full. Sometimes these gags write themselves.

Followed by Fool's Moon 2 - Rescue Mission (working title).

And they say the movie business is running out of ideas!

ETA. I clicked on the link for the statement to see whether it was taken unfairly out of context. It's not - too many paragraphs of saying that there should be no regulation or restriction of guns but everyone needs to be responsible about keeping all guns out of the hands of juveniles and it's not their responsibility if they make a gun that happens to look exactly like a toy, it's the responsibility of the gun owners. They were just trying to bring some fun and whimsy to guns and it's really upsetting to them that people (liberals) keep trying to act like they're being outrageous and spreading their marketing material virally over the internet. Next week, a gun that's designed to look like a baby rattle, to celebrate the second amendment and the glorious freedoms that it allows, please don't share it and our brand everywhere as that's not our strategy for marketing to MAGA douches who think you're trying to cancel guns.

The police will of course love that. Now they run the risk of being shot by something that looks like a kids toy. And of course when they come across someone acting like a prat with a water pistol the outcome is likely to be bad.

The gun ownership debate is too far gone even for ridicule.

Men shot by Kyle Rittenhouse cannot be called ‘victims’ in court, judge rules
But defense attorneys may call them ‘arsonists’ or ‘looters’ judge says ahead of contentious trial over fatal shooting of two men

The people shot by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last August cannot be referred to as “victims” by prosecutors in court, a judge ruled on Monday.

Defense attorneys may, however, call them “arsonists” or “looters”, the judge said
