To show where we stand in the new Cold War with China... the
communist menace showed the world that they now have new missiles that
can rain nuclear death on anywhere in the world from outer space....
and the Biden administration announced it appointed a man pretending to
be a woman as the nation's first "trans" Navy Admiral. We're really
showing China how dangerous we are, huh?

Maybe Joe's hoping that Xi will kill himself laughing?

Not a Navy admiral. A member of the Public Health Service, which carries the same ranking system as the US Navy.

You're right, Bill. It's very confusing for the two services to use the same terminology. And frankly, I think he/she/it is going to do as much damage at the Public Health Service as he/she/it would do if in the Navy.

Good reason for it, though. The Public Health Service was originally created to serve as the medical provider for the Merchant Marine. And I actually think that he/she/it will do far more damage in the PHS than he/she/it would do in the USN.

Hmm...I did not know that Bill.

I remember C. Everett Coop (who I always thought a bit of a weirdo) always wore what looked like a Navy outfit when he was surgeon general. Now I know why.

Bill's probably right about the capacity to cause damage. And I will ungallantly point out that he/she/it is ugly enough to scare a cat out of a fish market. Not that it's important. But if you're trying to pass yourself off as a member of the opposite sex, it doesn't hurt to have the "right look." If you encountered this "creature" in an elevator, I'm sure your first thought would be "My! A guy trying to pass for a gal."

Yeah; if you want to be "trans" at least take pains to look like a woman. Don't just look like a freak...

I just thought of a way to handle Xi: send him a Strongly Worded Letter. That always works -- doesn't it?

As the Frenchman says to King Arthur in Monty Python and the Holy Grail "you had better leave before I taunt you again, silly English person!"
