29 April 2022 - ill-begotten

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

What is it with Joe Biden and "ill-begotten gains"? That's bad speechwriting. It's confusing to use such an old-fashioned expression--people might mix it up with "ill-gotten gains". I suggest "bastard gains".

clue:

These people make a show of being Christian, but don't seem to have absorbed Biblical language. Has everybody switched to modern translations, or do Sunday school teachers avoid explaining "controversial" words?

take oh take this clue away
