President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

My regular golf partners spend a great deal of time bitching about the town board of selectpersons. When I am bored enough, I always say, "well, you guys are all qualified, you could run." The reaction is always stark horror, and a hole or two later, the admission, "we're lucky anybody will do it."

 

If memory serves, Wisconsin was a pretty long holdout in lowering the DWI rate to .08 BAC, but finally relented over federal funding issues. Anyone better versed in Badger can correct me.

 

Louisiana lost highway funding until 1996 because its drinking age was 18.

 

Federal highway funds were used as the hammer nationwide (with only a few holdouts) in the late 70s to force states to raise the drinking age back up to 21 after it had been lowered to 18 in 1972.


Of course if they were really worried about traffic safety (the public rationale), they would raise the age to 27 (actuarial figures show a dramatic dropoff in accident rates after age 26, when humans reach emotional and intellectual "maturity"). Haven't heard anybody propose THAT.

 

I'm sure the deep-thinking Rogan will now understand the error of his ways, and that he's not been truthful to his faithful maga listeners.

Or, he'll continue to be grifting huckster, spewing lies for profit. Also: fuck that guy.

 

SNL should do a sketch: the Joe Biden Podcast where the President's guests are a bunch of UFC assclowns or British dudes rambling about ancient megaliths.

 

Couldn't be any funnier than Will Ferrell as Harry Caray asking Jeff Goldblum if he would eat the moon if it were made of ribs.

 

More cowbell!

 

Well, we know who is playing Boss Hogg? Who plays Rosco? Stephen Miller?

 

Not practical at all, though. The young work force needs to get to work.

 

Jeff Goldblum will eat anything if the camera stays tight on him for at least 20 seconds. I think it's Item 7(b) in his personal contract.
