Mayor Pete was on Morning Joe a little bit ago.

I can't wait to see more of him when he is serving our country in the Biden Administration.

1. Pete was more alert at 7 am than 20 of the other talking heads combined!

Joe must be wondering where he can get some anti-soporific sauce

[R B Garr]

2. He was great!

Agreed about the Biden Administration.

3. To quote Rick in "Casablanca," I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Joe already said Pete reminds him of Beau, and Pete lost his own father in the past year.

In both personal and political terms, I predict the two will form a close, symbiotic relationship.

4. Symbiotic relationships are deemed unhealthy by professionals

since they say that the people in them feed of off each others' worse instincts.

I do agree there will be a close bond between them. I think Joe will seek out Pete's sage wisdom often.

6. And Pete is so smart!

7. There are different types of symbiotic relationships:

[link:https://www.factmonster.com/math-science/biology/plants-animals/animal-partnerships|]

There are three different types of symbiotic relationships: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.

Mutualism: both partners benefit. An example of mutualism is the relationship between the Egyptian plover and the crocodile. In the tropical regions of Africa, the crocodile lies with its mouth open. The plover flies into its mouth and feeds on bits of decaying meat stuck in the crocodile’s teeth. The crocodile does not eat the plover. Instead, he appreciates the dental work. The plover eats a meal and the crocodile gets his teeth cleaned. Coincidentally, the Egyptian plover is also known as the crocodile bird.

Commensalism: only one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. For example, remora fish are very bony and have a dorsal fin (the fin on the back of fish) that acts like a suction cup. Remora fish use this fin to attach themselves to whales, sharks, or rays and eat the scraps their hosts leave behind. The remora fish gets a meal, while its host gets nothing. Selfish, sure, but neither gets hurt.

Parasitism: One organism (the parasite) gains, while the other (the host) suffers. The deer tick is a parasite. It attaches to a warmblooded animal and feeds on its blood. Ticks need blood at every stage of their life cycle. They also carry Lyme disease, an illness that can cause joint damage, heart complications, and kidney problems. The tick benefits from eating the animal's blood. Unfortunately, the animal suffers from the loss of blood and nutrients and may get sick.

Some symbiotic relationships are good for everyone involved. For example, on professional basketball teams, the relationship pairs between each of the players and each of the coaches can be quite positive. Good marriages can also have good symbiotic relationships.

9. Update: Joe has plans for Pete...

...perhaps ambassador to the UN, or as U.S. trade representative.

8. Did you notice how Mayor Pete made clear that he was not...

pressured into quitting?
