This is an eclectic episode to be sure. We start with a review of Wednesday's presidential press conference and center on how Joe Biden sees himself. The folks on the far left are looking for FDR at a time when, in the eyes of our intrepid trio, maybe what America really wants is Dwight Eisenhower.
After the "war," we get the "remembrance..." Sidney Poitier, Peter Bogdanovich, Betty White and, just to liven things up a little, we ask "who would you not mind seeing dead?" Yeah, it's a little bit involuted.

I assume all three of you have this picture blown up so that it can be installed as a mural on the biggest wall in your house/apartment.

The scene of Gene Wilder in blackface is from the movie Silver Streak from 1976, not Stir Crazy from 1980.
I think I liked Silver Streak much more than Stir Crazy.
Silver Streak was directed by Arthur Hiller, former president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Joe Biden couldn't have a successful first year, because a) he's Joe Biden, and b) he's a Democrat.

I can see why y'all named this podcast after the Biden discussion at the start. What was the second choice? "GLoP: Everyone you like is dead."

According to many accounts, two recent wars were started because statements by US representatives indicated to the aggressor that the US would not resist.
In a speech, Secretary of State Dean G. Acheson did not include South Korea in the defensive perimeter against communism. Ambassador April Glaspie told Saddam Hussein that the US had no security commitments to Kuwait. I hope this has not happened a third time.
