I can see your confidence in your audience is rising because there's no disclaimer that the author isn't really "Former Vice President Harris" like there was in some previous satire articles.

Really funny!! But you left out her manner of speaking -- which never sounds like any way a real human would talk. In fact that may be her worst characteristic.

I Might Be Wrong's guest columnists always sound a lot like me -- I guess they study IMBW's voice before they submit their columns!

I don't know; I thought "shaved young cam girl Paula Fox!!!" had her own voice. Perhaps that's why Substack keeps censoring her..

Hey, Sorkin has the same problem when writing female characters ... some of whom have been female vice presidents of the United States, some of whom have been trapped in walk in freezers.

Wife said I can’t shake the bed without sharing -- so you have another reader now.

I haven't laughed this hard in a while: "Even if you didn’t recognize me as Vice President — and most people don’t — then surely an unidentified corpse in your freezer is worth a call to the Dayton Gazette. Or do you come across corpses so often that no one bats an eye? Did someone just find my body and go 'Uh oh, we got another one! Commence corpse disposal protocol!'”

So so funny, had me laughing all the way through. Sparing a thought tonight for all VPs who met sticky and icy ends.

Really not funny. And I usually love your stuff. Oh well.

Absolutely hilarious! And, also, WTF was Lloyd Austin doing? Health privacy from the President and your own deputy is not an option when you’re responsible for military operations worldwide and we’re funding 2 active wars, not to mention tensions with Iran and Houthi rebels.

This is almost too cute. Unfortunately we haven’t seen anyone with any “responsibility” at a high level in the US gov’t for a couple of decades...
