Total Eclipse of the Moon

The Washington Post is finally scrambling to catch up with journalist and blogger John Gorenfeld. Having previously relegated the Moon Coronation to its gossip column, the Post now reports on it in detail.

Strangely, the headline - "The Rev. Moon Honored at Hill Reception" -- makes it sound as though the reception occurred this week, or over the weekend, instead of three months earlier.

It's interesting to see all the congressmen (none are women, it seems) running for cover, claiming they were bamboozled by Moon. It's a pretty good scam, giving "Crown of Peace" awards so you can be photographed being crowned at the Capitol. But you have to wonder how stupid these lawmakers were to be taken in by such a scam.
