I really thought Ashley Biden was married to a man named Shady Post.

Link to absurd Daily Beast headline: here.

I asked Grok whether it's really that off to think a man could have such a name these days and was amused to hear that there really was a person — a woman — named Shady Marilla Post, who lived 1909-1972, in West Virginia. I'm told, "'Shady' shows up as a real first name in old records (maybe a nickname turned official, like from 'Shadrach' or just folksy Appalachian naming), and 'Post' is a legit surname. Combine that with modern trends—think Post Malone (real last name Post) or folks embracing 'Shady' as a vibe (hello, Eminem's alter ego)—and yeah, someone could absolutely rock that name today without raising too many eyebrows." Exactly!

By the way, Ashley's "shady post" was just the single word "FREEDOM" posted on social media.

I agree. I was thinking "Who's this shady post fellow?"

Iman said...

She seems as wacky as one would imagine a little girl showering with her Daddy would grow up to be.

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...

Hmmm! Guess it's time to up my investment in box wine and cat litter futures.

RCOCEAN II said...

She left him for Mr. Bed Post. Then there's Mr. Miles Post, who oftened call Mile Post for short.

Josephbleau said...

Are they accusing her of wrongdoing? Did she make an improper post or one that was disreputable and deceitful?

RCOCEAN II said...

His parents considered calling Adam Schiff, Shady Schiff, but that was too on the nose.

RCOCEAN II said...

It seems like every white girl born from 1977 to 1990 was named Ashley. Another male name that's been feminized.

JaimeRoberto said...

Shady Post was my college nickname.

FormerLawClerk said...

Ashley Biden will never top the shade she gave her dad for insisting on showering with her for far longer than it was appropriate.

She was skeeved out by her own father and thought him a pervert.

The Daily Mail had a similar article (with a better headline) this morning. I'm still trying to figure out what the big deal is.

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...

After thinking about it; I've come to the conclusion that these headlines must be the Ivy League version of "Girl! Wa's wrong wit chu! He's a plastic surgeon!"

Markie Post and I…made love hundreds of times in the 80s

Andy Cohen has a recurring bit where a cartoon or CGI character asks shady questions of his guests. The character is usually an object or critter associated with the guest. One really memorable iteration was the Shady Joint for Snoop Dogg, which was an actual puppet of a giant doobie. He's also done a Shady Seagull for his yacht show guests, and a Shady Poop (I don't remember who it was associated with or why).

Shady Post I'm sure will show up as soon as one of his Real Housewives tears her Jovani dress off on a fencepost while trying to drunkenly climb over it....

At least they have no children.

Ashley Biden is heading down the path of old cat lady.

She was born into a really bad situation.

Aggie said...

She's a Biden, so Freedom won't be 'free'.

Humperdink said...

Wally Post, Cincinnati Reds right fielder. He played for Reds in 50’s and 60’s. Decent power.

Aggie said...

I guess you could say she's moving from pillar to shady post.

Humperdink said...

“She was born into a really bad situation.“

I couldn’t imagine being a Biden going forward. They have no shame, but a stench surrounds them and goes where they go.

Joe’s tombstone should read: “My word as a Biden”.

After providing her shelter from the sun...

Markie Post was a White House Lincoln Bedroom guest of the Clintons. #useless stuff I remember

Jersey Fled said...

There’s always Post Toasties

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Dear Diary, Shady Post just didn't measure up to Dad's. 🫣

Wince said...

Did Joe Biden walk in at her bridal shower too?

tcrosse said...

A divorce ex Post facto.

Gospace said...

Shadrach is a perfectly good name. I only have one in my tree, born in 1752, great-grandfather of wife of 1st cousin 4x removed, so it's not that common. But it's a perfectly good name. Also 3 Shadracks, and 1 Shadrick. And a Shadia, female, born in 1973.

And I saw at least two pots on X today saying Trump raped his daughter. Didn't bother pointing out it was Biden who showered with his 13 year old daughter. As documented in her own words in her diary.

Bill, Republic of Texas said...

Wait she was married to a plastic surgeon and she looks like that?

Bob Boyd said...

That's a terrible picture of her. She looks like a nut. She looks like The Joker.

gilbar said...

cut her some slack..
her dad would repeatedly Rape her, while she was trying to shower.
while That was going on, her coked up brother was boinking his dead brother's coked up widow.
(reports of the coked up brother doing coke (and other things) with his step mom have NOT been conclusively proven... yet)
..the girl's been through hell

boatbuilder said...

I was certain that Shady Post is a rapper. Or a cornerback. Or both.

boatbuilder said...

What the hell? What is "shady" about "FREEDOM?"

Sounds like she's announcing she's a Trump supporter.

boatbuilder said...

Now, Shady Past is a different story altogether.

D. said...

Shady Lane, Rockefeller, and the battles of Big Oil:
"Initially, a deal was made in which Shell and Royal Dutch remained independent but pooled their resources. However, a merger was eventually found to be the best solution. Together with the House of Rothschild, which held an interest in the venture, and under the guidance of Shady Lane, an “absolute amalgamation of the businesses” was agreed to (p. 163). By the time the merger was executed five years later, in 1907, the alliance felt more like a takeover, with Marcus Samuel left embittered and defeated after an ultimatum from Deterding (p. 206-208). Staying on as a board member of the Royal Dutch/Shell, Marcus Samuel would retire from his own family business the following year. He continued his pursuit of public life and aristocratic titles and finally became First Viscount Bearsted after a successful lobbying campaign to convert British warships to liquid fuel. "

Her full name is Ashley Blazer Biden. Blazer? I’ve lost all respect for Joe.

Dave Begley said...

Maybe the plastic surgeon wanted out.

RCOCEAN II said...

Shady post was the son of Shady lane and the Grandson of Nighttrain lane.

It's not the dishonest kind of shady. She threw shade in her post. "Freedom" implies she was a prisoner.

Lurker said...

Perfect name for a Biden son-in-law.

Lazarus said...

It's not the dishonest kind of shady. She threw shade in her post.

That makes sense. AI says that "shady post" means dishonest or disreputable, dishonest or misleading, disreputable or manipulative, but that doesn't makes sense in this case.

I notice that J-Rod "liked" a "shady post" when she broke up with A-Lo:

Don't make her think
you care
when you have never
given a f__k about her


I wonder what she will post or like when she breaks up with Ben-Aff.

Ashley's going to regret giving up her doctor and the opportunity for security and stability. Hunter's bad example should have been example enough.

Mark said...

What's shady about, "Freedom"? Sounds like a pretty normal reaction to me. Maybe there's a Trump angle they can work into it.

Josephbleau said...

“Shadrach is a perfectly good name.“

Yes Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo, went into the firey furnace of Nebuchadnezzar because they would not worship the golden idol, great song, good beat.

I was thinking porn star.
