Would you please help a caffeine and sleep deprived fellow DUer with who the other two are.

(Carnac! Ha! I haven't thought of Carson's bit in many years. I was just thinking it sounded like a Jeopardy answer. :-D )

a good punch line.

Maybe Trump winken - "I won"

Biden appoints Blinken SOS

and the Nod is GSA Emily allowing the 'transition' to proceed.

I'm sure we have some witty DU'ers here that can come up with something funnier.

then my foggy brain took.

I thought Joe had nominated not just Blinken but a Winken and a Nod for top positions. It would have been an awesome subtle and humorous dig at Trump who likes to call Joe 'Sleepy Joe' since those characters are from a nursery rhyme about going to sleep.

I did mention I'm deprav...umm.. deprived so my odd sense of humour isn't as under control as normal.

We need to be more creative and answer like Carnac would.

Where's Carson when we need him?
