The Joe Biden Straddle

For a long time, I've thought that the Secular Left religion is only devoutly held by a fairly thin strata of society. They're loud and in positions of power, but when push comes to shove, most of the public isn't on board with the crazier aspects of it. Joe Biden's entrance into and current dominance of the Democratic primary race is an indication of that. Plenty of the True Believers are already there, like Kamala and Bernie, but some aging schlub of a career politician with all the fire and vitriol of a graham cracker is leading the pack. That's a big "meh" in the face of the SJWs.

Unfortunately for Sleepy Joe, he's got to genuflect at their altar. I saw a headline recently saying he was in favor of providing medical insurance for illegals. I didn't read the article because I had grass to watch grow, but if that's really his position, he's already finding himself forced to take positions straddling the boat of prog madness and the dock of sanity.

Which could lead to hilarious results.

A religion of the insane, I would say. How else to explain it? Oh, I remember, they think of themselves as young at heart when really they're very young in the intelligence development department. Like the kid who says, 'Mom, When I grow up I want to be a Socialist'. Mom says, 'Well which is it dear? You can't do both'.
Which reminds me, Socialists, Feminists, Progs, the whole gang seem to be severely handicapped in the humor department.

Talking of humor and apologies in advance!
A guy drops a bundle on renting a Rolls Royce Limo. When he takes delivery he discovers the cost didn't include a driver. He says, 'I can't believe it, I spent all that money and have nothing to chauffeur it'.
