Redemption Tour

 it's Friday and I've been doing things various and sundry.  So, it's Friday afternoon and I have lit the smoking lamp and poured myself a beverage. Watching the news, I see that Joe Biden (may he rest in peace) was on The View yesterday, launching a redemption tour. Trying to make his reputation less miserable than it is right now.  And doing himself no favors.

A buddy asked me about it earlier today and the answer is simple.  He's broke. The Biden family for years has depended on Joe (may he rest in peace) for money.  Huge cash grabs based on access to a US Senator, or a US Vice President, or a President. That is over now.  As soon as he signed the pardons, his cash flow dried up. They made millions of dollars, but Hunter either sucked it up his nose, or blew it oh hookers.  It's gone. Joe (may he rest in peace) draws a pension now.  A princely sum, I'm sure, but for a man used to the luxury of graft, it is a meager stipend.  

The rumor is that someone is going to give him a $3 million book deal, and that would be throwing money away.  No one is going to read that thing. Any publisher that would give Joe (may he rest in peace) any money is hurling cash into the abyss.

There are a couple of books coming out in the next few weeks that will shed some light on the Biden presidency.  Tell-all books about corruption and dementia. I won't buy those books, either.  the journalists telling these tales should have been telling them all along.  Now, they simply seem as vultures, feeding from a moldering corpse. If these journalists (I'm talking to you, Jake Tapper_ these stories would have been told shortly after the Easter Bunny saved Joe from the crowd.
