Today is Leap Day, an unusual date on our calendar. Here are a few other unusual things that occurred yesterday that made me ponder cosmic alignments this day.

Caps lose. 

Whoa. That doesn’t happen often. Is it the playoffs already?

Wizards beat Cavs. 

Seriously? Okay, LeBron didn’t play, so it was sort of a gimme, but still.

Hollywood leftists make fun of their own racism. 

Nice job, Hollywood, and kudos, Chris Rock. Way to own the lack of black nominees this year. Jokes came early, jokes came often, and they really never stopped. Having viewed not a single one of the eight movies up for Best Picture this year, and having heard of only scant few of the others up for awards, this was pretty much all I was watching for.

Mission accomplished. Bonus day earned.
