First Lady Jill Biden removed a once essential article of clothing, then exclaimed “We feel naked.” I suppose she might have made that statement years ago as she removed her bra or pantyhose for the last time once they had run their course. Instead she was taking off her face mask. I’m pretty sure the First Lady still wears a bra and maybe even pantyhose a good deal of the time, but I bet she’s glad that mask is history now. The announcement that the Centers for Disease...
