In a slight departure from the usual daily quote, I am inspired today to respond to the unintelligible ramblings of one well-known individual with the far more eloquent words of another.

We begin with this guy . . .

. . . who, while addressing a gathering of the top U.S. military brass on the subject of Marine morale, suddenly lost his train of thought and wandered off onto the subject of “Biden’s autopen” and . . . well, see for yourself:

“I have to sign for a general because we have beautiful paper,
the gorgeous paper. I said, ‘Throw a little more gold on it,
they deserve it.’ Give me — I want the A paper, not the D paper.
We used to sign a piece of garbage.”

– As reported by Robert Reich, Substack.com, November 11, 2025

It didn’t take me long to imagine the likely reaction of the Bard, had his monarch, Queen Elizabeth I, spewed such gibberish at her troops. Try this:

“It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing.”

– William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act V, Scene 5

Yup . . . I believe that pretty much sums it up.

Just sayin’ . . .
