Listening to Biden's SOTU . . .

I was reminded of a story about Harry Truman.

As I recall the story, Truman was on a whistle-stop tour, making a speech in which he was tearing into Republicans.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Give 'em hell, Harry!!"

Truman replied: "I just tell the truth, they think I'm giving 'em hell!!"

Joe Biden gave 'em hell tonight.

Now it's our turn.
