I forgot Nixon was a senator for a short time.

Kamala will probably end up with 3 of the 4.

What’s particularly interesting, now that I think of it, is Nixon and LBJ overlapped in the House AND the Senate, LBJ succeeded Nixon as VP and Nixon succeeded LBJ as president.
They basically did this at the same time.

And JFK had 3 of the 4 jobs at about the same time.
There was talk of JFK for VP in 1956, JFK's father supposedly made a cash offer to LBJ to have his son as LBJ's VP. That didn't work out.
Then JFK wanted to be the VP on a 1956 ticket with Adlai Stevenson. Lucky for him that didn't happen either.
So he came close to having all 4 jobs.

Cows are tasty, thus the sum mammalian consciousness at any given moment on the planet is largely that of a cow.

Take lifespan into account
Beef cattle live for only 2-3 years.
African Bush Elephants live for 60-70 years

What about Dogs and Cats? Why are Buffalo not classified "wild"?

Yeah, but $789 to watch Inter-Miami? It's like the elephants graveyard for great footballers.

In 1990-91 I was working in Miami. You could walk in 2 minutes before any Miami Heat game and get great tickets.
Except when Jordan and the Bulls were in town. That sold out immediately.
