Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has spread to his bones.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement said.

      There’s a video of Gerald Ford talking to a class of middle-schoolers, and one asks if a women will ever become president, and he says that will absolutely happen, but he doesn’t think the first woman president will be elected. He felt she would be the VP, and the president would die, and she’d succeed him. After that, he didn’t think it would be a problem electing a woman president.

      I thought that was a pretty insightful take on the subject, and probably true.
