It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, Day 3: Gifts for Joe Biden

We did not have time to put this together yesterday; we'll have a dual Christmas for J.D. Vance and Mike Johnson tomorrow to finish the week. For now, however, a half-dozen Christmas presents for Joe Biden:

• D.K. in Chicago, IL: I think you can still get "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific" shampoo online somewhere:
  
  
  
  
• E.W. in Skaneateles, NY: A time machine so 2016 Joe Biden can beat Trump instead of Hillary and we'd never have entered the Darkest Timeline. Of course, he might just use it to undo his son Beau's death from brain cancer or maybe even prevent the tragic car crash deaths of his first wife and infant daughter. Man... that guy had it rough.
  
  
• M.C. in Newton, MA: The credit he deserves, at least from his own party. Let's also throw in a lifetime supply of ice cream cones.
  
  
• K.B. in Edgewater, NJ:
  
  
  
  
• T.C. in Danby, NY: 19th-century German artist's impression of Juan Ponce de León and his explorers drinking from a spring in Florida while supposedly seeking the Fountain of Youth:
  
  
  
  
• R.R. in Pasadena, CA: A quiet retirement after a job well done, and the knowledge that history will view him as the last great politician of the post-World War II cycle of American history.

If you have suggestions for Vance or Johnson, there's still time. Also, if you have ideas for what we should do with this space next week, let us know. We have something planned, but it's entirely possible we'll like a reader's idea better. (Z)
