Delaware’s a small state. You’d have thought that by getting rid of Biden, the median political IQ would have increased.

But noooooooo

So Tom, do you think we can build enough windmills off the coast of Guam to keep it from tipping over and capsizing?

I know one of your fellow dems is very worried about that I thought maybe the two of you could put your big giant brains together and come up with a solution to help the poor people of Guam.

I think it’s worth considering.

No electric vehicle has the range to deliver rural mail. More pollution would be generated by people diving miles to get their mail every day.

Sounds like before Tom was elected he wrote children's fairy tales.

Wouldn't the windmills cause it to float around the ocean? Then how do we find it? /s

His first idea was unicorn farts but Biden was able to convince him that unicorns don't fart.

“windmills”
Tom’s right. Or maybe spinach, dog turd or algae powered golf carts that sell ice cream and stamps, too.

About a week ago I saw a bumper sticker on an SUV that read, “Letter Carriers For Obama”.

I thought rural routes were delivered by carriers with their own cars.
