Joe Biden
…reminds us to buy guns and ammunition.
Joe and Barack are the greatest gun salesmen in history.

Congratulations To All The Dads
…who are better fathers than Joe and Hunter Biden.
That’s most of them, probably.
[Father’s Day morning update]
Hunter Biden is his father’s son.

Link is fixed now, sorry.
How To Fix Higher Ed
Yes, the notion that everyone should get a college degree has been tremendously destructive.

Gee, seems to me that the question answers itself.
