Elementary school snake assemblies! Where they, you know, bring a bunch of snakes to look at. I remember there was one of those big yellow ones like in the Britney video. And I was consequently freaked out by the video.

I’m thinking of it as maybe a group activity, with alcohol, where people take turns reading a chapter out loud. We could have these events all across the country happening at the same time. A way to bring folks together, united in a common cause.

I feel like Obama wanted, like, seven kids but Michelle (rightly) put her foot down.

I hope his post-presidency is just going around schools and playing with kids. He seems to get genuine joy from being with young'uns. He's gonna be the BEST grandpa.

::contemplates going to law school::

I hope the next president nominates him to the Supreme Court and the GOP has to eat shit and approve the appointment.

I can’t believe how much humanity he has and how kids loooooove him because he clearly looooove all kids. All the good and great stuff he’s done... nothing, to me, compares to his kid time—-> legacy.

There’s a million reasons why I love of our President. Last week, I got another one. I volunteer with this program in Chicago that pairs you up with a third-grader to work on their reading skills for an hour every Wednesday. You get to work with the same student for a year. Anyway, we were reading this book on China…

FUCK TERM LIMITS - FOUR MORE YEARS!

Um, probably cremated - but you knew that.

The late cat one made me sad and reminded me of my dead cat, Lord Stark the Earless One. He’s on the shelf.

I feel like I’m going to be crying and mentally hanging on to Obama’s ankles on January 17, 2017, screaming, “Don’t leave us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

I really hope he stays active and in the spotlight. He’s pretty damn young and he can’t really ever do a “normal” job again so really his only option is to spend the rest of his life using his influence to do dope shit.

I love his obvious joy at spending time with all children. I love his genuine charming enthusiasm for everything. You can see the dorky smart eleven-year-old he must have been inside, still thinking”I can’t believe I get to do this for part of my job!”

I hope he and Michelle hit the road in 2017 to run science fairs. Like when the snake collectors held assemblies in elementary school, but cooler.

Plz don’t leave us plz don’t leave us plz don’t leave us.

If I Had Been Ted Cruz’s Roommate

You know this is so cathartic. That whole time he was just loathing Ted Cruz and storing up all this anger and resentment and now: Voila. Take that Ted! Never forget Ted! Craig finally, finally gets to let it all out and mess with Cruz on a national forum. I, for one, am just glad I get to watch it all unfold.

Picket fence. Hay fork. Savannah crab cake.

Me too, I plan to vote for her in the primary, but if somehow she isn’t the nominee (which seems highly unlikely given the polling for the upcoming races, but weird stuff happens) I’ll happily vote for Sanders.

it’s not just the burial issue, either.
