    Chuckle for the day

    From my daily briefing:

    Here’s Biden’s response to aides who use overly academic or elitist language: “Pick up your phone, call your mother, read her what you just told me,” he likes to say. “If she understands, we can keep talking.”

    "Political extremism involves two prime ingredients: an excessively simple diagnosis of the world's ills, and a conviction that there are identifiable villains back of it all." ---John W. Gardner

    Just because biden hasn't the brains to pour piss out of a boot is no indication that the rest of us have to have our news dumbed down .

    Out of a boot "with the directions on the heel and a hole in the toe", was how I learned it.

    I recall my time in USDA lending to farmers. They might not know how to model international balance of payments but they sure knew BS when they smelled it. I quickly learned that plain talk was what they wanted. So that's what I did.
