Considering Idaho had to send COVID cases to just about every neighboring state because they could not handle it themselves, I think it less a &quot;dempanic&quot; and more a complete failure of conservative governance...</description>

		<description>Joshua,

&lt;i&gt;So [YES], I&#039;m sure a more political speaking politician would have hedged more. But that wouldn&#039;t necessarily have played better with the voting public.&lt;/i&gt;

If I trace my admiration for Biden back to its origins, I am sure - absolutely, positively, unequivocally - that it dates back to the Iran-Contra hearings in 1987 and his plain speaking contributions. Those hearings also mark the beginnings of my interest in US foreign policy.

Biden was running for president for the first time during those days when I first became aware of how asinine media coverage could be - of the hearings and of Biden. After watching much of those hearings and then reading about it in the newspapers and watching broadcast news, it seemed to me, at times, that the media, in general, were watching some whole other committee hearings! Thus began my healthy skepticism of the mainstream media and my thirst for a wide variety of sources whenever I wanted to know more about an issue. That was the first lesson that Biden taught me. :)

The media storyline on Biden could always be described as asinine, with a few notable exceptions, of course! Which explains, I think, why the perception of Biden by the American people has been so very warped over the years and decades.</description>

		<description>CRS,

That was a nice play on words and letters but, it always seemed to me to be quite a disrespectful take on the Pandemic, on those who died and on those who fought like Hell and risked their own lives to keep their fellow human beings alive, whether in countries like the US or in much harder places to survive during the best of times.</description>

		<description>The song that popped into my head was PRiSM&#039;s (and Jim Vallance&#039;s aka Rodney Higgs&#039;s) It&#039;s Over, naturally.

But, I would have to agree that Yes tune&#039;s lyrics are better for the occasion of the Pandemic phase of Covid being over.

Which reminds me, I have something special planned for my part of this Sunday evening&#039;s festivities ... a celebration of a couple or three artists whose lives have been intertwined over the last half century or so.

And, here is a special treat for a stormy Wednesday I just stumbled upon ...

		<description>I realize life in the big cities and coastal population centers bears little relation to life in big tater country, but I&#039;ve maintained from the git-go that the very word itself was a mispronunciation.  We NEVER HAD a &quot;pandemic&quot;. around here. What it actually was was a Dempanic!!</description>

		<description>The best thing about Joe Biden is that he says what he means. The worst part about Joe Biden is that he means what he says. 

Heh.

It&#039;s just one of the reasons why I have always loved Joe Biden so much.</description>

		<description>This is why politicians tend to be very precise and measured in their wording. It&#039;s also why people tend to rebel against politicians and their wording. Joe is in many ways an anti-trump, but one of the most important ways is that he speaks plainly, in spite of the cost of doing so.

So yes, I&#039;m sure a more political speaking politician would have hedged more. But that wouldn&#039;t necessarily have played better with the voting public.</description>

		<description>I subscribe to both WaPo and NYT, and both dumped hard on  Joe&#039;s &lt;i&gt;first four words.&lt;/i&gt; I felt like they were treating me like I&#039;m some kind of idiot. 



You performed a service in today&#039;s column, pointing out what MSM failed to acknowledge. Good job, CW!</description>
