From BuzzFeed editor Jessica Misener comes this New York Times…headline…thing.

Can you figure out what this post is about just from reading the hed? Can you also tell us what kind of bird “a Biden” appears to be? (Answer below.)

These people certainly didn’t know what this string of garbled text meant:

@jessmisener @jaredbkeller "A Biden" is a new class of super-human political warrior. Joe Biden is among their number.
