The Prez and the Veep seem to be constantly auditioning for a gig at a comedy club with an act channelling the nonsensical comedy of Abbott and Costello and the comedic timing of the Smothers Brothers. Hardly a waking hour goes by without one of these two saying something so outlandishly ignorant, out of touch, or just plain random that we can only assume this is an attempt at humor. Or it could just be a delightful blend of senility and stupidity playing off one another. Regardless, it IS funny. Until it isn't.
Recently the laughs were replaced with knowing nods. The Veep, while attempting to spin some word salad, actually hit the nail on the head. And it is all about climate change. You know, the kind that is caused by human activity. The Veep gave voice to what should be an obvious truth: the way to reduce climate change caused by human activity is to reduce human activity and the most effective way to do that is reduce the number of humans. She is only the second world leader, next to Putin, to recognize this truth. Perhaps when she becomes president, which is all but guaranteed in the early days of 2025 should Biden win, she will join with Putin in achieving their shared commitment to addressing climate change.
One has to wonder if she knows the obvious truth about how to eliminate school shootings and is simply sitting on it. Maybe one day we'll know.
