A fact too good to check, from Ancient Rome: The emperor Caligula is supposed to have appointed his horse to the Senate. We Americans, however, have elected only the horse's ass as president. Where is the rest of the horse?

"Elected", in our case, is a metaphor
All my relations voted for Biden, and they do a valiant job of claiming he makes sense, even if I see senility in him.
Relations are just a drop in a big barrel.
And I sympathize.
