    Secretary of Education - that would be Linda McMahon: politician, business executive, and former professional wrestling promoter.

    The law firm I work for has been tracking his EO’s, and we’ve had to put a disclaimer on our pages this week because WH office staff keep putting the wrong articles under the wrong URL’s and we don’t want our clients to think it’s us making these stupid mistakes.

    He’s literally just hiring his stupid pals and firing competent workers.

    People seem to be missing the one positive piece of news here: She’s literate!

    The only person who would make this mistake is someone who read “AI” in an ambiguous font. I know it’s a low bar, but this means that the secretary of education is able to read.

    Considering Vince McMahon didn’t know what a burrito was, I’m not particularly surprised.

    Madigan told PWTorch editor Wade Keller: "It’s one of these stories that always repeats itself. I think the idea was they were trying to work an angle with Big Show and - like Andre (the Giant), here’s a guy who is so physically big and physically imposing - what can you do to get over on Big Show? And how are you going to do it?

    "I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: ‘We’re going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.’ So, Vince goes, ‘Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?’ It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, ‘Well, we know what a burrito is.’ And Vince goes, ‘Well, where the hell have I been?’

    “But, the funny thing is, Wade, every day at noon, Vince’s secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that’s the idea - when you’re in a bubble and in a business where you’re ostracized from society, it’s you and them, that’s it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world.”

    Bro how out of touch with your colleagues do you have to be to not know it’s AI. Have you literally never heard someone around you talk about it? No one on TV? You’ve never said it aloud to someone who corrected you?

      Apparently she started out saying AI, then switched to A1 mid-statement. Might have been corrected privately before, but it only partially took.
