OLDSTER


My dog Baby is no longer a baby. She’s getting old, and can no longer do many of the things she used to be able to do. But Baby is still her essential self - affectionate, spirited, and wildly entertaining. The perfect companion. She trots on the beach, barks her head off at kids and senior citizens daring to walk on her sidewalk, and she always welcomes me home as if I’d just returned from war. Even with her diminishing physicality, which I share, she remains a dear soul.

Joe Biden is a lot like Baby, the main difference being that Baby isn’t the most powerful being in the free world, just in our house. Uncle Joe’s debate performance was heartbreaking; he appeared feeble and in a kind of fog much of the time. The world had to watch him go up against an unchecked, maniacal, congenital liar who, if elected could very possibly lay waste to our country, envy of the planet for almost 250 years. Now, Biden’s party is debating whether he should continue to run or step aside. He has proven to be an excellent president, especially given the rabid and rancid Republican opposition, but at the debate, Uncle Joe didn’t just have a cold, he had an old. 

If Baby could talk, like the dog in my new book HOUNDED: A LOVE STORY, and had she been the debater, Trump would have been chewed into a million pieces of orange.
