It Has Been On My Mind: The Desk Picture

 Yesterday, President Biden went to the White House studio....it's set up with lights cameras and props....so he can give a 'story' on a moment's notice.

For some reason, what they've given him for a desk prop...is some $200 college room desk. 

Yeah, it's about a quarter the size of his actual desk.

A number of folks have offered the opinion that it's 'insulting' and a joke.

If they'd gone out to buy an actual real executive desk?  Well....it would have been in the $25,000 range (I know, because we had a Air Force major in Panama who'd gone and ordered such a desk).

I'm not pro-desk or anti-desk....just that it's a prop....like the flags, or the fake window.  

It's a silly discussion but we get this almost daily now....for 3.5 years.....a goofy scene that is mostly amusing.

You can see the sadness in its eyes.
That poor desk misses its pals in the third-grade class-room.

I see better desks in our local volunteer theater, Very Little Theater.

Edgar Buchanan (Petticoat Junction, Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres) was an Oregon dentist while learning his acting ropes at VLT.
