Does Joe Biden have plantar fasciitis and hemorrhoids?

Some are saying so, and think that will essentially keep him from competing with younger, more vigorous candidates for the Democratic nomination. "Those are ailments of old people," one observer said. "We need a youthful, vital candidate in 2020!"

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

Anyone brave enough to wear bell bottoms has my vote!

I remember an Uncle of mine whoo was really hot stuff! You should have seen his Zoot Suit pants. Pegged so tightly at the bottom he had to take his shoes off to get them on. He also had the big swinging watch chain,too! That was real class back then.

Of course there was the change from short dresses to the New Look. Spent the summer with Grandparents and that Uncle. Came home with my New Look dress. All 9 yards in the skirt. My friends wondered what I had on. Within a month they all had one. Fashion is funny.
