Everyone has considered making Kamala President, they’re just afraid of her doing even worse stuff. The rest of the world knows that Biden isn’t all there, but view Kamala as a scary wildcard.

No, just a bit of a history lesson, like how we got the name “Santa Claus”, because little Dutch kids couldn’t properly say “Sint Niklaas”, instead saying “Sinter Klaas” (and still do), which became Santa Claus in American English.

I don’t think so. One of my ancestors got in trouble with the law in the 1820’s and took his mother’s maiden name (it stuck); his last name was Cassady. The family went through Arkansas. Texas and Oklahoma (1900’s), eventually ending up in California, where I was born 70 years ago.
it reminds me of the old joke: A soldier was traveling by train, in the same compartment as two old women. All he wanted was to sleep, but the women argued about having the window open or closed. "If it’s closed, I’ll suffocate, " said the one. “If it’s open, I’ll freeze,” said the other. The conductor asked the soldier what he wanted. “Open it and freeze the first, then close it and suffocate the other.” was is reply. ;>)
