Roll Over, Joe
What shall we find? What are rabbit holes? ~care to take a "deep dive?"
On any given subject, there may be rabbit holes and one may go down into them. For example, Alice went into a rabbit hole. That was one story . . . Well, OK—let’s skip that because, you know —? … ~ rabbit hole!
But what is Biden’s story? What was he doing before he entered politics? My information -which I may have read somewhere like in a magazine -I don’t know -is that he had beginnings as a humble mattress salesman. Of maybe he sold inflatables of some kind; I don’t know. I wasn’t there, but I recall reading the salesman story. That is what I recall. I no longer know where I read it. From the article (if there was one) I learned that Joe Biden was employed as — Um, a salesman of mattresses. But I have heard nothing else about it. So. Obviously, no other person wants to discuss this. That is obviously where rabbit hole can come in. It may just exist, right from this false magazine story. I could “swear” I read it. The info is available, no doubt but, you see, it requires a deep dive or to go into a rabbit hole. So to prove that Biden indeed was a mattress salesman we need, essentially, to go down the hole… Deep hole. ~ deep dive... The terms “deep dive” and “rabbit hole” are similar but “deep dive” is more arrogant—it is designed to show you are perfectly sane. Not “Rabbit hole.”
The latter is more in-sane, containing shades of both Alice in Wonderland and I guess -maybe this is particular to me -the Jefferson Airplane song that mentions “Alice.”
Yeah, that Alice. And in the “today” world, or “today’s world,” or “toady’s world,” the simple truth might be found in a rabbit hole.
Or maybe it could be you are one of those blue robin’s eggs; but, I wouldn’t trust cable news. In that case who is the crazy one? Tell me again—who is insane again?
In our time of today of the US displays certain peculiarites that it shares with totalitarian states. There are certain features of a totalitarian government. Since I have my own situation, I can talk about it without being tainted. For me at least it has been hard to get along with others. I had a difficult time making a living, but I am not corrupt, like the rest of you bastards reading this. No, I know you. And I know myself. I am not in the system. I tried. You said you will not hire me. What can I do. No one can force you to hire me. I had no advocates. The feeling is mutual.
An insane person does not think he or she is insane.
Everybody eats insects. Oh, so you think you are the sane one. Some of the other coes in the barnyard have other opinions.
If you do not think you are insane you are normal; most persons do not think they are insane and this is normal. If you think you are not sane you are not normal.
We still need to find out if Biden was a mattress salesman. Going into this investigation, I have some retail experience. As a young person, back in Oak Park, Ill., my Jewsih family was deranged. Dad was a liberal and Mom not so much. I lived with them until I was eighteen. Right away, I left . I left immediately. My dad ran after me with a box of salt—stupid Jewish custom. This was before I became deranged as well. I was still sane. I was normal; ~ like everyone else. Since my dad regularly hired salesmen for the store when I was young I met some. It was a store like a tire store or a mattress store. Such stores were cutting-edge at one time in lady America’s sweet history. In fact, I remember one guy, one person he hired, had been a tire salesman. A mattress salesman career could be a precedent to some other career; stranger things have happened. So, maybe I read that — maybe I didn’t. Didn’t I read this mattress salesman bit somewhere?
So for some reason I happen to be interested in taking this deep dive or rabbit hole excursion. Did he have a career as a mattress salesman—? ~ and was his interest in mattresses innocent? How many customers did Biden seduce? Or did he become president out of frustration with a failure to seduce any customers so in frustration of htat he went into politics and soon he is doing well instead of good? So, such a rabbit hole is also an excursion into an earlier, possibly more innocent, era.
Biden’s Era. When he sold mattresses. And, understanding that he became a respected senator, we just know that he was innocently interested in mattresses sales. A real American from Delaware, standing in a room full of mattresses, just off the interstate. What made him look towards politics?
Some investigatory guidelines we could follow: How are mattresses and politics related? Who is the guy in bed with? How does one go from mattresses to political interests—bed bugs to political insects so to speak? ~ and what does this have to do with the people of the United States? Does he commit genocide in two place of the earth so that the American people can get a good night’s sleep? So, there are deep political questions involved: in short, to go from mattresses to politics—do you just roll over?
Now, I “dig” Biden because - I mean - he’s da the national president figure. But just what is the story here? So in order to instantiate this detailed investigatory inverstigation and generate an succinct article of critical imagination and journalistic cum scientific integrity and deep “dig” sincerity — all right already—! ~ What did I find out that does not suck?
Using duckduckgo, which I believe is British, I find NOTHING to support the about Biden. In fact, I did not see any job Joe Biden ever had in his life, outside of being on a political track, other than lifeguard. This gig was a lifeguard on the beach, in this case a segregated black beach. Maybe it was a swimming pool. But it was segregated. Was it a beach or a swimming pool? I’ll hold my nose and go back to the search results. [pause]. Okay, that was a swimming pool. So he is a lifeguard at a swimming pool but there is no mattress sales. Also let’s look at the dad in Biden’s life. His dad is interesting. Dad was a high-roller, a business persons, but he crashed and burned after WWII and went back home. There Joe Biene’s dad became an auto salesman. Well, I do not think I shall ever find the article with that idea that I had thought I had read.
Well. What did we learn? What I found was that my idea of Joe Biden was — okay! It was a little off. But I mean what is the FINAL final word—-? ~ but this:
while on spring break in the Bahamas, he met and began dating Neil [error] then president. He dropped his plan to play for the varsity football team,
Huh? That makes no sense!

Well—”The [mattress] job opened opened Biden’s eyes,” according to —me!
“ During college, Biden took a summer job as a lifeguard at a public swimming pool near a housing project. He was the only white lifeguard among a dozen inner-city African Americans who were students at historically Black colleges. The job opened Biden’s eyes to the stark difference in the lives of Black and white Americans: “Every day, it seemed to me, Black people got subtle and not-so-subtle reminders that they did not quite belong in America,” Biden wrote in his memoir. ”

damn — how do I get this Substack gizmo to work? I’ll just have to insinuate my way along, I guess.
Well that’s about all on Biden. I’ll go down in some other rabbit hole next week.
