OK, there’s a funny and accurate bit in this bit of commentary:
Kamala Harris isn’t disliked because she’s a non-white woman; Kamala Harris was chosen as vice president because she’s a non-white woman, and she’s disliked because she has nothing to recommend her beyond those facts. In the highest of high dudgeon, her defenders will propose that this is Joe Biden’s fault, for not “using” Harris correctly in her role. But this too is unjust. In truth, there is no good way to “use” Kamala Harris, because Kamala Harris is a talentless mediocrity whose only political flair is for making things worse than they were before she arrived. (Emphasis added by me.)
Boy howdy, ain’t that the truth.
But what do you expect from a VP selected by a lifelong mediocrity, serial plagiarizer, liar and now dementia-ridden C-lister? And she was selected, honestly, because she has brown skin and a vagina, and no relevant qualifications? We have achieved kakistocracy, True Believers, and the two Janus-like faces it wears are those of President “Groper” Joe Biden and Kamala “Heels-Up” Harris.
And so…

This Week’s Cultural Edification:
There are some artists out there whose politics I can’t abide, but still I listen to their work now and then, because brains and talent don’t necessarily go hand in hand. A good example would be the trio of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash.
Leftists the three of them, but (at least recently) they haven’t been as obnoxiously vocal as some, seemingly content to “shut up and sing.” I like a lot of their work, but my favorite is their 1982 tune Southern Cross. Here is that tune; enjoy.
