Cheney was an exception, important to point out. Biden, Harris, and Pence were the more common type of VP - their purpose was to occasionally say thing the President couldn't say, and take the sacrifice.

It's called Lava Jato, or Car Wash:

the Vice Presidency, as has been said, isn't worth a bucket of warm spit

Vance vs Hegseth vs Some "Moderate" Republican a vision of your future in the 2028 GOP Primary

OK! Send me questions and I'll answer them!

I think that the humanities' only possible future is to own the fact that what we do is important and difficult, not to change what we do so it seems like an easy A in comparison to STEM. Then again, I'm a Lecturer with no power. We'll just retreat some more.

But it ISN'T our job to change the goalposts so students can do them without learning new skills and information, or without trying hard. Suggest that in a physics class regarding an exam and they'd say "Yes, it's hard. This is college. I'm here to teach you to do something hard."

Several students said, of a recent midterm, that they had never been asked to answer multiple questions in a single prompt before, or that they didn't know how to make historical arguments. Fine! First year of college, it's our job to teach you!

I got in something of a debate with a colleague yesterday about to evaluate students after LLMs. Granted I'm a pessimist and also a dinosaur, but I fundamentally disagree with the idea that we need to bend evaluation to where students are *already* at and what they are *already* capable of.

I like Daffy more because he loses even in episodes that are his episodes!

I could hear an argument for Coyote

Daffy Duck is the best Loony Toon and I will not be taking further questions at this time
