Schroedinger's War

I heard Catherine Rampell use the term "Schroedinger's War". She was talking about the way MAGAs refer to our savaging of Iran.  MAGAs call what is happening there a war and (at the same time) insist that it is not a war. 

The purpose of insisting that we are at war and we are not at war (at the same time) is to illustrate a point in quantum mechanics and, no, it isn't. 


Watching Trump stagger from one diction error to another demonstrates how much his brain has turned into fried noodles.


("Shroedinger's cat" is a famous physics word problem about a cat that is alive and dead at the same time.)
