For Breaking News, I’ll switch you over to Jim:

Thank you Nancy. I was just reviewing our list of subjects, and I’ve found nothing at all to report. It’s all been done before — nothing newsworthy has surfaced — and it’s really no big surprise. Back to you, Nancy.

But seriously folks. If you could put yourself in Joe Biden’s shoes, you could be a leader in the new “newsworthy.” Because Biden has to create an entire federal government, staffed and funded, before he becomes old and senile. And he’s fully capable of doing that job — it’s old hat to him. Given a couple of years he’ll be able to hand off to Vice President Harris, who is extremely competent and fierce in her own ways.

It’s a story of hope and of true grit. And what else is there to report on? Even donny trump has become boring. And the media, look at The Guardian, they don’t actually have anything that’s fit to print. The Atlantic, yes. They have some geniuses up in their attic, and interestingly, these geniuses know Biden’s history and assure us that he’s more than up to the tasks he faces.

As for me, I’m just an observer. I’m an American expat living in Panama, more fascinated with my own rural and fairly primitive life, and trying to figure out my neighbors and their pets, cars, and children. And looking for a wife — not one of my best skills, that’s for sure. Well luckily Spanish is a great language for wife-hunting. I can say “I’d love to meet somebody” with a 3-word string in Spanish that would offend nobody!
