Evergreen! You're probably too young for the Mumia Abu-Jamal commencement speech, aren't you? Well, well, the university of the woke before woke was a thing.

According to the Chaldean numerology for "Archduke Ferdinand," the name equals "aggression...influenced by the qualities of Mars." We can be sure this is correct because it comes from a website that was the top Google result. Definitely no small sample size problem, there.

I saw John Oliver at the DC Improv back in 2011, so there's a good chance I saw your life-changing set there, too. Did you have a joke about there being no justice in the world because Newt Gingrich had been married several times (something to that effect)?

Those who don't want Biden to run in 2024 should, at the same time, give us a name who should be the nominee.

I could endorse that choice. I was impressed with him during his presidential primary run and have been even more impressed with him as cabinet secretary. The guy is smart, nice, and has common sense. The fact that he’s willing to go on Fox News regularly shows that he can engage the other side with both wit and humor. And either he or Amy Klobuchar would have been better VP choices than Kamala Harris. It’s unfortunate that the 2020 political climate was such that Biden really had to choose her over better qualified candidates.

Hey, wait a minute, mister! I think that joke included an exaggeration or fabrication with humorous intent, possibly. Shenanigans!
