President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

(In the background, a small boy begins to play The Green Leaves of Summer on a harmonica. He s joined by a slightly older child with cauliflower ears and close-set, crossed eyes. He is carrying a homemade banjo. The second child starts to join in on The Green Leaves of Summer, tires of it, and then plays Smoke on the Water. They drop their instruments and begin to fight. From somewhere just out of frame, a woman's voice can be heard. "Y'all get it together 'n play Freebird or I'll give your burgoo to the dogs!")

Shelby Foote steps into the frame.

"What the hell? There was no Bowling Green Massacre. The closest thing to it was the day WKU's football team played a traveling squad of German rugby players. The Germans beat them in a shutout. If this was done right, you would have sent in that godawful bathmat you call a mascot. He needs to be field dressed. I'm done with this nonsense. Is there a place round here where I can get a Shiner and a decent taco? Lordy."
