If the brother had been single, that'd be one thing. He left his wife for his bother's widow, it sounds, and they'd had an affair of the heart if not the bodies before Beau's death.

The result is a scarcity of adult women. A man fortunate enough to have a wife is expected to share.
The thing is that Hans Ruesch was not an expert on Eskimo culture. In his youth he was a race car driver and later he was a novelist. How much of his novel is accurate and how much he made up I do not know.
There's a rather amusing story about Christian missionaries who arrived in Canada to convert the Eskimos. The decided to build a church. There being no trees and thus no wood in Inuit territory they brought in the materials by ship at great expense. When the church was completed, and with a nice furnace installed, they invited the Eskimos to services. The Eskimos had never been so warm. They stripped naked, men and women. What the missionaries had not realized was that the Eskimos were nudists. The only reason they wore clothes was because it was cold outside.

Remember, this is the same guy who was thrown out of the Navy in 2014 for cocaine abuse.

Typical behavior coming from the trashy Biden family tree. It is not noted, nor will it be noted by the protective liberal media, but is it possible Daddy-o, and chief groper, Joe, decided not to run for president because of this brewing scandal? The timing seems rather close enough to ask.

Agree, I really could care less who is sleeping with whom. Not my household to worry about.
However, didn't the opposite side of the aisle carry on for weeks (and the media pushed it just as hard) about some conversation that took place on a bus. You know the one about groping women or something to that effect???

If you think the only wagging tongues are owned by women, you don't understand men too well. Women have nothing on men on the gossip front.
Also, if you think that the 16yo child isn't likely bothered by Dad leaving Mom for Auntie, then you're wrong there too.
