Bureacracy story: I had a great-uncle by marriage, who died at home as he wished. After he was declared deceased, his widow called either the funeral home or however he was going to be transported there. As she was listening to the person on the other end of the phone, she started laughing hysterically and yelled "But he's DEAD!" We all stared at her, worriedly. When she hung up, she said, "They told me to make sure he had his insurance card."
DMV-bureaucracy: I received my California driver’s license in 1974 when I was 17 years old. Due to a congenital cataract I am legally blind in one eye, so I needed an ophthalmologist’s note saying I was blind in one eye, and CA granted me a license. Fast forward 45 years. I had lived outside CA since graduating from college, but weirdly I remembered my CA DL number. So, when I moved back to CA, when it came to the vision test, there was an exemption to needing the doctor’s note if you had “ever” had a CA DL. I thought “great!” So, I told the DMV person, yes, I had previously had a CA DL and here is the number: Xxxxxxx. So, he looked it up in the computer, and told me, “Sorry, our records don’t go back to 1974, so, not only do you need a doctor’s note, you need to take the behind the wheel driving test. The first slot open is December 15” (it was September 5). (Ended up passing the test with an almost perfect score, except for something regarding the rule for right turns where a bike lane is, that I don’t think is in the CA driver’s handbook.)
Are there any Republicans in Congress that do not work for Russia or its supporters?
I suspect so, but I never read about them. Or is anyone that Biden does not like an automatic friend to the Republicans? Either way - it IS despicable to me.
Is it just me or, does there appear to be some kind of cosmic disconnect between the House of Manteuffel-Weingarten (similar in principle here to the House of Usher) and the infernal combustion machine ? May I suggest, in future, you guys hire a couple of palanquins carried by off-duty cops or better still, considering the traffic, get yourselves a pair of elephants with mahouts and howdahs. Slower, but under the circumstances, surer.

Those of us who shed the WaPo in disgust need gifted articles, if you can give them. :)

Excellent, thank you!
