Like many I was horrified on so many levels by the news of the fire which engulfed the iconic Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. The thing that makes me truly sad is that my first reaction to the news wasn't basic human safety concerns.

2018 gave us the phrase "Creepy Porn Lawyer" thanks to Tucker Carlson. 2109 is giving us "Creepy ol' Joe" Personally, I whenever I tweet about Joe Biden (D - Polanski) I just use #PedoJoe.
