What Obama Is Going to Tell the Kids

Hey Kids!

It's President Obama, and boy, have I got a speech for you!

First, I want you to do something for me. I've sent all of your teachers a box of t-shirts that say "I <3 Communism." Put them on, and wear them all the time! Don't even wash them. If your parents tell you to take them off, then tell them "Better red than dead!" They'll know what you mean.

Second, no more Math! Yay, right? YAY! No math! Who needs it anyway? While we're at it, who needs Social Studies? All you need to know about the government is that the President is the coolest guy in the world and everybody else stinks! People who call themselves "Republicans" breathe fire and eat babies. Remember that, kids.

Wanna hear something cool? I wasn't even born in this country and I'm the President! Your Social Studies teachers will tell you that it's not possible to become President if you're not born in the country, but they're wrong! Anything is possible! That's what Karl Marx said! Do you know who he was? He was the coolest guy in the world and he invented bubblegum and love and joy and he was a lot like Santa Clause, who we're not going to talk about anymore because he's just Christian propaganda. Okay? Yay!

Third, I'm double-jointed! Isn't that cool?

Fourth, if you all are good and convince your parents to vote for the public option--again, they'll know what that means--I'll buy you all ice cream! I really will! And Miley Cyrus will come to all your schools--possibly in chains if she resists--and she'll perform for all of you! Just as soon as you push my agen--I mean, help your parents believe the truth--all kinds of great stuff will happen.

Fifth, you have next Friday off. Yay, right? Yay! From now on, that day will be a National Holiday known as Jihad Day. That's because your President is Islamic. Do you know what that means? It means Jesus was wrong, and so are your parents if they tell you differently! It also means that your unmarried women teachers should be stoned--and they will be too--that's why we're giving you Friday off. And on Monday, some of you will have brand new teachers who are way more fun than your sinful old ones! Yay!

Finally, I want you all to work hard this year, because if you don't, I'll ship you off to labor camps where you'll work alongside your treasonous parents and all the Senators who don't like me. Hahaha--so get to work.

And have a great year!

A List of People Who Can Go to Hell Now That I Can't Have Elizabeth Warren

So today was a rough day for everybody who isn't a @#$%-ing #$%hole. Let's just start there. If that upsets you, by all means, go straight to hell. This entire rant is going to be exactly what it sounds like. I am mad and I am going to exercise my right to BLOG ABOUT IT LIKE IT'S 1995, SO BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP. I really don't even know where to start, so let's just jump right in with the first person who comes to mind. Bloomberg, go to hell.  You really didn't have anything specific to do with today, but you can just go to hell for spending an ungodly amount of money on literally nothing.  I mean, you could have lit millions of dollars on fire and at least warmed the hands of the homeless, but instead, you made tv stations across the country that are already owned by Conservatives rich, so kudos to you and go to hell. Amy Klobuchar, I STUCK UP FOR YOU AMY.  I got into FIGHTS on SOCIAL MEDIA while DEFENDING your sorry, self-interested ass.  You know ...

Theater and the Outbreak

After last week's interview, a representative from a theater that recently experienced the results of opening too soon reached out to speak with me. I want to thank this person for coming forward in the hopes that it'll change some minds about what's safe and what isn't when it comes to the performing arts. Here's the interview: ME:  So this wasn't a full production or-- THEM:  No. It was us trying to do a little something for friends and donors. ME:  Who is 'us?' THEM:  The board of _____. ME:  And how long have you been on the board? THEM:  Three years. ME:  What was this going to be? THEM:  There's a, uh, beautiful park here in town, and we wanted to do an outdoor performance of a Shakespeare as a benefit, because, as you know, theaters are having a hard time right now paying the bills. We checked with the local government and the health department for the state to make sure we were doing everything the way we needed to in order to keep everyon...

My Favorite Podcasts

During this pandemic, I've finally gotten through most of my podcast backlog, and since a bunch of people were sharing their podcast lists last month, I thought I'd join in. I'm not going to give descriptions of each one, but I'll clarify why some are favorites of mine. 10 Things That Scare Me Adulting - Admittedly I don't really like live episodes of podcasts let alone podcasts that are mostly live, but this one is an exception. Against the Rules with Michael Lewis All Songs Considered Articles of Interest Asian Enough Broken Record The Butterfly Effect with Jon Ronson - No new episodes for awhile, but sooo interesting. Cautionary Tales - Absolutely incredible Code Switch Come Through with Rebecca Carroll - Some of the best interviews you'll hear from the past few months The Daily - I go back and forth on this one because the New York Times is so problematic, but very few podcasts does what this one does as well as it does it Dead Eyes - If you're an actor,...
