Biden's Been Busy - Writing a Book

PPPS (Rehobeth Beach, MD) — With all of the focus these days on President Trump's reckless war on Iran, our economy and our democracy, former President Joe Biden has been surprisingly quiet. So, we sent a crack crew of reporters to Rehobeth Beach, Maryland to find out how Joe has been spending his first year in retirement.

Apparently, President Biden has not just been reclining in a beach chair or riding a bike among the dunes near his Rehobeth Beach vacation home.

Instead, Joe's been busy writing a book!

Naturally, we assumed the book would be about Biden's successful term as President or a lengthy memoir documenting his long political career in DC. Our staff even speculated that the book might be of a more personal nature, a compelling story about his wonderful family, or about some hobby he has taken up in retirement, à la President George W. Bush and his portrait paintings. 

Through exhaustive research and contacts with numerous anonymous sources, our PPPS team of investigative journalists has revealed that Biden's book will actually be on a business topic, a guide so-to-speak for aspiring entrepreneurs, using Biden's own family business success as a model.

In a PPPS exclusive, we have obtained a preliminary copy of the cover design for the book, to be titled Plausible Deniability - How to succeed in family business without really trying.

To quote a spokesperson for the publisher, "President Biden chose not to write the usual self-promoting memoir about his presidency or political career. As the most successful one-term president in American history, his record speaks for itself and is already well-documented. Instead, he chose to continue in his service to our country by illustrating a pathway by which others may achieve their American dream." 

President Biden, because of his exhaustive schedule in retirement, complicated by his heroic battle with health issues, agreed to partner with a ghost writer on the book project. Our research indicates that the name of the ghost writer is Otto Penn, rumored to have previously worked at the White House assisting in the drafting of Biden's numerous executive orders.

In the course of research for this exclusive story, our reporters were unable to personally interview any of the Biden family. However, son Hunter, upon hearing of our investigations, challenged one of our reporters to a sword duel in a post on X.

President Biden's book is scheduled for release this summer.

Rethinking Biden's Speech

PPPS (Littleton)—In our previous blog post, our staff may have come off as enthusiastically endorsing President Biden's healing "Soul of America" speech in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia. 

Upon reflection, and after reading several polls on the public reaction to the speech, along with hundreds of readers' comments, most of which we had to delete, we asked our Religion Editor, Pious Pete, to engage in a bit of soul searching on the topic. 

Here was his conclusion in the form of a revised meme.

Please note that PPPS does not engage in religious interpretations of political events and that suggested interpretations from readers, including numerous references to dictators (specifically Musolini and Hitler), tyrants, demons, fascism, terrorism, thugs, hair sniffers, socialists, communists, Stasi, brown shirts, FBI and Satan, played no role in Pious Pete's re-interpretation of the speech. In fact, it is a long-standing PPPS policy to never includes such controversial terms in any of our posts. 

Furthermore, Pious Pete would like to reiterate that he has no personal knowledge of the content of "Benito" Biden's soul and would never presume to do so. 

However, Pious Pete has previously offered an opinion on the state of political discourse in America which might help in the interpretation of the Bidens speech. Pundit Pete: Pious Pete Opines on State of Political Discourse

Here is the meme from that 2017 blog post.
