"Santos acknowledged... financial difficulties had left him owing thousands to landlords and creditors. But he failed to fully explain... how his fortunes reversed so significantly that, by 2022, he was able to lend 700K to his congressional campaign"

Rep.-elect George Santos acknowledges ‘résumé embellishment’ but answers little on finances

In interviews, the Long Island Republican acknowledged that he never graduated from college and didn't work for Wall Street firms, but he answered few questions about his wealth.

Patient in operating room, looking up at the surgeon.

"Doctor, did you really go to Harvard Med?"

Doctor, annoyed.

"Who doesn't embellish their resume?"
"Nurse"
"Scalpel"

@capemaydave @juddlegum Look, I played an operation computer game in the 1980's! That's just as good as being a licensed doctor, right?

(I'm joking, but I really did play this game. I was horrible. I ordered every test no matter what the symptoms & then carted the person into surgery. Half the time I'd begin operating w/o anesthesia. Others, I'd make a "creative incision" that resulted in my digital patient bleeding to death. Based on this game, nobody should ever allow me to be a doctor.)
