While roaming the world for the syndicated reality program "Inside Edition", I found myself in the Eastern European country of Romania.  The government there was trying to create tourism off the infamous fictional vampire Dracula.  The Bram Stoker creation is actually based on a real guy; a vicious Medieval warlord named Vlad Tepes who annoyed his neighbors by impaling them. No Vlad Putin jokes, please.

As I drove around the Carpathian Mountains, still primitive but beautiful country, I interviewed a number of folks who actually believe in vampires.  They told me the only way to destroy one is to drive a stake through the creature's heart.

For some strange reason, that Romanian trip popped into my mind while watching President Biden's unsettling press conference last week.  I am certain old Joe is not among the undead because he'd be much more alert if he was.
